i like him, havent noticed him going top 15 in the phantom drafts?

I agree. Think he offers a lot of things we need.

My only negative on him is, for mine, he isnt markedly better than Francis, Burton, Milera and Bonner. I would prefer to start drafting from our own backyard. Especially when the talent is of a level pegging.
 
Whilst I agree in looking for a high level mid - I would be more focussed on players who have the polish to make their possessions count.

B Crouch can rack it up and use it well.

M Crouch and Thompson rack up the numbers, but it isn't always a great thing when they do.

Quality>>>>>Quantity for me

Would take 20 Pendlebury touches over 30 Dangerfield ones any day ;)

Just stumbled onto cyril riolis younger years highlights. **** me. You look at some of these kids and compare it with his highlights package. Its like chalk and cheese. No wonder rendell said he was the most talented footballer hed ever seen.
should we have picked him up over Danger?

At the time he said he didnt want to leave melbourne because he was boarding there. I wouldve drafted him anyway and backed our club in to make him feel at home. After a few months he wouldve been fine. Darwins just up the road.:confused:
 
cyril was ridiculous as a junior, way too good for his opposition, could probably say the same in the AFL. He's always one step ahead of his opponent.
 
How about we try something like this.

Rate each player out of ten considering needs and talent

Aaron Francis ?/10
Harry McKay ?/10
Callum Ah Chee ?/10
Wayne Milera ?/10
Ryan Burton ?/10
Darcy Tucker ?/10
Mitchell Hibberd ?/10
Ben McKay ?/10
Harley Balic ?/10
Rhys Mathesion ?/10
Kieren Collins ?/10
Clayton Oliver ?/10

Young Crouch might do better with an actual full preseason and the confidence in himself to take a bit of extra time. I'm not giving up on that part of his game yet.
 
Forget the rating out of ten, I just ranked for a draft board.

Aaron Francis
Wayne Milera
Harry McKay
Clayton Oliver
Ryan Burton
Mitchell Hibberd
Ryan Clarke
Darcy Tucker
Rhys Mathesion
Luke Partington
Callum Ah Chee
Kieren Collins
Harley Balic
Ben McKay
 
I once ran a 2.95s 20 m sprint - right after seeing the biggest hairiest spider in history next to my arm. I was greased lightning that day.

I have great empathy for you. In fact, my speed would have been 0.02 seconds quicker than you.

If Aaron Francis is there you take him. No ifs or buts about it.
Burton for the 2nd pick his talent is elite. The leg will be fine, if there was a real query he wouldn't even be mentioned
Oliver is the only other one who has the size and grunt we need.
Why are we thinking of skinny little toothpicks?

Completely agree with this and was thinking the same thing. Although, if Francis isn't available, I believe Milera, if he is, should be our first pick. I feel he has the capacity to turn into an excellent outside mid.

That's not even close to true, most people on here or in the media wouldn't know the full extent of the injury, even if the medicals go well, there's no guarantees and his development will possibly be hindered because of it, it depends if the club is willing to the risk.

Listen, if there was a doubt by the Crows he wouldn't even be mentioned coming to us. With his talent, you take the chance. He is the same as Weideman, lots of talent but hurt, both will take medicals and pass them.
 
Okay, can someone convince me why we should take Ah Chee at 13? Jeffcrowe FAITH ? I'm fence-sitting at the moment, but I'm leaning towards wanting him due to his seemingly pure talent.
