Inside mids. The star inside mids will all go top 10. None will get through to 13. What's difficult to understand about that?

That's my take on it too, we shouldn't go mid at 13 if the quality isn't there

Try reading the post again b4 not answering it ......if you actually re-read what you wrote you'll understand

 

[1990crow]

He is probably the best 2nd key forward in the comp. Definitely doesn't need replacement.

You better line up replacments for Shultz, Hoff and Ryder by that logic

2nd best in the comp? Lel

 

[Elite Crow]

I've got a feeling Harry Mckay will slide to 13

 

[WaynesWorld19]

1990crow .....Does this make sense to you ?

Half backs, Collins, Burton etc likely will be. I don't think we need half backs which leads me to think Collins or Burton likely.

2nd best in the comp? Lel

He is Adelaides 2nd key forward behind Tex. Does another club have such a good 2nd key forward. Comprehend?

 

[Bicks]

Haha I was also kidding
Oliver looks like going top 5. Milera with our first looks likely, I thought Francis might slide but seems to be going before our pick due to Curnows incident.
2nd pick like you say an inside mid would be ideal but I don't think the quality we should be looking for will be there. Half backs, Collins, Burton etc likely will be. I don't think we need half backs which leads me to think Collins or Burton likely.

Realistically the only absolutely proven quality INSIDE mid I see being still there at our pick is Mathieson and I'm not sure he has any other attributes that make him stand out from the rest, there is a few others IMO that MIGHT eventually make into contested inside mids with a far wider skill set than Mathieson but that has to be purely speculative at this point.

Made sense to me mate.

 

[Paladin]

Sorry I meant replace in a few years, gives the draftee some time to develop as a replacement.
Dixon?
But I agree, seems to be a good balance to have a couple of young forwards coming through at all times.

Dixon will be your best tall forward by a mile. Jenkins > the rest.

When you add the previous sentence it does.

Yes

 

[Sanders]

Not one AFL club, not one phantom draft had Lever as anything other than a KPD

Use your eyes

I thought it was obvious but I guess I'm going to have to spell it out to you.
Half backs like Bonner, Tucker etc, Collins (not a half back), Burton (also not a half back) will be available at 13. Given I don't think Bonner or Tucker are much of a need given we have a smorgasbord of outside half back types now.. A quality key back like Collins or potential star forward like Burton would be a better option if they are best available.

 

[Jello_B]

Lol he is probably our only tall forward that has played afl and plays as a full time forward. Pretty easy to be the best.
Edit: sorry I was also replying to your post that we needed players coming up to replace Ryder, Schulz and Hoff)

This is my reasoning. I don't rate Mathieson that highly. No improvement on Matt Crouch. I don't know enough about the other inside mids that will go 20+ so it would stand to reason we don't take an inside mid here.

Shultz? Butcher? we won't mention the failed Ryder experiment.

Ah ok yeah got you. Absolutely top 4-5 for 2nd key forward.

Thought you were in the "best available" camp ......not the "needs" camp?

At #13 if it's a toss up, we'll take best available ......i've already posted my preferences there

 

[Jello_B]

Shultz? Butcher? we won't mention the failed Ryder experiment.

Schulz is more a lead up forward. Who knows what Butcher will do next year (all the best for the bloke). Hopefully Ryder plays more in the ruck.

I am in the best available camp I just happen to think those half back types aren't worth taking over those I've mentioned.

My fault didn't make it super clear.

Fingers crossed for Milera and Burton/Collins/Mckay

 

[Bicks]

13 games for 12 times in bests and 15 goals for Gresham is pretty solid.
I haven't really bothered to look into him, any insight?

With his size [lack of] I think the big doubt is whether he will be able to be nearly as effective against the bigger bodies in the AFL, very similar player to SA's Will Snelling who I daresay would be getting talked about in the same conversation in the Vic centric media as Gresham if he was a Victorian..

Correct ....Mathieson is Meh & drifting

That's why if Curnow and Milera are available at #9, which way will the club goes .....Curnow is the better inside option

At #13 ......maybe a slider, maybe Burton, maybe Hibberd or Himmelberg

I think Curnow will still go top 7 so he won't be available. Milera I'm hoping.
13 it really is a large group. Wait and see I guess.

I agree ....we just traded in 2 HBF players and getting Otten/Shaw gives us plenty of defensive options

Milera/Francis/Curnow/ Burton/ are all flexible players that Pyke wants that can play forward and midfield down the track

Francis is not out of the equation yet by my reckoning
