Draft

[borgy]

Why, if Riewoldt or Mckenzie is available then they should be taken ahead of a small. We don't need another midfielder.

thats if all the quality talls have gone.

Guys, there is more hype to Riewoldt than ability. Was very ordinary at the u18s other than a 10 minute purple patch in the last quarter of the first game. Any form shown in the VFL is not a true indication as even Kieran McGuinness looked a reasonable player at that level. May turn out to be a serviceable player but in my opinion not worth pick 11. Not convinced about Sellar either. One of the big Queenslanders appeals more as they have more upside at the moment as they are still fairly young and still learning the game.

if thought that for a while, if he wasnt a riewoldt he wouldnt got top 30 IMO, i know its a big call.

I want a tough inside player who has fierce determination and leadership qualities. Attitude is everything, given most other things are roughly equal. Higgins type. Cross type....but more a ruck rover in build.

Read Brock McLean. It was interesting that draft. The order was:

1. WB Adam Cooney
2. Ca Andrew Walker
3. Me Colin Sylvia
4. WB Farren Ray
5. Me Brock McLean

Hindsight is a wonderful thing & right at this very minute our needs would be much greater for McLean than Farren Ray. It might be different over the journey, you just never know. It just highlights how important each & every selection is.

If any of our draft picks play AFL next year they will be absolute guns. Higgins will find it hard to break into the line up so these guys will need to be exceptional.

Might not get James Sellar.
Might get James Turner >3rd rnd
