draft

[north79]

Lets's say that Carlton take Gibbs and Bomber take Hansen

North would be with have the choice of
Gumbleton
Leuenberger


Knowing Gumbleton is the more suited choice but if our recruiting team believe that Leuenberger is going to be better player, should be take best available or best suitable

Think with second selection should take quick midfielder and third or fourth grab Edwards.

Think Perry will be rookie selection if still around, but how many player get delisted then because quality footballer

I read somewhere the Gumbleton said at the draft camp that the Roo's and Brissy where the most keen to snare him in the draft , he said he spoke to Essendon but got the luke warm feeling.

the only worry with gumbleton is his leg speed

I'm warming to Hansen by the day, but I doubt we will get the chance at him.

i think we would have more choice than just those 2 , but yes i kno wat u mean and i hope we get Gumbleton, we have a gaping hole at chf and our ruck stocks are young and good and i think they will be fighting over each other for a selection nearly every week, so no need for any more ruckman

id be happy with either gumbles or hansen, i think most people would agree

Though I don't know much about them I wonder how a Thorp or Sellar would be compared to Gumby and Hansen. Sellar was reportedly very ill this year hence his perceived slide but there are still many who insist he is as good as if not better than the other KPPs. Remember he was touted as a possible no.1 pick earlier this year. 195cm, I think he has previously recorded sprint times as fast as or even faster than Bryce Gibbs and he is also supposed to be a very skilled player for someone his size. Also tested well in agility and vertical leap IIRC. The other story going round is that he is a ruckman and that at 195 will be too short to ruck in the afl but then I have heard others say that he will be a very good KPP/CHF. On his league debut for glenelg i believe he kicked 4 goals and also kicks some bags in the reserves later - have he that he is good at presenting and leading and also capable of taking the big speccy pack marks. Have also heard that north have spoken to him a few times.

does anyone know much about sellar or thorp for that matter? i wonder what their chances would be of ending up at the roos.

Sorry but the top four has been talked up that much by all, you must take one of them, if you don't and the kid we pick get belted by the other players we will have another fiora on our hands. North as a club are getting smashed by it members( just look at the website) if they pick someone other than the top 4 god help them.
