Why is everyone so worried about who we are going to pick in the draft? you do realise that we now have Wayne Hughes who is credited for Freo's list and im sure he knows twice as much as any of us do on the kids coming through, so how about people stop demanding who we draft and let him do his job.

Well we don't exactly have a say in who we draft, so we have no choice to let him do his job... This forum is pretty much for us to put forward our opinions and very rarely do things turn out the way we want it to... So we have no say in what happens in Carlton when it comes to the drafts and such, we just like discussing what could be.

What i was trying to say was that everyone on here seems to think we are going to make the same mistakes as we have in the past and seem to have an idea of who we should pick and i can just see them all getting strudded when it doesnt work out as they had wanted/hoped and not giving them a chance.

Yeah but people are just saying what they think, thats the whole point.

I think Hughes will do it right, so long as he bloody picks Gibbs.

Did I hear that Gibbs had 37 possessions and 6 goals earlier in the year. ?

Yeah, but is he better than Hansen? And what's harder to find - a gun midfielder or a gun CHB?

Personally I agree with you - if all the Gibbs hype is true - I just hope we're not all getting sucked in by it and not seriously considering the alternatives. From what I've seen so far, I can't decide.

Gibbs is a potential Judd although he does lack explosive acceleration. He really does seem a quality kid as well. The main risk with the lad is him wanting to go back home. He really is a player we can build a team around and will be even better than Murph . We just have to hope we improve the atmosphere at the club enough to to keep these young guns we are finally getting. I imagine we are not the most attractive club for most players to join

I don't beleive anyone is "worried" about who we are going to pick up........its more "excitement" I would have thought and people taking a keen interest, as lets be honest there hasn't been alot of positive news emanating out of MC Labour Park in recent times.

Todays article around Thornton and Fisher being another case in point.

it's not the recruiting staff that people have no faith in

its the board most people have no faith in.

Judd is a one in a generation player - period. Gibbs doesn't have Judd's explosive pace. He's got reasonable speed, but not Judd like.
