It depends how bad you kicking is. A player with ok footskills and great pace looks better than a slow player who can pinpoint players from 50metres. I think Judd's footskills are overrated, he can't do the special kicks like Hird can or the 50 metre pinpoint passes from one step while dancing in a pack like Buckley can. But because of his pace he has time and space to measure up the kick.WakeUpTaz said:
However pace and kicking abilities are for nothing if you don't know how to get it. This is what keeps Lonie from being a midfielder. He doesn't know how to get it as a linkman running in space, or get the ball himself, he can't even consistantly get in the right spots to receive. Although I concede he's improved his "ball-getting" abilities this year by a fair bit. No longer is a poor Lonie game a 5 possesion stinker.
no chance, we have pick 4TheClokes said:
will there be any potential elite midfielders remaining when we take our pick 10? Will we be down to 4th best midfielder by that pick? Can/should Collingwoods draft pickers pick a peck of kick-ass players?

Wayne Hughes was talking him up as being in the mix for Pick 1!
He said it was extremely difficult to make a call on a player who's had a bad injury, but that he was a cut above when he was up and going.
As has been said though, even if he is taken early, that means that the probability of one of the others slipping through increases.
I'd love to see a couple of abstract picks in the top ten to really give us a shot at one of the best mids. Hard to say what the likes of Geelong & Richmond will do and Brisbane seem to have their hand up for every kid in the drafft at Pick 4!

If Selwood is still around at 10 and you pick him, it will be a steal. Could realistically go anywhere inside the top 10, but his injury may scare a few clubs. Having said that, injuries are often discarded by clubs.
But, I wouldn't have thought that slowish inside mids are your number 1 priority. You need PACE in the midfield, so someone like Jetta, Collard, Proud or O'Brien would be ideal for you IMO.

To quote Ron Burgandy, "It's an optical illusion!".Jeremias said:
We have a host of non-grunt inside midfielders. Blokes who do OK inside, but are not natural extractors.
It's why O'Bree came 8th in our B&F. It was dererved, as with the decline of Burns, OB is the only bloke who can win clearances and have impact.
We've got a heap of young and fast outside running types who are maturing. We need a ball winner, and I said this last year when I was all for drafting Hurn.

I know its a bit off topic - but then and again this hole thread is a bit off topic. Where will artimage go in the draft. Would he be worth a look at
J.selwood is hopefully going to bris with pick 4.
He is a classy player and has stated he would be rapt to go to either bris or the eagles.
Gibbs was asked who would be the #1 pick he said Selwood.
I'm personally concerned he'll last to our pick!

Brisbane's pick could be anything. If one of the good KPP falls to their pick they will probably pick them, I doubt they will pick a player based on them being a Queenslander. Unless they really reate Armitage.Wayne91 said:
