I agree with the above post and would also add that he came from our partner club in Tassie, which means we would almost certainly have some inside info about him that other clubs may not. Watching the clips and seeing him move makes me think he will be another late gem. I was surprised when I first heard the players we had drafted, but on closer inspection I think the 2013 draft could go down as a good draft after all. Obviously wait and see though. At least we didnt draft a group of players who appear to be the opposite of the type of player they need like West Coast. I didnt see one explosive running tall midfield type in the entire group of players they drafted. Weird
The thing with drafts is that you never know what a club is picking up, until they player shows it. Any pick up is a gamble. I don't mind slow maturing players either. Sometimes it just takes a bit of time and patience for a player to really show their potential.
Look at the Dockers list - it's taken a bit of time for the list to really shine and now this year and last year it has really taken off - the Dockers list that is and no doubt it will get better as the seasons go by. A premiership could be around the corner. Time will tell of course but the Dockers are certainly looking like a team-on-the-up. Playing the Dockers at Paterson's Stadium..............gee wizz.........very hard to beat them there.
Cheers.
