Not if he has the elusiveness to get on his left every time.

Wait. So his kicking wasn't an issue when he was drafted? Make up your mind.

Stingrays flanker/midfielder? Only really uses his right boot when he's in danger, left boot is very solid though.

Underselling his right mate.
But you're right left foot is ripping
Look at his right very solid as well

I just haven't seen him use it all that often as he's normally in a bit of space and just disposes of it on his left. I'll take your word on his right boot though.

Any idea of Mutimer's range? Wouldn't mind him for a pick later in the draft. We need another couple of line breaking backflankers/wingers. Could present real value if available in the 4th round (hasn't been much talk around him so there's a chance).

He didn't have an accurate right foot. Is that an issue for a guy playing AFL. You are obviously an expert. You tell me.

No, you tell me. You said his kicking was an issue, then you said it wasn't. Can you tell me which it is?

Hawthorn was happy to take him and in retrospect, they made a very good decision. So his not having a right foot was not an issue.

I hope Essendon makes a similar decision at #25 and reads out Daniel Rioli and we get a similar positive outcome.

We are screaming out for skilled forwards with class and plenty of X factor. We need Rioli at Essendon.

Comments?

Can you two move this to another thread? It's going to be nearly impossible to filter through the predictions with all of this shit going on.

Shush I'm enjoying this.

We did a mock draft on the Richmond board and I had Essendon.

I picked Parish, Francis, Tom Cole and Josh Dunkley.

I think you guys have strong KPPs, so I went with best available from what I've seen.

Would you be happy with those selections?

We do have strong KPP but still lack another forward which is a big hole for us atm, considering we have always had to move defenders forward to fill the hole. Think we take weid if he's up, if he's not francis and parish for sure. Think cole is around the mark, but think dunkley is too high- if there is a mckay still there I'd think we'd look into him

We actually have only the 1 KPP under 25 so it's actually a fairly large gap there haha. Otherwise I like it.

BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!! · Nov 12, 2015

Imo both our picks will be mids Woosha and Bluey love them.I back Dodoro to find a gem tall with 24/25 like he did with Carlilse.

LOL, No... Still have the faith. #24 or #25 will get the job done. Don't think we will get him with any later pick. Would love to see him in Bomber jumper. Lots of upside potential and awesome skill.

You don't have to pay heaps for upside.

Upside in this case meaning the more skilful the players around him and the quicker the pace, the better he will play.

Some of the kids may look $1million playing against other kids because they are bigger and stronger or more determined, but will they transition to AFL level.

You probably DO need to pay for upside.

boncer34 · Nov 13, 2015

If only we'd turned 24/25 into 8 to make sure we'd get Rioli.

Who would you select in the draft? Rioli definitely not worth 8.

I think he is. Untapped potential and bloodlines.

LOL, your taking the piss.

Have you ever been to the horse sales and bought a horse using your hard earned.

Bloodlines and untapped potential (upside) are what that they go on in addition to soundness and confirmation.

Wonder if any parallels can be drawn?

Wallis - Wallis
Watson - Watson
Liberatore - Liberatore
Etc etc...

Definitely some good bloodlines in Daniel. Rioli by name, but looks more like a Motlop.
