Tend to agree but if we got Hobbs or Ward (by some miracle) I'd want them lining up on the ball round 1 in Gresham's place. Gresh coming back from injury and equally as important in the F50. I'd like us for once to draft a mid and play them as a damn mid straight up.
Otherwise I'd like Clark starting on the ball this season.
I'm not a massive clean disposal advocate. Chaos footy has beaten control footy for years and I doubt it snaps back any time soon. Would you have Dangerfield or Jarrod Mc Veigh? Lots of guns are just adequate kicks. Petracca was in the worst disposal efficiency stats this year but I doubt anyone at Melbourne is complaining.
Yep Yep Yep..Its like takeaway! if I'm looking at getting a burger, I want one with the Lot plus pineapple, beetroot and double bacon ...add a splash of tabasco (a personal fave)....that's what we need right now...as close to that as we can get... that means disposal , ball magnet , vicious both ways and skill plus!....if not possible then i want sushi preferably some kind of bento box special.!!!! Maybe thats a key defender! i dont know!We already have a few of them. None of our on-ballers are good kicks, I'd like at least one.

are they all of the age for this year or for future years as well?
I’m not that impressed by the scrout if that’s his highlights package what’s he do when he’s having a bad game. Some of those errors where under little pressure and does he have a left leg. I watched Goddard at the mcg back in the day when he played for vic country. He didn’t kill it on that particular day but his skills, desire and game smarts were still on full display.Is anybody else worried that all Goater does in his highlights package , is butcher the ball by foot.

Recruiters have barely seen these kids for the last two years compared to previous drafts they‘re flying blind. This is exactly the kind of draft where clubs may be keen on kids who have trained at the club or for whatever reason had more exposure. Imo this year more than any draft in recent history is likely to have some big misses and great bargains. I wish Stewart 66 was still posting he had a good handle on some of these kids, I haven’t watched any except on tv for two years.Josh Dunkley is AA that was taken at pick 25
As I said, this is a very different draft than most. You are getting too caught up with numbers.
There will be quality mids taken outside the top 10 this year. And we have pick 11.
You can put as many fast or classy flankers as you want in that side, but if we continue with an average midfield we won't get far.
There aren't too many premierships sides with a midfield as average as ours unfortunately.
Luckily most of the mids projected to go top 20 are also versatile and can play other roles. Even Owens and Windy have played mostly across the flanks this.
I hope he is still alive! Sincerely!Recruiters have barely seen these kids for the last two years compared to previous drafts they‘re flying blind.

Is this some kind of dunstan withdrawal, give yourself a slap and then have a drink. Inside mids are often under immense pressure so yeah they turn a few over but out in space with time I’m sure most have pretty good skills. Turning the ball over is a sure fire way to loose, good sides hit targets.I'm not a massive clean disposal advocate.

So how many of these so called mids that are mids but don't start in the centre square genuinely elite?
The best mids play in the centre.
How would you feel if our club was the one trading out our second?
We traded out our first in 2016 and got back the future first, an early 2nd and a late second. Some here still didn't like the deal.
That's because knowing our club we would be the one picking up pick 100Some here wouldn't be happy if we traded a pick 100 for Bont.
Someone said he was fine, still reading just not posting for some reason.I hope he is still alive! Sincerely!
We should absolutely rookie them, because it's a free swing.Not that I'm opposed to doing that, but we shouldn't just automatically rookie them because they are NGAs. It's different to Owens and Windhager, I'd only be grabbing them if we think they actually could be something. Maybe they are, but it doesn't sound like there is much interest from other clubs in them even as rookies.
We already have a few of them. None of our on-ballers are good kicks, I'd like at least one.
They wanna screw us over by having not as many draft points move upForgive my stupidity if this is a dumb question, but is there ANY reason the Roos shouldn’t call out Daicos and Darcy first before Horne? The Pies and Dogs would definitely match as they won’t get them at their first picks. Wouldn’t it be smart to get them to use up their picks just to spite them?

But my point is we could pick anyone as a free swing to fill those 2 spots, if we think they are good great, but if they don't look like much grab someone else as a Cat B, no point taking one to fill a list spot if we already know they aren't good enough just because they are an NGAWe should absolutely rookie them, because it's a free swing.
Cat B is restricted entry. So we can't just pick anyone else. It also sits outside the main list and salary cap.But my point is we could pick anyone as a free swing to fill those 2 spots, if we think they are good great, but if they don't look like much grab someone else as a Cat B, no point taking one to fill a list spot if we already know they aren't good enough just because they are an NGA
Coz there's really no benefit for them to do it. They'd lose the prestige and do their kid out of 10k.Forgive my stupidity if this is a dumb question, but is there ANY reason the Roos shouldn’t call out Daicos and Darcy first before Horne?

Rawlings said on SEN last week, they will be picking who they think is the best player in the draft,and at this stage we will be selecting Horne FrancisForgive my stupidity if this is a dumb question, but is there ANY reason the Roos shouldn’t call out Daicos and Darcy first before Horne?
