I think you missed the bit where rines said "if the unthinkable were to happen"...

yeah well id rather us recruit a ruck then to have them play ruck, when Hille & Ryder didn't play against Crowes in that final a few years ago how well did we go against big Ivan Maric?

 

[Zach Package]

I'm starting to think it'll be Merrett at 26 barring anyone really good who slides through unexpectedly.

really warming to Jimmy Tsitsas, hope we can get our hands on him somehow, has Hannebery/Parker written all over him.

 

[Loonerty]

Picks 6-20 will be interesting (obviously minus McDonald).

Top 5 seems to be pretty much set in stone. Boyd, Kelly, Billings, Bontempelli, Kolodjashnij.

The Swans have been linked pretty strongly to Merrett too so I'm not confident he'll slide to us. I'd love us to get him though.

Is Bontempelli a risk of turning into that sort of Jack Watts 'too big for a midfielder, too small for a KPP' zone and being useless despite having amazing skills?

 

[GUMBLETRON]

He seems more a flanker/utility who might transition to the midfield. He's only 192cm, and isn't being drafted as a great white CHF hope.

definite high 'bust' factor, also probably has the highest ceiling in the draft. could be another Hird/Kouta with that kind of versatility, but could also end up being another Tony Notte

Kolodjashnij

Can someone break down this pronunciation for me?

Cheers in advance.

Ok now I can say his name without sounding like a spaz.

Personally I don't think any of the highly 'ranked' kids that are Ruck/KPF that would realistically be available at Pick #26 are worth it.. you can find heaps of options for bigger guys as long term project players via Rookie or #55..

Still think a classy kid at #26 is the way to go, preferably one that knows how to kick goals too...

With our 'window' opening next season then we need kids who will make an impact in the next 2-3 seasons.. not a skinny KPF that may take 5-6 years to develop if he does...

With our window opening next year that's why we got people like chapman/Goddard. What we need to look at doing is still draft project players to look at extending that window so they are redy to step up in 3 years and keep us at the top.

Midway through the year, it would have been absurd to have not seen Aish and Scharenberg there.
Kolodjashnij and Bontempelli have really shot up the ranks!

The merits of recruiting players change over time as more information is learned. Funny about that.

Here's another #AFLDraft flashback, a 17-year-old Fletch waiting for his name to be called by the Bombers. #DraftDons pic.twitter.com/vDo2XUyKXW

I love our twitter account

 

[Loonerty]

Whoever runs that account really does a fantastic job.

EQ thinks we'll take Dumont or Crouch if available, but will consider Apeness or Lobb heavily if they are there also.

Is Crouch any chance of sliding past Adelaide?

 

[Loonerty]

Is Crouch any chance of sliding past Adelaide?

From what I've seen I don't think so.

 

[Pweter]

Port are red hot on him too, and they have a pick before Adelaide.

Crows could go tall, Giles or Cameron if they're there would be hard to pass up, theres also Dumont and Dunstan who are both south aussies and good inside mids.

 

[Carlo]

Conlon looks machine.

Add to that Hewitt whonis rising late fast the hawks are keen at 23 the crows could attempt to trump at 23. Recruiters love the 'youngest' kid in the draft saying at the end when theyve picked them up.

id be stokedwith crouch he seems a curse of the daniel rich syndrome. Will be interesying to see where McCarthy now falls im not keen but he could be a slider if hes there at 26 wed have to take him.

 

[Fin ice Smuggler]

where is the great man ANT? he always shined this time of year, did he change his profile.

Drunk?

 

[JR95]

Really praying that Dumont slides to our pick. Could be another Zaharakis, second rounder who barracks for Essendon.

Would be wrapped.

However I think Disco will do a good job no matter who we get. Has been spot on the money of late.
