Why the hell did we go for Mclaren in the PSD instead of say that young White bloke from Richmond ?
He looks allright.

Dear me, I hope we don't trade Nick Stevens. He may be soft and playing crap footy, but we all know what he can do, and I bet you it's a hell of a lot more than a player picked between 10 and 25. Frankly, I just don't rate the National Draft that highly. A player may have talent, but without a good attitude and good nurturing from the coaching staff, that talent won't amount to anything. But don't take my word for it. Just have a look at all the top 20 drafties in recent years. I bet not 1 draft has had even 10 players turn out better than Nick Stevens.

Michael Gardiner is still my prefered choice in the PSD. - Simply because he is the best player available, and at a prime age. Gardiner may be many things, but a dud he is not. .... And strooth, we could certainly use a decent ruckman.

Dear Funkalicous,
The recruiting policy you hold so dear is what put us in the mire we are in. Drafting others clubs rejects with bad attitudes will only slow down our advancement up the ladder. The National Draft can be a bit hit and miss in the later rounds but with such a deep draft boasting so much talent we would be crazy not to capitalise. Trading Nick is a gamble in it's self but I feel if we don't act this year he will leave on his own accord next year leaving us with nothing. The club needs to approach recruitment with a modern up to date approach, if we don't we will fall further behind our competition. Why has Carlton fallen from grace? It was our own arrogance in not excepting change, Collins was still guilty of this in his regard as I think Smorgan is a little. We need to choose a clear path of direction for the club, this I feel still hasn't been resolved.

Kind Regards
BlueFeaver.

I'd trade him for 10 of the top 21 from this draft year.

Stars such as Hodge, Ball, Judd, Bartel, Maguire, Dal Santo, Mitchell, Ablett plus Browne, Reilly, Roberts-Thomson, Hale, Clarke, Sampi, Montagna, Gram, Waite, Swan, Harris, Hyde and Seaby is still a very good draft. ;)

I'd take two of those players in the second round for Stevens if they bust their gut. ;)

This draft is shaping up as another great one according to the good judges.
