Chris Egan and Richard Cole were our 'most memorable for the wrong reason' number 10 picks.In the Egan draft, we also got a dud west coast player, Chad Morrison, following in the wake of yet another WC player who failed to make an impression in Chad Rintoul. Malthouse's mates. No more old players please! And if other clubs cut players, we should be wary of picking them up. Discards are duds.
The youth and beauty of fine featured boys on the cusp of manhood (or is 'personhood' preferred for its non-sexist reference?) will provoke man (person?) love in the hearts and loins of passionate supporters. 183 cm minimum and already built to withstand the rigors of AFL footy should be our aim - bold lads with solid faces chiseled by the cut and thrust of competition, boasting a nifty turn of speed and exquisite skills.
But this is a Taylor Adams thread and I had not mentioned him once until now. Throw Taylor Adams into the mix and the names will look encouraging to even the most sceptical members of our community. The doubting Thomas-es among us will have slightly less cause to question the course the club has chosen to follow Buckley on. Not to be confused with our own Doubting Thomas currently taunting great whites to snatch a chunk of foot as he flashes overhead on his board.
