Is that you Mitchell Thorp?

 

[Jables]

Wtf at Krummel, we drafted him with pick 6 when he played 10 injury ridden games in the last 4 years in the AFL and had been delisted lol. I was 3-4 then but jeez am I glad I was too young to care that far back.

McRae is everything our midfield lacks, guy is absolutely elite

Still young though.
Anything after 2011 is still to be decided.
Seen plenty of players who looked good at his age, then did nothing

 

[Mr Lizard]

Pick seven, unless Collingwood beats Melbourne.

The most successful pick outside pick 1

So it's just Wingard.



And Wingard would be more highly rated if he hadn't been omitted from the 2014 Preliminary Final.

Rohan's a very good player.

Brain, not Brian

 

[Billyc]

Most likely pick 7.

 

[VandoHawk]

The problems we have will not be fixed by one player. Pick 7 in a weak draft - it's not everything. And that's providing you nail the pick.

Would it be nice to have it? Yes. But I'd rather have a fit and firing Jaeger over anything in this years draft. Next year's draft is the one where I would have been crying.

Tonne of class in that list of players..... SPS, Marchbank, Macrae, Rohan, Yarran, Wingard (only made it to pick 6 because he told GWS he was going to walk out on them after his initial contract). None really before that.
