We got the 2 best kids in the country, An abosute gun future onballer/forward in Meyer, Centre Half Forward of the year in Pattison, and a few promsing kids.

Hard not to be happy. :)

Pattison looks like he is going to be a physical monster!

Watchng him on the Channel 10 interview alongside Meyer (183cm), Bling Bling (181) and Deledio (188), he was noticibly bigger and heavier.

If he doesn't make it as a forward, he may well be a gorilla in defence.

He is also sposed to be able to have a bash in the ruck :)

a gorilla where ever he plays! thats what i hope anyways! :D
the only one that worries me is meyer..... but i havent seen him play! hope he has something to prove! go tiges 2005!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BLING BLING!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
looking back i dont think there was any way we could have lost out of this draft, however i think we won big time. lids, bling bling and 'oscar' meyer should be the nucleous of a killer midfield, polo could be great and out of the talls we picked at least 2 of them should develop into gun players. VERY happy! :D

Well considering that Meyer and Tambling are two of the lighest guys in the draft, Fiora would have looked bulky standing next to them.
 
The big question was whether to take Pattison or Wood with 16. The club was obviously very keen on Pattison and it would be interesting to know whether he would have lasted until pick 20 had we not got him earlier. McGuane is a major speculative pick, very much out of the blue considering the quality of players still available at the time.

Overall I am happy simply on the basis of the first 3 players we got, Deledio was a given, but the other two were expected to go earlier. Most of our kids are very immature body wise and it will take time for them to develop so I doubt we'll see much of them. But Coburg should be setting the VFL alight next year, that's for sure.
 
A lot of people seem concerned about Tamblings weight.
Robbie Flower, Michael Tuck ..... the list goes on.
You don't need to be big bodied to play in the midfield and be a champion.
Tambling will be harder to catch than a rabbit! Reckon he'll play a bit in 05 as an impact player. Bring him on with 5 minutes to go in each quarter and let him run.
