Highlights of Draft Night
1) Wayne Milera - finally another Wayne on our list. Why settle for a Kieran, a Callum, a Clayton or a Darcy when you can have a good old fashion Wayne.
2) The 2006 Yattarna - drinking beautifully.
3) the marinated fillet steaks
4) Doogie DoeDee - child prodigy
What did we learn tonight?
1) Unlike Vader and many other posters the AFC do not see a need for inside midfielders. We ignored a conga-line 0f well credentialled inside mids to choose Doogie.
2) Unlike many posters the AFC do not see a need for more key defenders or we didn't rate Kieran Collins.
3) We wanted to draft a tall forward (e.g. Himmelberg) but Charlie Curnow stuffed up our plans. I can't prove it but signs are we wanted Harry McKay but once Curnow slid Carlton were able to pick up both McKay and Curnow.
4) We didn't rate or trust Charlie Curnow (who IMHO is much more likely to bite us on the bum than Ryan Burton).
5) We didn't want to take the risk with Burton or we are targetting a crack at the flag in 2017/18. Hawthorn can afford to be patient and play him in in the twos for a couple of years.
6) We had the need for speed. Milera was a no brainer (thanks Gold Coast) but we opted for a rebounding defender, possibly outside mid with pick 17. If it was our intention to take this type of player then we could have gone for Riley Bonner, Darcy Tucker or Mitch Hibberd. There would have been no complaints if we took any of these three players but we went for Doogie.
At the risk of joining the snivelling sycophants, I am willing to back the club!!!!!!!!!!!!
