We got Nick Gill

[KUNG FU]

I'd like to echo Drummond's comments. The only reason this is slightly disappointing is because Westhoff was still available. I rate him quite highly. Campbell should be OK, but I don't really think we could have done any better at that pick. Maybe Dean Kelly? I don't know. The only other pick, I'm uncertain about is McKay because I can't really remember seeing him play. I was hoping Allen would be coming our way with that pick. But if McKay was best available, so be it.

Trust in Neil.

I think people need to add a bit of perspective on what pick we took him at

if you get a young guy that late in the draft chances are he ain't going to make it anyhow

you do not get 100% strike rate at drafts so if you already know what to expect - which is what you get with Gill and to a lesser point Bryce you improve you chances of a "successful" draft

Exactly. I was **********ed off early today that we drafted him but the odds are against a player taken with pick 64 being much chop anyway.

Good luck to him.

He could come out and kick 70 goals next year, you never know.

Not on draft day, only an hour left...let me have my fun!

Well he kicked 6 goals in 15 minutes earlier this year on an AFL premiership player

2 Great points there. After thinking about it for a couple of hours now I think it is a very smart move. It just gives us another option.

I wonder if our poor cousins at Alberton would have snapped him up if we didn't?

Bishop, Thurstans ??

Thurstans. (around the same time he was having some "off field troubles")

Youd get an arguement from James Hird; picked up at 79.
If hes half the player Jimmy boy is I'll be happy.
Lets give him a go eh

hird went at 79 because nobody scouted the act back then, that's all.
