And another player (first round) with strong leadership skills & excellent Draft Combine testing ........a trend with Adelaide's recruiting style
They like strong leadership across all lines
I know he's had a year off being a 'draft expert' (he's followed it somewhat though), but I know that our very own Skippos is very much a fan of this pick.

Fair enough.
Just watched the inteview. Seemed genuinely happy to be picked up by us. I think he is intellectually mature and thats why he may come across as a 75 gamer. Like his confidence though.
Maybe next year
, but definitely in two years,

Think the selection of Poholke reinforces your view .......footy skills first with athletic traits

Initial reaction for me was that I was pissed off that Eagles picked Venables right before us and I was not stoked nor angry with Gallucci pick.
Having said that, I looked at who was selected after Gallucci and there really is not a player I would rather have over our pick. From that perspective it is a good pick for us especially since his attributes are something we do need.
I am getting a little bit concerned that most of our midfielders are all similar size. I was hoping that we would draft a big tall midfielder in our lot. None of our mids are taller types but Poholke does play taller with his great marking power.
I think Gallucci will be a good get for us and his attributes do fit well here.

Being a co-captain of Vic Metro would suggest he's no shrinking violet
Given the type of player he is and how our midfield is lacking his zip, do we think he will be fast tracked next year?
Not surprised but I think he will have a stiff competition from Milera and others.
I doubt he plays in the midfield straight away. I think we are more likely to see him across HB, or HF or wing in his early games before he goes into the heat of the battle.
Yeah but he's 191cm and can take a grab already. Huge tank + great athleticism.
Surely in your books that all equates to 'contested marking mid' and that anybody that thinks he won't be a full time midfielder is an idiot and doesn't know what they're talking about....

You can have your opinion, that's fine ......IMO Berry will be a defender at AFL levelYeah but he's 191cm and can take a grab already. Huge tank + great athleticism.

Time will tell which one of us is correct

Considering the shape Harry wigg has come back in and given our need for Mids could be a big chance EC. Hope so. Midfield with him, Hampton and Milera looks nice and zippy.

Would probably need someone like Douglas to get injured.

I've also heard that he's come back a little out of shape.

Exactly what we needed from the sounds of it. Kicking style a little odd though, but if it does the trick then no worries from me.
