Well maybe in next years rookie draft we'll get that best 22 player.

In hindsight we probably should have kept Sinclair

Except that's not what was said and I was replying to.
In any case, what you are saying is foresight. An actual skill which is different skill set to what kranky al has.

Oh boy.
Imagine if Slyce breaks down toward the end of the year and Petrie performs really well in the ruck alongside Giles.
Then we make a GF and Naitanui is struggling to prove his fitness.
The match committee decides to play it safe and goes into the GF with Giles and Petrie, whilst NN and Slyce are forced to watch the Dish pull out his signature fist pumps on the winner's dais as he receives his premiership medallion.
"What a fantastic business decision", he'll think to himself as he embraces Simmo after the final siren.

I would hurt for NN. Truly.
Most Eagles fans would be celebrating a flag, feeling bad for NN and unless Petrie picked up a Cam Mooney style medal, hailing our recruiting team for one of the smartest punts of all time.
Then there'd be a select few trolling North supporters and claiming Petrie would be remembered as an Eagle and had done more in one season than he did there in over 300 games.

Well, I still think the decision to rookie Petrie is wrong, but after watching that I do feel somewhat better about it
It's a short term thing while Naitanui's out with his knee and nobody is under any illusions that he's there for anything other than to provide another selection option for 2017.
There's also no agreement or promise of a coaching role after 2017 like there is with Mitchell
I thought it was a waste of a pick but hope he proves me wrong
Meh i am over it so may as well move on. At the end of the day he cost nothing and should at worst be able to play a game or two if we are down players.
Some options.
Option 1:
Round 1 no Nic nat and Lycett is a 100% ready to go. Vardy, Petrie & Giles all raring to go:
Ruck: Lycett
Forward line:
Mid Vardy Darling
Cripps?/Lecra JK Rioli/Hill
Option 2:
Round 1 no Nic nat and Lycett is in the WAFL building up his fitness for an early call up in the season. Vardy, Petrie & Giles all raring to go:
Ruck: Giles
Forward line:
Mid Vardy Darling
Cripps?/Lecra JK Rioli/Hill
Option 3:
Round 1 no Nic nat and Lycett is in the WAFL building up his fitness for an early call up in the season. Vardy, Petrie & Giles all raring to go:
Ruck: Giles
Forward line:
Mid Petire Darling
Cripps?/Lecra JK Rioli/Hill
Simpson and Co have stated many times since the season finished that they want a player who can ruck & kick goals so Vardy and Petrie offer that. Vardy and Petrie are more suited to being forward than ruck so they should only be in there to be that dual role. Giles is the better ruckman of the three and would work better as a main ruckman if Lycett isn't ready. Option 1 for me is the right balance ONLY if Lycett and Vardy are a 100% fit. This scenario lets Darling play as a third man.
Giles played one hell of a game v the Crows but he also showed the a few times during the year he wasn't up to it so having Petrie in the team should keep him honest.

Hi...... sorry I'm larfing, really can't believe he's still latched to the AFL tit.
Should Drew play most games in 2017- who you thinking you should take with the first pick in the 2017 draft?

seems like a very well spoken young man. Can't wait to see him donning the blue and gold for the next decade or so.
