Of course we will pick a non SA kid and maybe even 2 and I don't have a problem with that
Prefer the best players like talia and Sloane were at their picks
If it's a south Aussie v 3 kids from other states all pretty even then we pick the SA kid

Kelly is interesting one.
Probably at the similar output as Gibbs this season.
We could of drafted him instead of Gibbs and had a spare first rounder.
The white elephant in the room.

Kelly gets to be 3rd or 4th banana in a star midfield.
Gibbs has had to lead us most of the year

You can look at it a number of ways.
Opposition puts it's bananas into danger yablet and Donald duckwood and Kelly picks up the scraps
Conversely to win the ball his biggest hurdle is his teammates who you don't get in the way of.
I suppose it comes down to personal objectivity which way you call it .
And yes Gibbs important in those early life saving wins.

I really don't think the Dockers need him. They need a key forward but McGovern isn't the type they need.
If he was to be traded then I think something around pick 10 would be appropriate.

Pick ones are speculative and people are placing too much value on them. McArtin, Boyd, Patton, Waitering, Watts all number one key picks and key position players in the last 8 years. I know I'd rather have McGovern than any of these especially when fully fit. He's established well for a young player, is only 23 and about to enter the prime of his career
There is that. Boyd though was an enormous talent who might have been more consistent in a better environment.
Point remains that it’s been a while since a top 3 KPP was worth the cost. I’d rather Mitch than virtually any of them
Ultimately that judgement rests with Haggis though

Agree. But this year, unlike most others, there are 3 SA players worth moving pieces around for. But even then, I would probably prefer Smith after Luko if he was available at our pick. Probably Walsh before Rankine too. And I really badly want Rankine. I almost hope the decision is taken out of our hands and he is best available at our pick.
Luko, Smith, Walsh/Rankine. Probably the smart thing would be Max King after Smith, but I just can’t get excited about him. I think he is a typical hit or miss KPF that comes through. You are almost obligated to take the risk on him, flight risk and all.
Weitering was very, very good in defense even in his first year.
Carlton screwed him up by suddenly decided that one of the best natural defenders I've ever seen should be a forward instead.
But make no mistake, if Weitering wasn't horribly mismanaged he'd be considered one of the best defenders in the competition in a year or two.
Your bias is showing.

With Neale saying he is open to trade is he more of the same inside mid?
Yer, we'd be furious if a south aussie was wanting out of a club and we didnt chase them.... good marking forwards don't grow on trees and its not like freo have any. They should be chasing hogan and mcgovern flat out.
Weitering in his 1st year wasnt an if, it is a fact.
