haha, your cynicism has been hard earned over the years.I don’t care who we take as long as they are rated in the top 15 or so. To me they all have a similar likelihood of making it.
But I will be melting when we take Jay Rantall and Cooper Stephens because they won the yo-yo test. That just seems to be what we think is most important.
My advice would be not to put money on it. Awful lot of mail getting about now saying we aren't picking him.That being said. Surely we pickup Robertson. Wa, a leader and ready made.
Because Jackson has already played in a successful team with Henry and Robertson.Why anyone would want Jackson is beyond me, we have no place for the guy n this team. We have rucks already, he's not a necessity
Fly the coop to go down the road?? You can’t be serious. You know Yeo was a mad dockers fan?If Henry wasn't an NGA bid, would Freo fans rate Henry as a better prospect than Robertson?
What are your thoughts on Robertson flying the coup in a year or two. Do you think you will be able to retain him?
Obviously we don't have a draft pick this year that would allow us to draft him. Just wondering if any fans of other clubs are a bit iffy on him because the idea that he might want to play for the eagles in the future.
I felt like bell hinted as much. Why bother having recruiters stationed all over the country if we are just gonna pick WA boys.My advice would be not to put money on it. Awful lot of mail getting about now saying we aren't picking him.
And don't forget the melts when we picked Hill over Rich a few years back...I think everyone needs to brace themselves for us not picking the exact players they want today. The popular pick on here hasn't been picked for the past 3 drafts. But... has it really ended up that bad though?
2016 - most wanted SPS (including me) but he wasn't available to us and we got Logue. Hasn't showed his full potential yet but neither have a lot of the picks selected after him (yeah I know English has ).
2017 - most wanted UDL and Fogarty (including me) but we got Brayshaw and Cerra. Cerra looked great last year. Brayshaw great this year. UDL has also been better than most on here would like to admit. Fogarty is a talent. I can see all four taking it to another level next year. On reflection I think we made the right choice (sans Naughton perhaps) but time will tell.
2018 - most wanted Ian Hill (including me) but we passed him and got Sturt. Way too early to tell but seeing Sam this pre-season I'm certainly far from disappointed. Everyone wanted more speed and skill in our forward line and we didn't get the exact player we expected but we got someone with that and a bit more height and versatility on top.

Whoever we take is a gun and will look fabulous in purple. Whoever we don't take is overrated.Other than the PR guys and Sumich completely melting down who on here would lose their s**t if we overlooked Robertson for Young & Stephens?
You're right, wouldn't want to have players at that quality.Maybe you have a different definition of A-grade than myself, but I would only rate Whitfield and Coniglio at that level. Walsh looks good. Bennell would have been.
And if you include the previous 20 years, the only other A graders are Hawkins, Murphy and Hasleby.
Yeah I agree but he was taken before our pick (the trade down was still worth it overall though). Henry is actually our SPS. I didn't want to jinx getting an early bid but I actually think Liam can be even better.I think SPS has been far better than Logue, more of a cream player though who would look twice as good in a decent side
I agree, I think Henry will be a superior player in the role they are trying to get SPS to play - I think Sam should be more inside.Yeah I agree but he was taken before our pick (the trade down was still worth it overall though).

Flight risk
Flight risk = High trade value though?
Trade for what though, more picks 2 or 3 years from now so we just keep drafting first rounders and rebuilding?Flight risk = High trade value though?
