I think there has been some confusion Beams was certainly considered at 11 if Steele was unavalible and I believe in that scenario Blight was considered at 29.
It's all speculation obviously and recruiters say similar things after the fact every year, that said I think both Beams at 29 and Blight at 45 are real steals.
Yeah, that makes it a little easier to understand.
Melbourne were in a similar situation during the previous draft. Prior to the draft commencing at a club function, CC said that we were interested in Gawn at 18 and Fitzpatrick at 34. However, due to Tapscott being available at 18, we then picked Gawn at 34 and Fitzpatrick at 50, so it all worked out pretty well in the end.
Beams and Sidebum are gonna be guns. That's all that matters, to me anyways.
Must be boring over on the Melbourne board if your posting in here. Good to get some feedback from other supporters as long as they aint smart arse Carlton supporters.
I think Sidebottom will be a gun, however I'm not totally sold on Beams just yet, but we'll have to wait and see.
Well, I was heading to the Melbourne board and saw this was the most recently posted in thread on your board, and it sounded kind of interesting, so I thought I'd pop in.
I think it came from an article stating that collingwood were keen on him at 29 but don't be surprised if the swans swoop on him at pick 12.
But definitely correct about sidebottom and beams
Another possible and reasonable explanation for the confusion.
Thanks.
