got a challenge for you claude.
at this years draft, rather than rattle of a dozen or so names and then over time keep harping on about the few that look like they will urn out OK, give us ONE name for each selection, of players that are available at that pick, and then we see how you stack up.
you see thats what the recruiters have to do. they don't have the luxury of numerous options and whittling it down over time to the ones showing something.
One selection - One name
geez and here i was thinking i pretty much do that every yr.
an example being i wanted jake stringer and said if hes gone vlaustin. i also argued that if the talk was right and grundy was goint to slip we should take grundy over both as he met a more pressing list need.i didnt think for a minute he would slip.
i nominate mature players before their drafts and i nominate in order before the draft who i think we should take and its damn right insulting of you to imply otherwise.
some of us have the guts to put it out there only to opened up to ridicule from the likes of you.
for what its worth and i will only do the first rounders
2012 grundy but as stated i really liked vlaustin defended him on this site and was not upset we got him.
2011 kavanagh was hoping adams would get to our pick.
2010 heppell was ropeable we did not take this kid. i thought him a top 3 selection. i continue to argue the conca selection an over reach.just like i thought the batchelor selection an over reach.
2009 morabito it was a toss up between him and martin. there was 4 standouts and these two were two of em.i went morabito because i had seen more of him being a wa lad.again was pleased we got martin.
2008 ziebell wanted rich if he was there. but he went one pick before our pick so went ziebll.
2007 cotchin he and kruezer were standouts.
2006 was always a riewoldt fan, didnt think he would last and liked james sellar and jacks fellow tassie in mitch thorpe. lucky for me eh jack got to our pick.
2005 hurn i always considered him a top 5 pick. i was gobsmacked that miller trotted out jon on the rookie draft night and as such i caused a huge ruckus.
2004 deledio he and griffen were the standouts for me.
2003 we traded out of pick 6, beau waters was a favorite of mine despite his lack of kicking skills. i also liked ryley dunn. our first pick was at 19 and i fell over laughing when alex gilmores name was read out. i went for a lad called mathew moody from kelmscott.
every single one i nominated before the draft or immediately after the draft was done. theres 10 yrs worth there pick away.
first rounders are easy i can do the second rounders as well if you like.
