I reckon time will tell that we did well out of this draft.

That's encouraging.
Time wise, what are we looking at 3-5yrs?
At least we've got Newman, Grigg and Co to cover our new recruits for the next 2 years until they get their body's right.
Everything is gonna be peachy

Honestly cant see what the fuss is about, we asked for more speed and that's what we now have, we asked for more midfielders and we got that too. All players appear to have very good skills and i especially like the look of Drummond, reminds me a bit of Adam Cooney. Even Butler seems to have something special. In regards to Menadue holy crap, he has some serious toe, even if he is only 69kgs if he gets clear than how does body weight really matter. Even McKenzie has a serious upside if he can get rid of some of the puppy fat he could be anything, might nickname him "Velcro", steel traps for hands, didn't see one fumble during his highlights package.
Overall very happy with picks, think Ellis will be something special, should mature very nicely given the other midfielders he has to learn from.
Lets face it, the draft can be a lottery at the best of times so you just never know but on face value the picks tonight do appear to tick all the boxes.

What's below laughable? :lol
Seriously would have preferred Laverde or Duggan at 12 to Ellis, but at least there was a pattern to the recruiting. Get a class ball extractor (with no pace) and fill the list with elite outside runners (Menadue, Drummond, Butler). Then get a power forward that can lead and leave a gap between himself and the backman.
Still can't believe we didn't trade for (a second) a top 10-30 draft pick
It's quite upsetting to see drugcheatfc do seemingly well.
Have now compared all the highlight videos and what seems obvious is FJ has done it again.What makes you think Blakely is a better long term prospect than Menadue? Connor is a gun. Just needs to beef up. Even the others are subjective.
Amazing is his ability to pull the lesser rein on so many of our picks.
He has taken the lesser option in:decision making.in all of the choices of Ellis over Weller, Menadue over Blakely, Drummond over Gore.
kicking skills.
inside ability
toughness
tackling
disposal totals
disposal efficiency
Quite bizarre the way he manages to leave the better pick on the board within the next pick or two, which makes it all the easier to note the discrepancy for years after.
Oh well. Hopefully only the Rookie and PSD draft to go until he retires.

We need to go back and look at the Tambling, Myres and Patterson draft, were some of you as critical back then, were some of you excited?I'd say that's one of the reasons why there is some trepidation about our draftees
We all know the way it turned out....I just have a better feeling about this draft.

Sounds like a rational, well thought out and scientifically verifiable opinion based on sound research.
Could I get this weeks lotto numbers pls?

I agree WAT, I too have a good feeling about our selections especially Menadue. So why not be positive?? After all there is plenty of time to be negative, Dooks is just the guy waiting in his sleeping bag outside a new store that is selling the first ever aerosol can of doom and gloom just so he can say he was the first person to get one! ;DWe need to go back and look at the Tambling, Myres and Patterson draft, were some of you as critical back then, were some of you excited?I'd say that's one of the reasons why there is some trepidation about our draftees

Agree and if it ends up like the Tambling draft or players after our picked that were rated and playing better than ours (second and third rounders) like the Heppal draft than we will need to look at our recruiting team.
