« Last post by Simonator on Today at 08:57:32 AM »FWIW I do think robey will be too much of a reach with picks 3 and 4, just not enough body of work. Midfielders probably rank in this order imo
Sharp, Duursma (may not end up a midfielder so hard to say), Cumming, Greeves, Then fair game after that. I just have Grlj and cumming over Greeves and sharp as I think they address more of a need for us since we have Lalor, Smillie and Kmac2, let alone Taranto and hopper.
Robey and Cumming are very similar players imo and theres an element of the unknown with both given Cummings injury and Robey’s late bloom

« Last post by Andyy on Today at 08:34:59 AM »I am not giving up on Gibcus and think that both Brown and Banks have shown enough to this point. Agree they haven’t done enough but they can’t be ruled out.
The 2006 - 2009 period yielded our premiership core and we then nailed rookie, trade and draft from 2010-2013 that delivered the list which got us into finals before the famous 2016 bounty.
To some extent, we are in a similar position as we were in 2010-2011 right now.
If Gibcus comes good and we end up with 3 best 23 players out of 5x top 30 picks that's probably acceptable.
If we end up with 2/5 that's a fail IMO.

« Last post by Andyy on Today at 07:51:44 AM »Long time lurker, finally got myself an account to get involved on the back of having picks 2 and 3.
Does anyone think we'll take Robey, the bolter out of Eastern?
Simonator thinks we should trade up to P1 to get him
(jokes Simon).
But seriously, Simon is keen to trade down from 3 to 2x top 10-15's to get him maybe etc.
I’ve never suggested we trade down at all. I don’t care if we miss out on Robey as long as we get cumming. One or both will go top 6-7 in the open draft that’s for sure
Must have been someone else suggesting we split P3, my bad.
Going to be an interesting one without a very clear top 5-10

« Last post by Andyy on Today at 07:47:49 AM »The 2021 draft at this stage is a bust for me.
Gibcus hasn't been on the park most of three years but may still turn this decision around.
Brown good.
Banks good enough.
Sonsie bust.
Clarke bust.
Not saying it's Gibcus and Clarke's fault as such but all things considered if we only yield 2/5 players from those picks it's a fail.

Western Australia will host Victoria on Saturday, February 14 at Optus Stadium.

Interesting to see if any Tigers get picked. Only Vlastuin is getting mentioned in the media.
