Blair trading back into the draft to get a player they were thinking of taking in the twenties. The best part of claiming this small little star is that it fills another need. In one draft, we now have what other teams have tried to assemble through the draft over half a decade.
We now have three mids: one player maker, one inside bull and one elusive outside creator.
We also have two key forwards (& a half): one aggro tall beast and one explosive marking lead.
Add to this a interceptor marking defender, a agile ruck/forward and a clever small crumber.
So all in all, we have addressed all of our fundamental needs in one draft (and mostly in one draft round).
It's hard not be feel excited about the future.
