Bfooty phantom draft. Turner, Ohanlon, Verrier, Darrou.

All went first round. Read into that what you like. It's not a bad sign.

Must admit i am a little confussed why we haven't taken more midfielders. Especially outside mids. Our only pure mid was a pick 50 odd in the national draft. Is our midfield that good we didn't need to add much to it??
Take away Cotch, Martin and maybe Lids and the rest are young (Conca) or VFL standard.
The other thing i noticed is, how many half back flanker do we need on our list???
Lids (played HBF for the last 2 years)
Newey
Batch
Houli
Connners
Dea
Ellis
Grigg
Morris
and a couple more today.
Anyway time will tell.

they probably have an eye on next years draft and maybe the outside quality players will be selected then or at least the types of players we may be lacking. People are saying next years draft will be a clinker.

Don't care too much about the rookies. But when FJ said they tried to grab types that have trended to stick around and mentioned ruckmen, I'm surprised we didn't try one instead of another half back flanker. Not too fussed anyway. Generally pleased how we did.

Well one more year of good draft picks couldnt hurt  :lol but in all seriousness I have very high hopes for this years crop of players.
