Very happy

Can't believed we snared McIntosh 

[Dubstep Dookie]

Dorothy Mantooth is not happy

[Eat_em_Alive]

Very happy

Seriously? I don't about him. Was he tipped to go earlier?

Confused.

Really thought we needed to target true mids rather than a defender and a forward who may have potential to be midfielders. Didn't see these as areas that needed attention,  at least not with national draft picks.

Happy enough with McBean as a project ruck - versatility will be important. Happy enough with Vlastuin - very much another Conca selection.

Be interested to see what else we do and how we address our lack of midfield depth.

[big tone]

Since 2009 when we drafted Dusty at pick 3, we have only drafted 1 genuine mid in the 4 drafts since, and that was Matthew Arnot at pick 50 odd. (which is only a 20% chance of making it IMO)
Would have thought that this year we would have gone an out and out mid with our first pick after drafting two small type back flankers (safe picks IMO) the last two years with our first pick. (and IMO neither will play midfield in the future as much as we all hope they do)

Also not sure why we need another medium/tall defenders in Kamden Mcintosh? Considering we have Grimes, Rance and now Chaplin in the trade period. Also having Astbury, Batchelor, Griffiths, Dea and even McGaune that play that position. IMO we are either saying Astbury was a mistake, Griffiths is still a 50-50 and McGuane is now a forward.... And Post was a massive mistake at pick 26.

IMO we needed a couple of genuine mids and an old fashion CHF. We have Todd Elton from last year that looks like he is 2to3 years away from being able to compete at the level, Griffiths if they ever decide to play him there, and Tyrone who is a bit of a ruck/pocket type, and Derickx who is only a 20% chance of being any good. Jack needs a fair bit of help down there with somebody else that can take a contested grab.

Anyway just my take!

Purely face value as we dont know how good these guys will be.

I find McBean a bit of a strange pick, were we reaching getting him there or was he tipped around the mark? Looks a very long term type, would we have been better served picking up a project ruckman in the rookie draft rather than wasting a 2nd rounder on him?

McDonut, the SEN guys were surprised we took him, "can play but lazy" were the words used to describe him and since when has a 179cm fwd been a medium fwd?  He may have been able to clunk marks against boys but in the AFL they are bigger, faster stronger, does he have other tricks bc one of his major weapons will likely be non existant at afl level.

Our 1st and 2nd picks look pretty good (at face value)

Agree with alot of this summary except I think we can accept that the McBean selection has been made with a long term plan in mind.

[Dubstep Dookie]

i find weve recruited for needs but it seems alot of our picks have been outdone by other clubs.

vlastuin went before a number of guns, McBean went alot earlier than expected, and someone tell me why we didnt draft a mid ahead of key back McIntosh?

for this reason seems like the most dissapointing draft in a few years. hmmmmmm

suppose we will find out in time.

Does Blair McHartley get a hard on for Mc's ?

[Dubstep Dookie]

Reece Conca is a midfiedler?
We picked up Shaun Grigg as well..
