While im okay with the Vlastuin pick im shocked no one on any site has commented on us not taking Grundy at 9.
i know most are going to say we took mcbean at 33 to me this is a wasted pick if we are after a competitive ruckman, im not even sure mcbean is a ruckman he may be tall but he sure doesnt show many ruckman like traits.

im not going to bag em i will wait and see but overall for me disappointing sums up our trade and nd period.

look claw not sure if we chose the right guy and to be honest we probably wont know for a year or 2, but i cant understand how we can risk heading into a new year with Maric and Vickery as our only recognized ruckman.

Its a massive risk IMO

Surely we have someone in mind in the PSD

We will take one of Stephenson or Wood in the PSD/Rookie draft for sure Daniel.

Does that help you win a flag when your coming of a low base. We havent made finals in so long, I cant see how playing the percentages or just being average gets you to a flag.

did gus play against stephenson in the VFL.

Stats wise stephenson was one of the better performed ruckman in the VFL.

Wood would be rejected by the McCain factory

Whilst i initially was left reeling, the fact so many clubs before and after us left him out of their equation says more than any armchair boofhead. There arent too many clubs with an ivan maric in their ranks yet they all overlooked him...we have one of the best in the business and depends on who you talk to but a prodigious talent in mcbean...live and let live i say :shh

Yeah I think that is just Big O's level. Being 30+ makes it hard.

Let's be honest. You didn't even know who McBean was until he got drafted last night, did you?

true. i could live with him as a rookie pick as a stop gap/back up for a year though.

its not even funny to think Patto is as equal to Wood who we most likely will take.

Giles was on the table and we didnt approach.

Griffin is homesick and we dont approach

I mean that GC game last year with no Maric is a sign of things to come if he goes down with an injury

Wood is no better than Graham IMO in fact possibly worse. I mean if the Pies were happy to go into 2013 with one specialized 30 yr old  ruckman says it all really.

where do you get this inside info from Daniel?

i for one was disappointed thought Butcher would be the bomb and look how that panned out

I wouldnt have a clue but i think we made the right choice.

we need to make finals next year. Dimma knows his job is on the line its a no brainer he was our man.

we cant afford to give a ruckman 2/3 years develop. Our time is now.
