Think we should take Acres at 12 now. He'll be at least as good as anyone else available there IMO but offers something different and has all the attributes we need. Unless the plan is to stockpile future quality tradebait, we risk building a very one paced & one dimensional midfield if we keep drafting similar trpes every year. All very well to have a list full of "leaders" but we all know what they say about too many chiefs - time to give them some talented indians to lead .

John eales once said that it was because they had so many leaders that they won the 1999 world cup and that basically you cant have too many.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Luke Dunstan was captain of SA in the teal cup. Thats who we should get if no one slides.

Trent Dumont would be more than suitable for our pick. Played a great finals series for Norwood and was in the top 3 best on ground in the grand final...not a bad effort playing amongst men. Was clearly better than Ash and wins his own ball, can play outside, has good foot skills and runs to the right spots. He reminds me of Vlastuin the way he plays. :thumbsup

I have. At this stage I'd probably go Freeman or Salem but I don't think Salem will be there. Freeman is probably a bit more raw than Salem and has a few deficiencies but he also has more weapons IMO so if we can get Choco to develop him into a more-rounded player we'd have a gun.

Patrick Freemanfield
:clapping

More Luke Freemanuey to me though. If he grows 10cm and starts kicking shanks off the side of his boot more regularly then Freemanfield will be more appropriate. ;D

Any chance of someone posting up the one of Salem, it takes me too long to download from that site...cheers

Looked at some of the vids.
Acres is going to be a beauty!
Salem is pretty good too. Either of these 2 will suffice!
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

For our team the two players who fit our style the best are 1) Luke Dunstan and 2) Christian Salem. Both very good footballers, good kicks, Salem seems a bit quicker but Dunstan is not slow either. If we get 1 of the 2 Id be pleased. Considering that many consider dunstan a pick between 15 and 20, we should try and get another pick and hope Salem is still there at 12 and pick up Dunstan a bit later. Would be an excellent result for us, but if we only have 1 pick inside 20 I would pick Dunstan.
