unfortunately i had a big day at work and missed the whole freakin thing.

have said constantlyi if we were to take a mid
12 laverde or de goey if there.  if both gone one of 4 talls. durdin lever who ididnt think would slip, goddard and marchbank. only marchbank was gone. would have been happy with any one of the 5 still there. cstill think it prudent to take the quality tall if availble. so durdin would probably have been it.
we took ellis a player it seems  we had locked in for ages . good luck to him and he has my support.

33  for me jackson nielson, connor blakely both still there. . i rate blakely a better inside player than corey ellis. tyler kietel was one i had in contention here  and he didnt get drafted so what do i know.
with blakely available i would have thought he was the go. best inside mid in the draft imo.  but ffs can we complain about menadue here . i dont think so there is some serious upside to him imo. he fits real needs like serious pace, great skills nice height 188cm  and a frame that should be okay. dont see how anyone can complain about this pick. to top it off hes as skinny as they come but he doesnt flinch and wins a surprising amount of ball for himself.

52 well i would have taken kietel or oscar nmcdonald  here. have often said we need both  kpds and kpfs. it was a chance to address a real need.we took drummond im not sure hes a poor pick and probably worth taking here.

anyway have to rush out  will say quickly i dont think the draft too bad apart from pick 12 who i dont rate. we did okay overall i think . glad we gave mckenzie a chance at the end we do need his type.

Might grow to 200cm

Historically very few 200cm kfp have been successful

People would have been happy if we took Sellar over Riewoldt on draft night. How about now?

in your opinion only!!! Give the young men a chance and back the club :thumbsup
i think most of here give the youngsters a chance. but most of us arent fool enough to back the club  not with their record.

we all have players we wanyed.  me there were players still there i wanted rather than those the club selected  at every pick bar the last one. i think most are in this boat hence the angst of most id say.

it agin seems to me with all the talk going around that we were locked in at 12 and no matter who slipped we were taking ellis.

like many laverde was one i wanted de goey the other, i like weller a bit as well. but for me durdin lever and goddard were still there and i just couldnt go past durdin. i would have opted for the tall at 12 and hoped a good inside mid would slip to 33 which hppened in blakeley.

imo our first two picks should have gone
12 durdin/lever/ goddard/laverde
33 blakeley.

after this its open slather but there were a few we overlooked.

so are we not worried that mckenzie, possibly at the 200cm range depending on growing

will not make it seemingly based on historically there have very few 200cm kpfs that have been successful

club needs to give mckenzie a lead hat to ensure he doesnt grow to be 200cm+. if he does reach that height may as well trade or delist him.
“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."

relax everyone. None of you will know anything about these kids till they have their first run at the level. These young lads don't even know themselves if they will make the elite level until they have been tried, So give them support. They are all in the draft because they are good footballers. Many have failed before them & many more will fall but get behind the club & cut them some slack. Support the club for a change instead of bagging it out every year.  :banghead  It won't matter if your a #1 or a #50 pick. The number don't make or break you. It's your ability, skills, & footy smarts that make you elite & then you grow wiser.

whoops
was collingwood worried cloke would grow or us whith or hawthorn with roughy riewoldt and on and on.

 ffs primary school kids know that by 18 theres very little growth left for the vast majority of people.

by the way im still waiting for your list of top level kpfs. its sad when a bloke isnt big enough to admit hes wrong its called little dick syndrome i think i say again put up or shut up.
its funny watching you you admit not seeing any of the kids play but are the most vocal when it comes to criticising them mate how any one can take you serious is beyond me.
it really is like dealing with a 12 yr old.
