Will we draft Rix
« on: August 15, 2005, 05:00:47 AM »
Do you think we will draft Rix?

Although he is a mature player he is the only non listed player to have a mentor under that program. Perhaps there is something in mind for him!
He has been amongst Coburg's best players every week playing at CHF and kicking goals.

I think 3 young picks in the draft should be enough to keep the continuity moving along and we should be looking for mature players to fill the glaring gap in the 24 to 28 group.
With Campbell retiring, Staff and Graham doughtful. Morrison obviously not wanted and Tivendale with his obvious lack of football nous also should go.

Of the younger ones coming on most of them appear more suitable for back play rather than forward play and so forward is the area you would expect this year to be where the recruiting concentration will be focused upon.

Having said that I expect Krakaour may be traded for a taller option up forward as his performances over the year have been ordinary and there are smalls such as Foley and Rodan able to fill in in that area.

Some of you have, I know been watching Coburg over the season and I am interested to read your thoughts on the matter. Is he or is he not a proposition?

I hope he isn't another Morrison. Good in the slower pace of the VFL but gets found out in the pace of the AFL. The question I ask is would we be considering picking him up if weren't short of 20-something KPPs?

If Michael Rix gets drafted it would be a very late pick 50+ IMO. Any side prepared to use an earlier pick than that is effect wasting a pick

Excellent tap ruckman in the AFL but not tall enough for the same role in the AFL

Disposal, in particular his kicking is not his strength. His pace would also be a concern but when it comes to the body on body type stuff - very very good

I realise a late pick will be used if we pick him up but if a player's kicking is dodgy then we should not draft him.

Naturally we'll use a late pick on him.

I actually don't think his kicking is that bad, but ive only seen a handful of games.

Isn't he quite the athlete?

If it's a case of a big fella with muscles then Julz say "I will". She can't help herself  ;D.
