pick#12

[Andyy]

Collins, Oliver, Ah Chee.

I hope next year's draft is good, otherwise I would have been happy to trade next year's picks to improve this year's and grab 2-3 of these guys. Need to get some improvement in the list quickly - one solid draftee per year won't keep us relevant long-term...

Talk now Melbourne may even grab Oliver at 3. Poor kid if that happens.

Hawks met Daniel Rioli in Ballarat on Friday. Imagine him next to uncle Cyril. Suns might just go Ah Chee and could Ryan Burton be a Tiger?

So gone before our pick:

Oliver
Ah Chee

IF Burton's knee is ok we have a steal. But it's a big IF.

[tony_montana]

Is it his knee or a bad leg break?

PPPFFFTTTT. He is either right or he isnt. There are no IFS. So far in quick time hes back playing footy and at the elite level.If his leg was stuffed hed be doing nothing.
Grt him to the club and show just a little patience.As you say steal of the draft at pick 15.

Brett Anderson now agreeing with Callum Twomey that Ah Chee will be gone before our pick (off to the Suns).

Is it his knee or a bad leg break?

Clean break just below the knee I think I read.

Every time we are linked with someone they suddenly shoot up in the prospects and will be gone before our pick LOL 

[YellowandBlackBlood]

Is it his knee or a bad leg break?

It was both. The fracture involved the top of the tibia which forms part of the knee joint. He had some cartilage damage (minor) and some ligament strain but his ACL and PCL remained intact. My worry is if the break disrupted the growth plate, there is a small chance that tibia will not grow any more and the other side may grow a little bit more leading to a difference in leg length.
And I thought he has not played any senior footy since the break so I'm not sure what claw is going on about.

When you only have 1 real pick in the draft I don't think you can be too risky with it which is why I don't think Burton will be picked by is.
I am no expert but if you are choosing between Gresham, Ah Chee and Rioli you go with the one who can get the ball the most so Gresham for me.
I think Ah Chee is the one we want but will be gone.

Ah Chee and Rioli are 'risky' are they not?

i dont know who the hell Gresham is
