You're right it's Clarke not Williams who'll be in charge next year...funny though, I was definitely told Williams had the most say at the draft these days....just assumed this was the case, it may not be....
Apparently Hackson will still be in charge for this year's draft and Williams from next year onwards...though I was under the impression Williams has pretty much been unofficially running the show for the last two drafts anyway....
What are your thoughts on Williams?
Too early to say and as I just clarified was only told Williams was the main man ....it could've still been Hackson or Clarke....f.e. Ellis - skinny , injury concerns, 49% k.e. - could be a Hackson pick ....Menadue over Blakely reeks of Francis too (though I wanted Harrison Wigg myself so can't really talk)....and Broad last year sounds like an FJ special.....Markov over Crocker (who I think will be a star - plays a bit like Martin) & Collins (who we probably needed more and then they tried to cover that need and replace Dea at the same time with Broad, who's a bit betwixt & between -a half-arsed, too- clever-by-half strategy, which as I said -reeks of Hackson's m.o.) skinny flanker v big bodied mid/forward..(I'm talking pre-draft assessments, not whether they're any good...) not sure what we saw in Drummond....I thought Butler & McKenzie were scoops but the latter's quit footy and the former hasn't played a game and is strongly rumoured to be for the axe....so who the stuff knows?
