Didn't help his cause by publicly stating he didn't care if he didn't get picked up again.....still would've taken him... was holding is own in finals only two months ago....well at least the two that Sydney won...

Anyone think we're taking a leaf out of Footscray's book? Looking for the next Johanneson perhaps?

Why would we keep drafting small fwds when our kpp depth is so poor?

Watched Atley & Scharenberg closely and could hardly tell the difference between them with regards to playing style, build and abilty - maybe Atley was half a yard quicker but neither were quick - yet Atley went at 32 while Scharenberg remained undrafted...go figure...

From all accounts next year's draft is strong on KPPs, so we have loaded up picks to target them then. No point picking up KPP players just for the sake of having another on the list. You need to assess them as being up to it first.

Flabbergasted he went unpicked. Obviously had his flaws but he could have been a handy inside mid. Maybe concerns over his body?
