Weaver's analysis of the pick 8 situation...not the messiah, just a very intelligent junior footy boy
Which is exactly why I have been saying all along that I expected us to be a team looking to trade our pick.
Gumbleon, Leunberger, Hansen and Gibbs suit us perfectly but will be gone.
Selwood is too slow for us
Armitage and Hislop are inside midfielders, which are not the type we go for.
Sellar is a clone of Pattison (although a slightly better one). He won't ruck and he will struggle in a KP.
Thorp is not quite a KP player and not quite a ruck-rover. He is the most likely if we keep our pick, but again not really our type.
Reiwoldt? Don't make me laugh.
Collard and Jetta are small half-forwards. Tippett a big gorilla FF. O'Brien a back-pocket specialist.
The guys that are the ones that we'd be looking at - Benjamin, Pettard, O'Keefe, Hawksley, Boak, Edwards, Houlihan, Connors - will all still be available at 13.
Said it over and over again. I am not sitting on the fence when I say I don't know who to take at pick 8. The players around that mark don't fit our profile. I have always thought we would end up reaching for a player that we could have gotten at 15.
No problem at all with trading pick 8.
