What type/s of players will we target in the draft?
« on: October 21, 2016, 06:39:31 PM »
With added midfield depth will we now target a ruck, key back or key forward?
What's our priority?

:yep
Willie may be a chance to get picked up on some ones rookie list this year but can't see him being taken earlier than that.

The possibility of physical and mental collapse is now very real. No sympathy for the Devil, keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride.

Someone who remains underdeveloped and requests a trade because we didn't buy them a house?

Considering we've added 2 possibly 3 players that will be straight in the best 22 ,I'd say we'll go best available tall if we've got one in mind.
Brennan Cox would be a good get for a KPD if he's still on the board.

If McKay's still there at 27 it'd be very tempting...but this draft's strength is mids so I'd prefer someone like Poholke....can never have too much midfield depth and even though we need KPPs more we should hold our fire until next year where there is supposed be better KPP's in the draft and just cover the holes with Richards, Brown, Litherland , O' Shea this year....


Would also be very surprised if Willie Rioli slips through to the rookie draft...
