Draft picks

Post: # 1231360Post spot on »

guys, just wondering what kind of players you think we should pick up
I think 1st pick should be best available key position player
2nd Maybe trade to get a ruckman that isnt getting the opportunity, ( ie like maric) or best best key position available
3nd same as above
4th best young full back in state leagues, one the can handle the bigger bodies
Rest of picks and including rookies just the best available
Whats your thoughts guys including what players might suit us??

There is no doubt we do but the first pick must be the best player avaiable unless of course you rate some players very very close.

There is a shortage of Key Position players in this draft, now downgraded from super to something a little more realistic...


Will we pick up a player in the SSP window :?:

Hopefully when it's our first pick the next best player is a tall kp. Hopefully the best player at pick 2 is the same type.

Think we must trade to get a ruckman. We will need a bit of luck like Richmond had last year. Not only do we need to get a ruckman. We need to get one that will help Big Boy or visa versa. Not another Patterson.

Only my opinion of course. :)

if the next best players all turn out to be midfielders we are going to be a very short team in a few years, any ideas what ruckman or key positions could come in to caluclation??

I've no doubt whoever we do pickup, he will be very highly rated internally, of great character, with huge upside and quite honestly we were shocked he didn't go a lot earlier.

We need a ruck (maybe from VFL) and we need a big backman.
