If we can't get Boyd...should we go for Patton?

[Wayne42]

Patton wasn't really played in his first year as he had knee issues that were being managed including going to sweden or somewhere for treatment. He did a knee in his 10th game but he's played so many you can just tell he's a GOP. Rooey was pretty crap after 10 games and Kos was a champ.

I can't tell if he's a GOP, if you took the time to READ the post you would know I said HE COULD BE A GOP, for mine he'll have to prove otherwise , IF he ever gets out there.

I know his history, that's why I wrote MY opinion, why would we want him, he's unproven, he won't be the first No.1 pick that hasn't made it, IF, that is how it pans out..

Time will tell the story, not you or P66's mate.

What's the deal with those two ?

Mate of mine.. Wants to come soon.. Just sayin'

I've got a lot of time for the Rowville crew!

I got no problem with him joining our club....but I would rather factor him in with another deal....pick 3 for something new in the draft. I'd consider him a risk - knee injuries have kept him out for almost 2 full seasons already.

Sorry, meant to type home not soon**^

3178 represent lol.

Patton?

I asked his sister and she said he was pretty happy up there and signed until about 2015 and she said it was unlikely he's coming back home. The Buddy thing might change that. Spencer White and the general would be a pretty nice Buddy and Roughy type scenario.

Fist pump!

Why would we want Patton. We need big backs and tough mids not another tall forward to go with Hickey, Stanley, Lee and White.

If GWS get Buddy then Patton will be on the table you would think - but youd thin the dogs or north would be very interested in him around pick 5 . Would 22 + Gwilt, Macca or Gilbo get it done?

Lets keep 3 I reckon. We could easily end up with Aish.
I reckon Scharenberg will got top 2 because of the 'ready to go'factor - he might well go pick 1 to the GWS i reckon.

Patton is more talented than those 4 combined.

Normally I'd always advocate going for the 'best available' talent from the draft.

I just wonder if this represents an opportunity to pick up a genuine blue-chip player at a time when his value is at an especially low point.

Only if he brings a regiment of tanks with him
