On the plus side, it's one less spot for Tarryn Thomas.

With that pressure and tackling I can see why we've picked him.

Would be an asset at half forward to help keep the ball locked in, and intercepting the first kick out of opposition D50.

Kid seems a bit cocky, but I see that as a positive. Life will probably knock that out of him in the long term, but hopefully not before he has left his mark. 👍 Don't know if you've got our draftees mixed up but Tobie seems very humble, and even a little reserved. Tauru has a bit of swagger about h...

Interesting point on Webster, he's one we don't have a ready made replacement for. A nuggety small/medium defender. I think you need two, so we've got Stocker and 1 more. Hopefully it's McLennan.

What was the trade we made to get this pick?

Give him jumper #40 - has the Troy Schwarze hairdo going on.

Cole can be selected as a rookie if he's not picked in this draft, right?

No wonder he flew under the radar at 180cm. Looks like a good get.

Is this the replica of Garcia? Strengths and weaknesses the same, missed the combine, trade into the draft to take the pick?

Think we'll still take Cole but not the other academies and F/Sons.

That's OK we have a few years of Marshall.

Fox Footy suggested Basketball might sway him, had offers from US colleges.

Careers are 10+ years, decisions need to be taken on best available. Agree 100%.

Wow, what a slider. We must be surprised he was available. I thought the trade in for #45 was for him.

What's the bet GC bids on Cole to pay us back for Lombard.

Edit: Nope, they got left with another academy steal.

Good get. Do we take Dodson if available at 53*?

Who do we take?

Love the combative hate to lose a contest attitude.

Can play forward, back, and in the middle.

The highlights reel looks more like an outside mid than a key defender.

With our next pick at 32, hopefully no one bids on our NGA players so we can grab another player. Only 4 picks between now and our pick, these are some of the players left on the board worth looking at. Who do you want? Jack Whitlock 200cm FWD Christian Moraes 183cm Mid/Fwd Tom Sims 199cm FWD Alex ...

The pick tells me we aren't banking on Sharman, and that Caminiti is going back. Barrat will be a forward, no doubt. Membrey replacement. If we were looking for a forward, wouldn't we have drafted Whitlock? One key forward with the yips is enough, but yes listening to the draft gurus that was the o...

Yes but interesting we went for Barrat over Whitlock. I guess we got scared of goalkicking yips.

The pick tells me we aren't banking on Sharman, and that Caminiti is going back.

Barrat will be a forward, no doubt. Membrey replacement.

WTF!!! ALGER???? DODSON??? WHITLOCK??? MORAES??? BOXSHALL??

I've got a bit of faith still, the Garcia move last year gives me some confidence.

Only bulldogs to go.

Kinda hope we land Whitlock.
Will settle with Dodson.

At least one will be available.

How about neither?

All good points, but I think we will see a slight restructure of the backline. Hopefully Boris still has his fingerprints on it though. In this scenario, Caminiti takes the defensive 2nd tall role and releases Wilkie to be intercept defender/3rd tall. If it's Tauru then Wilkie stays where he is. FB/...
