I know there are a few who keenly follow the kids (that sounds a tad creepy)...

So who would you, realistically, like to see us pick up?

Realisticly, if Jack Darling continues to slide I would love to nab him. But I think he will be gone before our pick. Was touted as top 3 earlier in the year, but has really dropped down the list.

I just want the 'hindsight harrys' to declare up front who we should have taken.

Not 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 10 years down the track.

Nominate the 'errors' up front so that everybody else can see what these 'visionaries' would have done and then compare their selections with what our paid recruiters did.

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>.

Some one who turns out to be a 300 game brownlow medalist. I will try to rearrange some kind of draft order later to show that by retrading Fraser Gherig a few years ago we downgraded our current pick from number 1 to 36. Then with my powers of hind sight I will bring back up how we could have had them except for our terrible recruiting staff.

Who ever ends up being the gun out of the draft, lets hope Paul Connors has him, we can then set it up that they nominate only to go to us with no compensation.

A good promising ruckman.
A quick inside mid.
A good medium size forward.

That will do for me.

Good mid kids.

Quality mids make the difference. Look at the filth, Geelong and the Weagles

Kids a good player, but from what I've seen/heard he's a massive prick, attitude could be a problem.

That could explain why he's drifted so much in so little time.

I think so, but I haven't seen him this year so he could have improved.

There was a lot of hype around him in the junior leagues a couple of years back when he was playing 15s n 16s, he was just so much bigger than everyone else he dominated. Others would have caught him in size this year which may also play into it. I still think the Suns would be nuts not to take him with one of their later teen picks.

Charlie Riewoldt is his name, and he's Nick's cousin, Jack's brother.

We will probably get him and he turns out to be a dud, everyone will be pointing out the guy who went next pick and became a gun...

Fun game recruiting.

HE MIGHT not possess the athletic ability of his cousin Nick nor the height of brother Jack, but young Tasmanian Charlie Riewoldt does share something in common with the pair - a great pair of hands and an ability to kick a goal.

But only time will tell whether that’s enough for him to become the third Riewoldt on an AFL list later this year.

At 183cm and 74kg, the youngster from Clarence still has “a long way to goâ€
