Throws a few things in the mix now ..?
I doubt it as that would bea waster of No1.

However with the Boyd Dogs deal now progressing GWS may sweeten the pot to get Petracca.

So we may then use one of those picks on Wright/McCartin.

Thanks for the heads up SemperFi. I'd pick Lee over Stanley in the schoolyard any day.
Welcome Armagizmo!
I too think Lee can play footy if he can get those shoulders right - I'm not sure we can still call him 'young' though.
Quick word of warning - dont mention the word 'gym' or 'weights' on here without expecting to cop abuse from the resident know-it-all plugger66 who is adamant weights and the gym are a complete waste of time for footy players :wink:

Why do you lie all the time Con? Do you have issues? Sorry I know that answer.

And he's not that young, 24 in 2 months

Bit small for a power forward and I am not sure he has that mongrel which is required of a key forward.

PETRACCA

No point in having forwards if you can't get the ball to them.

We will also try and land a big fish fwd in 2016.

imho.
Exactly, Petracca is the man this year. We have plenty of talls that need some experience to decide if we need to keep them for the journey.


Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

I'm leaning towards Petracca and a stronger midfield base. If he successfully fills a midfield position then there is less work to do there building something formidable.
I'm optomistic reg: Spencer White and would prefer to wait on another big fwd than waiting for midfield class.

G O S A I N T S !


The boy can play and we can build a defence around him that will have respect.

Grand Final 2014
Sydney had Buddy, Tippett and Goodes in their forward line but could not get the ball to them.
We must get Petracca.

Perhaps the plan all along was to load up on mids and try to liberate Jeremy Cameron from the Giants next year. I for one would prefer mids this draft over 2metre Peter or Paddy Mac! Let's hope they follow the correct line of think and call out Christian Petracca as Selection number 1.

Surely it's Petracca.....otherwise they would have swapped picks with GWS. Pick 1 for pick 4,6 (or 7)
Get an extra pick and also select the best tall at 4.
Not trading pick 1 to me means they want Petracca......I hope so anyway.
