Someone that can kick.

This.

Everyone becomes experts at draft time. I hope the club looks for a gun midfielder. We stupidly lost #5 which would of landed us a very good player. Anything after 10+ is not the same. Its more luck.

Petracca is a gun, I think you're blind if you don't think he is. He will be the real deal.

You can't help loving how he plays.
This is the guy I want, not that I know much about these guys.
Not bad, clever with good hands and goal sense

I'll be happy with whoever Trout Selects. He has runs on the board. If it happens to be Mathieson I know many supporters will be happy. Can't please everyone.

Do yourself a favour and go and have a look at Jade Gresham on youtube.

Just had a look at him Rioli, Tucker and Mathieson

Gresham, has real pace, beautiful disposal, great bj like vision (although his kick is not as penetrating) and can find the goals - would be ideal
Rioli - the usual Rioli X factor, lovely at ground level, disposal not fantastic, got a bit of magic about him, didn't see exceptionally fast but it was only highlights
Tucker - nice disposal, gets his own ball, didn't seem that fast but happy to be corrected, maybe we have a lot similar to him?
Mathieson - hard in and under bull, Lenny like, not blessed with huge speed, but I can see why the recruiting at the Saints are impressed by him.

With Mathieson in the mids we would have some serious beasts in him Dunstan, Acres, McKenzie, Ross and Armo. In a couple of years it would be awesome, except a bit one paced.

Picking him means there is a lot of pressure on Steven and Savage to give us some speed with Freeman if he get up.

As I said my choice would be Gresham, but any of those four and I wouldn't be unhappy.

I have only one demand - he has to be a genuine midfielder.

Not a McKenzie, Acres, Billings, Lonie, Newnes, Murdoch etc etc etc who can develop into a midfielder. We need instant midfielders.

There are a few guys at big footy who look like if not insiders very close to the club. They say we would have taken him with 5 and he's their man. Likened him to Lenny Hayes. He's a pretty average player to me too but what I'm hearing if he's there we take him then I think it was Tucker and Gresham?

Gresham is only 177cm and plays small fwd a lot of the time.

Have you looked at Bonner, Ah Chee, Milera and Oliver? All of these guys will go higher than Gresham.

Tucker looks average and slow.

Fair enough, he did seem a bit smallish.

The highlights I was watching had him midfield or HBF type drifting forward.

I'll have a look at the guys you suggest in the weeks to come.

Tucker looks average and slow.

He didn't look average, but he certainly didn't seem quick.

Think we have plenty of like types to Tucker. Need a mid with genuine pace. Freeman has it if his hammies don't twang on him, but would like a kid with some wheels.
