Dont care about your punctuation skills (although a few on here will lol)St Ick wrote:'Who was considered, in my opinion, allegedly', maybe I could have said 'obvious' instead of 'ideal', blah blah... why bother with so many bloody disclaimers, its an opinion based forum of course its was my opinion directly after the draft. No Im not an afl recruiter but I took an interest in it and they weren't my choices... obviously thats my initial reaction and Ive since taken a backward step and im looking forward to seeing to kids we got grow... only if thats ok with you (I can pm you all of my comments so you can first proof read them)? What a crock of a criticism post... while u are at it did I miss any full stops, commas or capital letters?saint66au wrote:A couple of "in my opinions" wouldnt have gone astray there...Elton IS the IDEAL choice for us?

Ross would want to be worth it because his selectuon threw it all out.
We took him at 25, one ahead of Elton, who is the ideal choice for us. Ross would have gone to Essendon at pick 31. Instead they had to change and selected Merrett, who was linked to Geelong. Selecting the next best kid they get Kersten.
IMO we could have easily picked up Elton, Kersten and Markworth. Tall timber problem solved. Shattered missing out on Grigg by one spot and passed on Lockyer, we'll see how the Tassie kid goes. Furious at Wilkes' selection, why do we have to keep picking up delisted players???
All I was trying to say is that the lines between fact and opinion are blurred too far too often on here. How many times have you seen on here.."Player A clearly desrves a game before player B..FACT" Well no its not fact at all.
Just bugs me thats all.

Richmond the perineal losers did better.
We need talls. We have Steven, Hayes, Armitage, Jones, ledger, cripps coming through and we get A MIDFIELDER?
I suggest you look up the meaning of that word - sounds like perhaps a childbirth issue.....

I for one am not a recruiter or selector, but I was hoping we might pick up Boseley or another as a full back, or Dobosz or Nick Murphy as a full forward, and Bolger or Downie as a ruckman. I thought we could have done with each of those positions strengthened. But overall I was very pleased that we managed to get both Ross and Markworth. I expected both might be gone by our first pick, and certainly by our 2nd pick. So well done on those two. Also thought Jimmy Webster was a reasonable choice, and Wilkes sounds like he may be okay. If not, we have not lost a lot with pick 68.
