Simpkin appears to be a decent player but can't see the Crows taking him with their 1st pick. He is too much of outside midfielder/forward and we have enough of those. Berry or Venables would be better suited.
I think the last thing the Crows need is someone who plays as the third tall defender. Need KP players and inside mids. Maybe Levicki or Surman before Keogh.
Can't find anything! I've been saying tall with 1st pick for a long time. If we take Milera with our 1st pick we have to hope Burton is available at our 2nd or take B McKay.
I would definitely take McKay or Curnow over Milera. We have already have enough similar players to Milera. And players like Balic, Gresham and Tucker will be available at our second pick.
Actually hope Milera is taken earlier so that talls are available to us.
I don't think the crows will...
So if we take Milera, we have to hope Burton is still there at our 2nd pick or take B McKay.
I'd prefer a tall with our 1st as is Id be happy with Balic or Gresham with our 2nd.
I'm not convinced he will become a mid. He is similar to Menzel, Cameron and Knight. And we drafted Seedsman and Hampton. Get a tall with our fist pick and there will still be good mids available with our second.
I absolutely agree with your 2009 point re taking Talia.
But I do think people are saying we'll pick Milera purely because he is from SA. Many in SA, including myself, think he is overrated. Can't see him being more than a high wing/half forward. Don't think Crows will take him with 1st pick...
Too many people are saying the Crows will take Milera with their 1st pick, usually on the basis of him being from SA. No way will they take him ahead of H McKay. We need talls and already have plenty of players similar to Milera. Don't think Buckenara knows the Crows list too well!!!
I think Milera is overated and we already have enough similar players. Ideally, we take a tall with our first pick and a mid with our second. Balic may be the best mid available at that point. But would be happy with Gresham and even Mathieson.
I hope we get H McKay. But why have you said we will take Ah Chee with our second pick? Crows already have numerous players for that role. Balic or Gresham before Ah Chee I think.
I see Burton as someone who can play a similar role eventually to Walker. With Podsiadly retiring we don't have talls who can play up forward. We have Dear, who is more of a project player but that is it. H Mckay is the man we want. If not available, I'd take Burton and Balic/Gresham. But don't...
I think Balic is the best of the mids who are likely to be available at our second pick. Really hope we don't pick Milera over Burton with our first pick. Don't think we should draft both of them.
I'll be very happy if we take Burton with our first selection. And there is a huge chance that will happen. Crows aren't scared of selecting players who have had injuries eg Lever last year.
