I wouldn't worry too much about fixture difficulty at this point of time. Things change, teams rise and fall unexpectedly throughout the course of a season, and the initial difficulty doesn't always match the actual difficulty after the season has finished. I mean just look at these articles...

If we land him, his leadership and experience will be worth its weight in gold (massive understatement) for basically our whole squad:

Thank you for all the videos noobermensch! I love draft time and seeing the up and coming talent, but would be starved of footage without your wonderful work. But can I just say, is anyone else as keen on Berry as I am? I think he would be the most, or up there as my most wanted player from...

There's right/fair ways to show physical dominance and aggression and then there's dumb, morale sapping ways. I love Jy's physicality and courage, his willingness to put his body on the line and do the hard stuff. But that has nothing to do with the random silly acts that show a lack of...

Have a look at what Jy does just after Duursma's screamer. Gives a nice drive-by in the stomach to Balta who was standing on the mark. I'm actually surprised a free wasn't given because we know they have been plenty of times in the past. Needs to pull his head in regarding these sorts of...

Wow, did not see this coming at all, will put up my hand and say he was one I definitely did not think would make it, and may have gotten drafted off the back of his name more than anything else. If I recall during his draft year, seemed like an okay small/med defender who was decent at...

Didn't say he's had a great year, pretty ordinary for what he's capable of. But it's too simplistic to look at stats in isolation like this when trying to determine a players' value. Is he worth a second rounder based on just those stats? Maybe. Is anyone getting Max King for just a second...

C'mon guys. Not sure if serious? Would we give up a pick 1 for Max King? Who knows. Would the saints accept just pick 1 for him? No f***n way. You're talking about a key forward under 24 years old, yet to hit his prime, averaging 2.5 goals a game in the past two seasons. He would completely...

So happy to have this wonderkid playing for us! Can't recall a more maniacal player in my time watching football. If he has a career that is mostly uninhibited from here on in, he probably has the chance of being considered a legend (club...and possibly league). This is the kid who brought...

Yep I get that our midfield, when you look at Powell, Wardlaw, Phillips, Simpkin, McKercher etc, are all similarly sized and could be considered on the shorter side as far as modern midfielders go, but does the height really matter all that much as an inside mid? Or is it the novelty or the...

Just purely from watching noobermensch's fantastic highlights videos, I currently prefer an O'Sullivan or even a Draper over Smillie. Don't get me wrong, Smillie can look great at times, has gotten great numbers in recent games and has the size of course, but how many more unaccountable...

Them and Chom. Some guys just have that intent to want to smash into blokes

Had a damn near heart attack seeing the highlights vision of him ragdolling Wardlaw! Impressive strength yes, but easily could've done serious damage there... please guys, at least wait until the real stuff rather than doing our best to take each other out!!!

He kicked 30 in the H&A season this year. 32 if you add the one final he played. Went at 1.6 goals a game which is okay for a key forward but someone like Larkey averaged 3.1 goals a game. Almost double. In OUR team of all teams. And he went at pick 70 odd. I know he was the focal point but...

And here I was thinking it was because of this guy...

Pardon the intrusion! Have never posted on an opposition board before but just wanted to say I think you guys have landed a beauty here. Not only from a talent standpoint, but the Wizard seems to have a great support network around him and a fantastic head on his shoulders. All year I'd been...

Quad Squad

If you're going by the player comparisons, I think the ones for Curtin and Duursma especially are a bit off. Any 192cm+ mobile tall that shows some poise and promise in the midfield is almost always going to be compared to Bont. In reality, Curtin probably doesn't have the agility, hands...

All year long I was never keen on Duursma, barely even watched any of his highlight vids all the way through because I thought we had way too many of his type on our list already had my sights on McKercher/Watson/Curtin. The more we've been linked to him throughout this post season, the more...

Is he actually a poor kick though? I know your comment as well as some others were tongue in cheek, so this is not directed at you at all. Just would like to know his kicking efficiency numbers if they're out there somewhere. Granted he doesn't have the most beautiful looking action, it's...

For those who have seen a lot more footage than I have, giantroo , Souup , roos_fanatic08 , Sphynx etc, given our dearth of small forwards, if we don't go Watson at 2 or 3, what are your thoughts on Jack Delean at one of the picks in the teens? Looks classy, has the speed, can take hangers, can...

I get that he's quite a talent, but so are all the players in the top 5 of basically every draft. I mean besides your first paragraph regarding the goals (I think it's 71 goals from 31 games which is still very impressive), the rest of it reads as though it could apply to Watson. Now why would...

Can somebody please make sense of the possibility of picking Duursma for me? If we hold picks 2 and 3,my ideal choices would be McKercher and Watson. At least Watson has the ability to apply that forward pressure we desperately lack, plays in a position of need for us and is just as much of a...

Here's a behind the goals view, really really bad effort to give up a GF like that...

This is some of the top 20 heading into the draft last year: Will Ashcroft 181cm 78 kgs, 18 games Ollie Hollands 183cm 71 kgs, 19 games Jaspa Fletcher 183cm 76kgs, 13 games Max Michalanney 190cm 78 kgs, 22 games His weight/height may be an issue, his kicking may be an issue. Who knows at this...

Guys and gals, if you time, I thought this interview/podcast episode with Nick Watson was quite good. Wasn't intending to watch the whole thing when I clicked on it but ended up watching the full 40 mins: Seems to have a good head on his shoulders, talks about what it was like coming up...

For those who are unsure on Curtin as a KPD prospect, I think this video from noobermensch (thank you for all the fantastic effort with the videos btw) shows a pretty good display of what Curtin can offer. Against the gun KPF of this year and the player we'd be absolutely clamouring over if...
