Insurance for Samson “baby giraffe” Ryan. I would’ve preferred an outside “run and carry” player to compliment our current wrecking-ball midfield, yet this pick is fine in the end.
Supremely talented. However the cynic in me thinks his selection is predicated on our club not having faith in Gibcus’ recovery and living up to expectations.
Yep best we can hope is he plays a few solid games this year when inevitably half our midfield is injured and is subsequently traded to a club for a late 2nd rounder
I presume Clarke identified him as a potential Lynch replacement in case we don't land Cadman. He definitely possesses the frame to develop into a Hogan/Lynch/Hawkins FF while Bauer can occupy CHF as the Riewoldt/Cameron archetype.
Pretty good. Seems likely we’ll end up with 2 of FOS, Lalor, Smith regardless if North splits their pick. Perhaps the players we drafted with our later picks are too tall, would much rather Berry or Hotton at 13 instead of reaching for Shannahan.
The thrashings at the hands of the Lions, Dogs, Blues and Hawthorn were the exception rather than the rule. I expect most games especially after the bye to unfold similar to the Geelong, Port, Essendon games. Close then our youth run out of puff at 3/4 time.
Academy and father-sons. We have Kellaway coming through as a F/S and Willem Duursma is considered the best of the family at the pointy end of the draft.
Daniel Gorringe taken ahead of Tom Lynch will always crack me up. Almost as bad as Curnow and McKay slipping to 10 and 12 when Schache and Weideman were drafted ahead of them.
