Yeah interesting pickup. Not that we're obliged to take them, but interesting note that no one else picked him up either. Did we just get lucky that we had better players sent to us in the past?First time in a few years we haven't selected the player who was sent to us in the AIS program earlier in the year, unless we rookie him. (Ryan Lim for those who were wondering.)

Menadue & McKenzie - These 2 selections have really good and topped off the draft for me
Laverde/Weller at #12 would have been sensational result but wasnt meant to be , I really hope Corey Ellis goes onto become a Gun and dominates the midfield so my beloved Tigers are a top 4 team for the next 10 years.
I wouldnt mind giving Panos a chance with a rookie selection and Tyler Keitel is another kid that would be a great pickup
Just watch weller rip it up next year and win the rising star
Does someone want to summarise 153 pages for me?
I don't know much about the players. How did we go tonight?
Put me in the camp of those a little upset we got Ellis over Weller or Laverde. Getting Mountain, Drummond and McKenzie made up for it. Could have been close to a perfect draft for us.
I get that Lavarde and Weller have the hype (and in Weller's case a lot of substance) but Ellis can play football inside to level neither can (he really does play like a left footed Heppell). Not as good on the outside but has far more scope for improvement (especially being injured as his bottom aged year was exceptional) being 6 months younger. There was so little between picks 4-20.
IMO its almost a perfect draft. Inside quality mixed with extreme pace and endurance plus another talented developing tall, probably only missed on a developing tall back, Keitel in the rookie draft would cap it all off, plus Panos as a plug and play inside mid.
What will be interesting is how people on here will cope when Weller and Blakely play more immediately then Ellis and Menadue
Ellis is neither inside or outside. He complements the midfield in both areas, but doesn't particularly excel at either. For me, he just looks a B+ player at best.Very vanilla. Of all of our recruits, Ellis is the one who might have the better career of the 5, I feel based on potential could be the worst of them., as the others excel in various areas whilst Ellis is a jack of all trades, master of none type.
Just personal preference. I understand we like going for sure things, but Welker was as safe a pick as Ellis but has a higher ceiling and potential to be elite. Also has class too.
Was he any good ?
Who I think............yesAny names we should be drafting?
7 other clubs passed on Laverde including the team that ended up getting him.Cannot believe we took Ellis with Laverde, Lever, and Weller all on the board.
This decision will come back to haunt us. Mark my words.
