I'm too sheepish to make a Lamb joke.
Hoping for Garlett or Pickett. Need the run and these two look the goods. Just quietly, a bloke named Jarrod Garlett seems perfectly fitting after those we've just lost.
If Sam Kekovich says he is good to go then ill back him in!
Highschool troubles, could be be this years Darling? Although darling didnt get expelled he was a bit of a bad boy through school....
I think the most important thing to avoid is lazy players, I don't mind a bad boy as long as he's not lazy.
Behavioural issues are a lot easier to control than developing work ethic.
This is why I believe we should take Lamb if he was best available talent at 19.
I know he's a reach at 19 but I would love to grab Tyler Keitel, supreme work ethic, arrogant and thinks he's a mid fielder. You could ask for better traits In a CHB or CHF

Are you sure? At least suspended (though no shame in his efforts). Darling was also a black belt in Karate, so the kid had discipline instilled. The great steal by WCE.

I guess Tom Cruise is no chance with a Lamb about?
Garlett does not appeal to me at all

I think Eagles will get Pickett they also lack pace on outside but would love to get Jarrod Garlett with #19, runs hard and tackles
Still say pick 19 needs to be Reece McKenzie as Casboult and Liam Jones lack consistency to be reliable week in-week out goal kickers. McKenzie worth a shot around that range
Yeah we definitely need another KP project player/ruckman with all our quality young mids coming through.
I believe that any player we select at pick 19 will have deficiencies, I think its safe to say that all the "complete inside outside midfielders" will be gone and all the premium key position players will be gone. That doesn't mean we wont get a very good player.
If we go outside mid we can expect good disposal from hand and foot with some speed, but we can also expect them to be "soft" and not be able to tackle.
If we go inside mid (which I doubt we would) we can expect a ball magnet with good clearance work, but slow and may lack disposal polish.
If we go key position player we can expect either a vey athlete player but probably lacks footy smarts or a bonafide kpp with athletic attributes which leave to be desired.
I think we need to accept that were not going to get someone who ticks all the boxes but we could definitely find someone who fits our system.

do you think that McKenzie could adapt to a rucking role?
Which is i think we should draft for needs.... Identify the best Winger/outside runner and target him... rather than best available... start filling the holes rather than adding surplus to positions already filled....
I think I actually agree, with conditions of course.
Best available player that fulfils our needs unless the there is another player in the draft who the recruiters rate far higher regardless to being surplus to needs.
for example if we want out side run with pick 19 but weller is still on the board I would expect we would pick weller
No, I meant we shouldn't be looking at that profile player with our first 2 picks.
For what it's worth I believe pick 28 was never on the table for any trades because we had that ear marked for McKenzie, so in saying that and keeping in mind Rogers quota, we will either be looking for a wingman or midfielder at 19, with the former being the one I think we will target.
All on the condition that someone special who is too good to refuse (ala menzel 2012) doesn't fall to that pick.
Note: by no means do I think that we will get someone of menzels calibre at 19 I was using it as an example of deviating from the plan ( being McCarthy in 2012 )
