Trade our 3rd rounder to Lions in twos years when Mathieson wants to go home?

 

[Jordie_tackles]

[Cannon82]

Can't believe Balic, Mathieson, and bonner are still on the board!

#38, #39 and #37, respectively.

 

[dee_mac]

Bid on Matthew Flynn FWD/ Ruck GWS academy. Bid matched

 

[Cannon82]

Damn. Hibberd, Matheison, Balic and Cole all gone in the last 7 picks. Who's left?

Who has pick 53 this year?

 

[RandB]

So we have a pair of Kings and a shitload of Jacks.

 

[Cannon82]

Highlight reel for the big fella doesn't look too bad, as far as those things go. Looks like he can kick a bit and has half a brain.

 

[DeesFan]

So we have a pair of Kings and a shitload of Jacks.

Pair of Kings ... all in


Just hope we hit something good on the river.

 

[Cannon82]

So we have a pair of Kings and a shitload of Jacks.

And a queen.

 

[dee_mac]

Liam Hulett 194cm FWD

 

[Dory_77]

Good to see we've grabbed some talls to replace the ones we've moved on (and Dawes).

 

[Demon 16]

Liam Hulett!!!

Never heard of him.

 

[Vineyy]

Sanderson said he had been a bit inconsistent. Should fit right in.

 

[DeesFan]

I think talls were on the menu .. smallest player recruited is 186cm ... (and bet he grows more) .. and 193, 196, 199 .. well we wanted height we got it.

Dawes and co will be feeling the pressure coming up

 

[Marmozet]

Stoked for Liam Hulett!

I've known him for a few years through footy, cricket and school, and he is a great bloke. Hope he does very well at the Dees

 

[Biffinator]

Hulett had a bad ankle injury.

Check out the photo - you would not want to mess with him!

[Proper Gander]

So we have a pair of Kings and a shitload of Jacks.

And the ace with Jesse, and always the joker with the Prince

 

[Proper Gander]

Liam Hulett!!!

Never heard of him.

Nor me but I like him already

 

[Vineyy]

The focus on talls means we're a lock for Prestia next year, yeah?

 

[hoddo]

Well I'm disappointed that we didn't take Francis and that the sliders didn't quite last to our 3rd pick, but on the plus side I'm very relieved that we chose Oliver over Parish and Weideman over Curnow

Oliver's looked impressive in his highlight videos despite the fact he looked downright flabby. A preseason in an AFL standard fitness regime should make him an even better player and he looks damn good to start with. Parish may be a ball magnet but his high, looping kicking style won't translate well to the AFL. I can see defenders closing down the intended targets of those kicks long before the ball reaches them.

Weideman's injury history worries me and I'm not sure about his kicking, but he looks equally comfortable marking the ball on the lead, diving to take marks low down, or taking pack marks overhead. He's a genuine key forward. By contrast Curnow is neither fish nor fowl. Too short to be a reliable key forward and lacking the mobility to be a midfielder. Of course he may develop into either, but he's high risk.
