We did take Apeness then A.Pearce then Grey in 2013. So I don't think Freo is anti drafting talls. I think we probably need to get better at trading though.

Think you are exactly right. Everyone seems confident he could play at either end which is why he is ahead of Schache.
It's something I've tried to wrap my head around too. Looking at Carlton's list you'd say Schache meets there needs more however Weitering although his best position is CHB is a more than capable CHF as well. The key trait to his game is how well he reads the play and this is not just a trait that is important to his defensive game but also as a forward.
I don't see it as clearly that Weitering is a stand out number one as others might. He's the more likely option but Schache can't be discounted

That's why Melbourne wins the draft most years... until they get them down to training and undevelop them.

When does the draft start this year?
4pm Perth time
Fox footy have it advertised as 3.30 pm Cockburn time.
Preamble
Got to account for daylight savings. 3:30pm Cockburn time is 4pm Perth time I think.
Though I dunno if any development can fix watts
Let's just hope that they announce Fremantle FCC , Himmelberg at 4.00 pm.
Did you take into account the other 20 odd picks and academy bidding stuff? Will most likely be closer to 6
I agree. Sometime i like it more than the actual season. Especially if we are losingYes they are dammit, didn't you get the memo?
I love draft day, love the drama, love the excitement, there is always a couple of 'surprises' that sends everybody into a meltdown. Love the trade period as well, someone else's trash becomes another's treasure. These are the best times of the year on BF, it's hilarious.
And yes, while I believe best available has served us well and I always thought that it would help us with trading for a KP, clearly it hasn't, no one wants to leave. Time to change tactic.
In case you guys are interested, this is on online atm (been on for at least a couple of hours I think): http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-11-24/the-draft-show-live
The time the actual draft starts seems to not be certain. Saw somewhere it was 3pm WST. But the Fox Sports coverage only seems to start at 3:30pm.

I'd like to say I'm going to forget about this and just read up on the new recruits tomorrow instead of suffering through the hours of drawn out AFL HQ rubbish, but, I'd only be lying to myself...
I'll crack and keep checking in. I know it, they know it...

Fox are listing a draft camp show screening before the draft so it is probably segments of the combine starting 2.00 pm Cockburn std time.
Edit : just switched to fox. And it is a show with Brent SAnderson and Michael Ablett highlighting elite draft prospects. So as usual commercial interests are flogging this to death which is unusual for the AFL.
TBH , they have totally rooted the draft format these past few years.
Late edit: watching it right now and it is kids going through the drills at Etihad. They have an expert panel of Sanderson, Ablett and Brad Johnson hosted by Huddo.
Is absolute meh.
