There is a small chance we could still get SPP even if we got English. That's very much a best case scenario though.

That being said, without being an expert, now that I've looked into it more my concern with English is that he seems to be more of an oversized mid and doesn't really have that ruck/forward skill set. I'm conflicted as I do think we need a young ruck on the list.

If no one slides then we will take SPP and that's fine with me.

I would be pretty pissed if we passed on him and he turns out to be awesome at another club
 
Got me thinking, how many countries races can you make...

Tim English, Peter German, Barnaby French

Any others?

English, German or French aren't countries tho.
 
More I think about it the more I feel like we won't get SPP unless he somehow makes it to 34..too many players west coast probably rate as better

We really have no idea who West Coast rate though. What we do know is that they'll have a better understanding of SPP's capabilities than any other player in the draft given he's been playing at East Perth all year

West Coast just playing Ducks and Drakes...... Unless your in the inner sanctum at WC no one really knows who we rate and what our line of thinking is on the respective players .

BOND 007 will have an idea but understandably he won't be able to shed any light on the Clubs thinking process until after the draft .

I have been following the drafts for more that a decade and IMO this is a very good Draft Class which goes much deeper than most years.

In ten years time we will look back on the 2016 cohort and admire the volume of quality players that is introduced to AFL.
 
i wouldn't be too mad with the english selection but we would need to get a few good mids from the rest of that draft. Ideally we should have looked to get two more second rounder during the trade period. Lycetts contract is up at the end of 2018 and he is on decent coin. we could have English develop at wafl for a couple of years and then look to trade lycett (free some space up) and have english walk in. I genuinly feel that both Adelaide teams will be keen for lycett with both their ruckmen aging.
Nah, rather get Goldy ;)
 
Green being delisted after he knocked back a 3 year offer mid season from Lions . Vosso alluded to picking someone like Ballantyne up in the draft or rookie draft . I think Green would offer more to us than Ballantyne anyway .
Vozzo said no to a delisted free agent though
