Unfortunately there are question marks over half of them as whether they can be midfielders at the top level though. Will be super interesting to see how Nelson and Cole go as midfielders in 2017, but I would really like to use 12 on an on-baller.
My honest belief is that comment means Shai Bolton is our target.
I know the club has been having numerous discussions with him.
If this happens I'd say it will be our best draft since 2001
Could they still take him and go into deficit next year?
If we take a ****ing ruckman at pick 12 I will lose my shit.
Is he worth a first rounder though?

Not knowing anything inside the club, that's exactly how I interpreted that quote.

Trade period is now closed but I think it would be great if it re-opened on Draft Night so that teams are able to
a) finish deals that couldn't be done before as the draft was too much of an unknown
b) allow clubs to specifically target certain players that they want at the draft
c) would require the draft to be brought forward so that it doesn't interfere with the start of clubs pre-season

SPP for the win. He won't last until our second unfortunately and i can't see why we'd pass up on a big bodied, aggressive, line breaking midfielder.
If Scrimshaw slides however we should drop whatever it is we're doing and draft that sumbitch.
Wouldn't complain if we reached for Ryan with our 2nd and Jake with our 3rd.

Like the NFL - I can see the value in trading on draft day. Would make much better viewing and be more meaningful. We would be able to see the manoeuvring for specific players.
I am a big SPP fan but looking into Bolton i think he would compliment our squad more so than SPP.
Bolton looks like that player we lack and that is a midfielder who can actually be rotated into the forward line and kick goals. From what i have read he has classy skills and good footy sense which is what we need. Even though he is lightly built he could easily start off in the forward line and work his way up to play midfield full time. With SPP it might be hard early on to fit him in with Priddis, Mitchell, Sheed and Shuey all playing that extractor role in the centre.
IF we could get Bolton and SPP we will go a long way to fixing our midfield issues!

TBH, English is up there because of his veratility and agility (i.e. can play fwd) but I'm not a big fan of his. I think Marshall is a talent, and Logue looks like he's tough and athletic, but probably too high for a KPD.
Could be a possibility that Bolton is being looked at rather than SPP due to the fact that the club may expect Waterman to move into the midfield eventually?

SPP can play on the HF
This is why the club should of moved heaven and earth to get another pick around 20
Could you imagine if we got SPP, Bolton, Ryan & Waterman
The thoughts on Logue are that he can be a big bodied midfielder. Played at the back end of this year at Swans as a mid and as such and went OK. Smashed the combine on the runs tests and hence his move up the board. If just a KPD, agree that way too early but will only be taken here is seen as a mid. Will be an interesting selection.
What - 4 forwards who take take a share in the midfield and not genuine mids! Not for me.
I however did want another pick like you suggested and would have ensured we had a tough inside midfielder like Brodie or a later pick like Clark.
SSP & Bolton will both develop into full time mids
SSP average 22 poss and 1 goal in colts before moving into League
Still pissed.
Neither Bolton or SPP seem to be worth pick 12, but neither will be around at our second pick.
Having only seen videos and descriptions of him on BF, I really really don't like the sound of Bolton with our first pick. Someone who struggles to impact the contest, is lightly built, and needs to work on their defensive pressure is really not what we need right now. We already have Jetta for that.
SPP did jump up to league very well at the end.
At the 2 U18 games I saw, Bolton looked great roving to a winning Goddard. He was surrounded by the likes of Fisher and Guelfi and played the outside mid role. I cannot see his light frame making it at AFL level as an inside mid and that is where we are presently short and where the GWS and Doggies excel at.

swannies or Underdog did Logue play midfield in that round 23 reserves game? How did he look? Reports make it sound like he played ruck...
His beep and 3km trial numbers indicate really good endurance, while his repeat sprints and standing vertical would indicate the explosiveness. Definitely a great athlete, not sure about a great midfield prospect though.
