I was born up north and think of West Australia as home not just Perth.
Who ever Freo take I just hope it's best available and the recruiters fill in the blanks after that.
2 days to go #teamlogue
Seems dumb to me, run with players are just part of footy from about 13 years of age.

Interestingly they still do employ run with players at WAFL colts lavel though. SPS had a run with opponent on a few occasions.

All this carping about ruckman and contested marks, its actually unusual for a number 1 ruck to be a good contested mark. Go have a look this years list for instance. All of the ruckman in the top 40 average per game are actually ruck / forwards with the exception of Gawn (who at about 2 pg has a similar long term average to Sandi) The first pure ruck in the list after Gawn is Nic Nat at around 1.6 per game, 40th or so in the league. And he is not even 200 cm.
The only players well clear of 200 to average over (bar those only playing 4 or 5 games or less) 1.5 contested marks a game are Gawn and Lobb.

Emma Quayle on radio this am mentioned Taranto is now top 3. That could throw the cat amongst the pigeons.
Bugger.. If SPS wasn't a chance I was hoping for Taranto. English probably makes the most logical fit for us now.

It all means that a recruitment manager needs to apply a bit of a scale that brings the 30 odd touches in the TAC Cup and U-18 Carnival into line with what they can actually expect.
I remember Brett Deledio saying that the biggest lesson he had to learn was that talent will get him drafted, but if he won't work hard for opportunity to touch the ball he won't have an impact.
Big spanner in the works, wonder if Ainsworth may slide now.
Would not be surprised. Brisbane have a lot of small midfielders. Getting Taranto makes alot of sense.

Its her opinion but she is normally spot on. She also mentioned Ainsworth as a top pick.
I think he may. What are the priorities for the Blues, Suns, and us? Not sure a small forward is one of them.
Jeez, 2 days out and any of McCluggage, McGrath, Setterfield or Ainsworth could still be pick 1. With Taranto now shaping as top 3.
I still hope Carlton bids on Bowes with pick 5 to force GC to take him.

If we pass on Ainsworth I'll probably rage quit bigfooty for a day then get over it. He's too good to pass up on if available but I doubt he will be available.

Best available.
I can't remember a year where 1-3 was up in the air.
Their is a lot of players around pick 7 that have the about the same ability.
Ainsworth would never get past GC's picks, we wouldn't get a look in.
