How does every one see the risk factor?
Cerra
Bonar
Brayshaw
Coffield
Higgins
Fogarty
Hunter
Not just at our club, but at others, I would think that Collingwood and Freo will be pretty hard on young players, Bonar at Freo could be about the worst combination, he'd be coming off two virtually missing years through injury, going all the way West into a club and coach that have a poor record of developing kids an already high risk pick becomes even higher risk.
Any kid that is a bit flakey at Collingwood could be the end of him, purely from Nathan's desire for many Nathans.
Purely from the competition aspect Naughton could have problems at the Saints. The same issue for Worpel if he comes at pick 35, if we get two mids then there's a lot of competition not just for staring 18 and 22 but also for best 30.

Hypothetocal-
If those arse hats at Hawthorn had kept up their end of the bargain and finished bottom 3, we would have access to LDU, Dow or Rayner
If that was the case, how would that effect who we went with at 8?
Would we feel we go a bit riskier or consolidate with a more sure thing / low ceiling?

Watching Tottenham and Southampton crowds do it is awesome, watching us do it just highlights how few people we get to our games.

Can play but slower and defensively lacking (though he’s getting better). Very committed to being the best, but very much a FIGJAM. Can be lazy with his disposal at times too.
The comparisons to Gresh offend me insofar as he hasn’t got the sidestep or the creativity, and being slower than you’d like at his height he needs those kind of tricks to reach the stratosphere at the next level. He’ll produce, but IMO he'll struggle to star, though I’ve no doubt he could prove me wrong.
I’ve said before I don’t like his ‘vibe’ and he’s not exactly a favourite of mine, but all of that being said he can play and is a midfielder, albeit a short one.
Personally there are others I’d prefer.
Yeah obviously the club is trying to build it into a big whole crowd chant like soccer or even that bloody annoying " collinnnnngwooood" shit at Magpies games but IMO it just ain't working yet. Not enough of the crowd get involved and you just hear the recording over the PA more than the crowd.
Would only work if the whole crowd jumps on board eventually.
Same as flags. A few flags in the crowd is a bit meh.
But at the NRL granny this year all supporters at both ends were all given flags and it looked pretty cool having so many flags raised in unison.
But like the chant its gotta be 1 in all in or it just doesn't work.

Dogs are eyeing Constable at 9. Hope you guys don't pounce on him.

Please. ****. Off.
Higgins is a midfielder without doubt. If he was 5cm taller there would be absolutely no debate about where he sits in the draft.
He’s not a midget, he’s a small mid. My only question mark is that we already have quite a few that are similar to him & a bull/outsider runner better fit our needs.
No doubt over the kid’s ability though.

I’m hearing you’ve interviewed Noah Balta 46 times
It’ll be great when we’re up & running.
So Round 2, 2018.

The fact he dropped out of school to focus on getting drafted concerns me...for whatever reason.
Vibrations from the war room confirm this.
Thought it'd be interesting to look at some previous drafts with our current mindset of demanding specific player types with our first rounders.
So, we'll go the last 4 drafts, and look at the range of picks 6 through to 15.
Looking for are pure midfielders/wings with speed and great/good kicking (we could add height, ready made, endurance, etc, but let's keep it a little simpler for reasons that will be apparent).
I could be misjudging some player types and be excluding them, but they'd be uneventful players anyhow.
2013
Nathan Freeman
2014
Lachie Weller
2015
Ah Chee?
Milera
2016
SPS
Simpkin
Gallucci
(other than SPS = meh, as to what we really need. Simpkin looks OK.)
That's 40 first rounders.
As we're all hoping for two top 5 mids (from a super draft) to slide to our picks, or we get not ONE but TWO epic draft steels that a club would be lucky to get across 5 drafts.
lmao
looks like we'll be taking Naughton and Bonar.

Too many women on the forum fixated with the wrong guys with the extra 2 or 3 inches

Hope they do.
And I hope he has a long career playing in the Doggies seconds, never rising to the position of a senior Constable
