I like O'Brien. At least with his kicking and fitness he has 2 good attributes. You can't really say that about Allen or Higgins.

Stephenson is still my first choice though.

Stephenson
O'Brien
Allen
Higgins

That's my order.
We agree on Steph. That' it. I' go
Steph
Higgins
O'Brien
Allen

Mostly out of hope Obrien or Allen is there at 21

It's more likely an irregularity which is constant or causes an audible change in heart rhythm a few times a day, otherwise they wouldn't have picked it up.

For instance, I have trivial mitral valve regurgitation, which means one of my heart valves leaks a small amount of blood back into the chamber each beat. I also get occasional skipped beats and occasional palpitations (rapid irregular beating for a few seconds).

And you didn’t make it to the AFL - could be a correlation here...
 
The worrying thing about reading this thread is a see a lot of ifs, possibles, maybe and potentiallys:

He is a forward, but he could potentially be an inside midfielder.

Hes a half back, but he could potentially be an inside midfielder.

He could be an inside midfield if he improves his inside game.

He is an outside midfielder who could play inside if he bulks up.

He could be an inside midfielder is he improves winning the contested ball.

He could be an inside midfielder if we can teach him to tackle more.


Etc, etc

This is why we would be utterly mad not to grab Charlie constable:

-he IS an inside midfielder
-he IS big enough
-he DOES win the contested ball
-he DOES tackle.

All the fundamentals are in place. Yes, he does need to improve his tank, but why dont we back in our fitness staff in to improve that? I would much rather roll the dice on getting a guy with solid fundamentals fitter, that trying to improve a fit guys fundamentals.


As per an earlier poster put up, he will be one of the best draftees of this years crop.
The tank isn't the issue. That can be fixed. It's the fact that he makes priddis look quick. That's much harder to fix.

*Based on never having seen him play and going worst case

Yeah i will be very disappointed if we got O'Brien and to me it tells me we know Gaff is leaving next year and he will be the replacement. I just have this feeling the club sat down with Gaff and asked him his intentions and if he thought he would be going home next year. From there we figured lets trade this years first rounder for a couple of second rounders and then next year when Gaff goes through FA we get a first rounder anyway...
Jetta is so flakey that we can't pencil him in as a winger. So we may still need a wingman on the other side to Gaff. Not sure who on our list at the moment can move to the wing successfully. Not a fan of Redden or someone slow on the wing. We could try Nelson or Sheed I suppose.

I can't see it, but near the end of the season, it was mentioned that Gaff might move into the middle.
 
Big day and fully focused on pick 13. Even finished my morning swim at 1.3 km so that the day had meaning on our first pick.

I did struggle though wondering where Rohan will manage to do something insane. Guess we have room for 1 (hopefully that is pick 37 or later).
 
Im worried that say GWS or Adelaide or whoever was set to pick Bonar instead picks Stephenson.

Take the risk on the heart condition instead of the knee!

Would we take Bonar?

Id love Stephenson but I think we will end up with a Higgins or a OBrien.
I think I would rather take the risk on a heart problem that has been given the ok, than a reconstructed knee that has been given the ok.
