Hamish might think so, I liked Caldwell better than Jones last year but I’ll always trust Ogilvie’s judgement

Agree
Was it you that also had an eye on Stengle in his draft year ?

 

[Mego Red]

Hamish said he watched a lot more school footy this year. I bet he saw a lot of McAsey there. If he chooses McAsey I’ll trust him for now.
He certainly won’t be a Gallucci pick. I don’t know what he was thinking there. I knew that was a fail from day one.

But have we ever selected a gun Vic Metro player who hasn’t walked out when clubs come calling?

I have this feeling that Stephens and Gould will both be available at our picks and we’ll overlook both.

Hamish wanted to draft Tim English. Pyke wanted more speed in the side as he thought we were getting too slow, so we drafted Gallucci instead. I've heard Pyke say that, at a breakfast function. Somehow, they both managed to be right and ultimately wrong.

Yep that was me, still very bullish about him and his prospects. Ton of natural talent, and already producing at a good level in the SANFL (even really liked his AFL games last year, should have played more I reckon). Sure, fitness might be a question, but as long as he has the work ethic to develop that side of his game it'll improve over time, and once it does, look out

 

[hey shorty]

He's not best available.

In your opinion, which we have established counts for.....

I'll take our recruiters opinions over yours.

All that recent silverware in our cabinet, the AFC recruiters never get it wrong.

 

[Mego Red]

For the second year Port has trumped us at the trade table to get more top 20 picks than us. That sucks as I know the bastards are going to get Gould.

Jesus, your obsession with the little brother down the road is borderline suspicious.

Who the **** cares what they do? They traded away a lot to get what they have. I'm more concerned about Freo - they got overs for Hill and now will get three early firsts, after bringing in very early picks the last few years. They've done an excellent rebuild job.

Not too bloody often given the picks they've had to work with/.

Yeah I thought it was
I liked him too and Mutineer at times corrects me that he was your lad first and not mine

 

[Crowked]

The elite mids could be gone by pick 3, hence we just go the best available.

So when do we make a play for high enough picks to get one? Maybe we should be trying to secure a top 3 pick for next year. Sure as eggs we aren’t winning another flag until we get an elite midfield. Won’t matter how good our CHB is.

Haha he can be yours too mate, the Tyson Stengle fan club

 

[FAITH]

I mean he took gallucci so big H isn't always right.
Poor guy probably won't even take McAsey, so probably just wait til we go off til Wednesday night

 

[Mutineer]

I only ever really liked Stengle as rookie in his draft year, still not convinced he's the answer unless he improves the pressure side of his game which is an absolute requirement for his role in the modern game. Now Eddie's not there he really must step up to the plate this season if he's ever going to be thought of as permanent best 22 player.

None of our opinions matter, otherwise we wouldn't be posting on BF.

But for example the majority on here wanted berry or English couple years back, but big H took gucc, so he does get it wrong.

 

[Brett Cummings]

I am Mick and I think you'd be surprised.
Keath is a KPD that intercepts.
Young is a medium running back that intercepts.

anyone that wants hartigan in the side should be laughed at.

You've put the line through Gallucci already?

I agree he's been generally underwhelming but he does show flashes at times that make you think there's a decent player in there somewhere.

2020 is his chance to shine or he's in trouble IMO, much the same applies with Poholke.

No I haven't, but like you I luved berry that year or English if berry was taken.
Had gucc as 2nd rounder.

I'm just saying recruiters don't always know better than die hard draft followers.

 

[Brett Cummings]

You cant take mcasey over young if he's still there at 6. no way lol. haggis has always said they draft for talent and not needs with their first picks.

Agreed on Gallucci, but he's really got to stamp himself this year. Think it's as a half-forward/wing or bust. I personally think he'll request a trade if he doesn't get a ton of game time, some club will take a chance on those flashes he's shown

Honestly, as much as I liked his selection in his draft year, I think Poholke's days are numbered

 

[Viva la Mattner]

One that’s mentioned around our pick is Bianco - looks like he could be a good pick up
Thoughts Mutineer ?

 

[Danger in Texas]

Fox Sports has us taking McAsey too

Seems like a given at this point unless a club like the Hawks, Power or Cats trade up

 

[MRB37]

Latest Fox Footy mock has us taking McAsey at 6, with Stephens slipping to Port at their first pick.

I think we'd be going for McAsey because we know De Koning won't be there at our second pick.

 

[Mutineer]

Very good skills, plenty to like but he is one player I'd have some reservations about with the "go home" factor.

I think he'll be likely off the table by our 2nd pick.

 

[Viva la Mattner]

I think we go for midfielder at 6
De Konig could and should hopefully be there
Geelong biggest threat to take him

A little early to say it's a given.
This time last year did they predict we'd take Jones or Caldwell?
