Why has everyone gone off Humphrey ??

I think it's mainly due to his kicking. He's still my number one choice for our pick and it's mainly because of his upside. Yes he's a bad kick but I do think he'll improve, but his athleticism and the way he bounces through and around traffic is elite. We need more players that can do this and break the game open. Even if his kicking never becomes good, he'll still have the ability to spend half the game in the forward line as a real dangerous target, then being injected into the midfield to change the pace of the game.

I think it's time we start taking some big risks with our early picks especially considering we were very conservative last year.

We need wardlaw

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

We need wardlaw

We need all of Wardlaw, Tsatas, Cadman, Sheezel, Humphrey and Clark.

Essendon wouldn't go Humphrey surely? Tsatas wouldn't get past the Suns I'd imagine but there's hoping. MacKenzie still my want.

Can't see Tsatas sliding to us. No chance.

 

[HawksILove]

I can see Essendon picking up MacKenzie or Humphrey

 

[daniel23]

Goldcoast surely won't take a metro kid like tsatas if he is a slight flight risk. If north don't take him every chance he gets to us.

I think someone like ginbey or Clarke would appeal to goldcoast.

Rumour was they were looking at Busslinger as a key back.

Geelong really don't have any way of upgrading their pick 7 now to try and get Clark

I don’t think they’ll have to worry to be honest

I’d be making abit of noise about taking him then slide back for 7 and 33

Port have 33?

Cats don't really have anything but pick 7 58 64 this year and pick 18 next year (which they can't trade)

Geelong don't have 33 do they? Their second pick is 58.

 

[Burtman]

Yep my bad, forgot the ratagulea trade didn’t go through

 

[Billyc]

Hanging out hope for Tsatas (either somehow at 6 or to slide down if Essendon/GC prefer others). Good arguments for any of Mackenzie, Clark, Phillipou and Humphrey.

 

[Billyc]

Essendon will take either Tsatsas or Clark. Mahoney said yesterday they want a midfielder. I think it will be Clark. If that happens. Hollands will go to GC and Tsatsas to Hawthorn.

If GC wanted Hollands (and I can understand the reasoning given their record of keeping players), you'd think they'd trade back.

[TheFourPillars]

Can't see that summary mate?

 

[pushintheback]

yep fair point, but a little risky as well as he's around the 10 mark. From GCs pick 6 what falls behind is no great difference imo. Just a gut feel they will take him with #6. There are always bolters and he could be one.

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

Does bringing in Cooper Stephens change who we take with our 1st I wonder?

Doubt it. Think we will go best available regardless (ie not positional).

 

[dermott]

Bruhn,Cameron and Dangerfield all say hi!

Geelong seems to be an exception to the rule and there will always be exceptions. Nevertheless they prefer Vic Country to Vic Metro.

 

[ShoveYourCOLA]

Good, **** em

 

[hfc70]

I reckon McKenzie will be our best option.



(purely based on my in depth analysis from the draft board)

 

[ShoveYourCOLA]

Assuming all the obvious choices are taken, I say we should select Clark just to duck with Geelong
