Review 2023 National Draft Review Thread II [McKercher, Z.Duursma, Goad, W.Dawson, Hardeman, Maley]

[Sphynx]

So we potentially offered Duursma, Goad, Dawson and Hardeman for Reid.

Now let that sink in for a minute now they are names.

My picks when we were on the clock. 4 out of 5. Wrong ruck.

Colby McKercher
Zane Durrsma
Mitchell Edwards
Will Dawson
Riley Hardeman

I'm happy. If only we got Wilson though.

I picked our top 5 in the b&f in correct order to.

Lets wait for Terry Wallace to grade us before we write this draft off

I see your Terry Wallace and raise you a Gary Buckenarra.

This Hardeman kid is great. What a character.

Big fan already. Seems a ripper kid!

Well it’s why you need to back the recruiters rather then getting emotional after watching a 2 min highlights package. He’s clearly got red flags, which the highlights package doesn’t reflect,

 

[The Talent Scout]

No-one picking Collard, this is mind blowing has to be the, prefer to be near family reason.

You can be pretty confident we've done ok if that's the case.

Are you saying there is more to recruiting than just counting up the votes of the BF posters and drafting accordingly?

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Great haul.

Number of phantom draft links to NM:

5x - Kerch, Duurs
4x - n/a
3x - Hardeman, Dawson
2x - DeMattia, Green, Edwards
1x - Schoenmaker, Collard, Zakostelsky

So for those of us in the Curtin cheer squad, I think at this stage we've gotta accept its only a very outside chance we get our man.

With Dawson and Hardeman shaping up as the most likely among the end of first rounders, it'll be interesting to see whether the club opts to service a different position with the third pick.

With that in mind, I'm a bit surprised at how little representation Collard has had, given that "forward pressure" has been one of the key recurring themes of our needs.

Its also interesting that rucks feature in four out of the five phantom drafts. Has Clarko ever taken a ruck in the first round before?

So to doff me cap at the pundits, 4 of the 5 selections were evident from phantom drafts.

time to update thread title mods

[hellas_johnny]

[Kanga Glory]

Gold coast is going to be a team full of locals, they don't need to have recruitment team all their picks are locals

 

[TurnoverMerchant]

That’s not sooking mate. It’s called fact.

One of his strengths is kicking. I’d say it’s his greatest strength. You clearly don’t watch him. Jog on.
