Joe Berry actually sounds like he would add something to our mediocre collection of small to medium forwards. Same with Hotton.

With the loss of Clurey and Kyle Marshall we really need a KPD as well.
 
For me there is Armstrong, Shanahan, Trainor in the top tier. Then there's Barrat and Sims a rung below them (I rate both probably higher than most), then there's Faull, Whitlock x 2 etc. in the mid range area.

I think we have a good chance at Barrat and Sims being available around our 2nd & 3rd pick.
Interesting - agree on the top three.

I’d have the Whitlocks next, although more on potential and do worry they don’t have the killer instinct similar to the Kings. What do you like about Sims?

Allan is the other interesting one. Can’t put my finger on why but something suggests he could become the player of this draft.

Not getting the Lindsay criticisms, if there at 13 Id have no issues picking him, pretty safe bet at that point, be surprised if he slips to 13.

His inside work is alright, has good pace, spreads well, his handball is very good, tackles hard, reads the taps well, can breakaway from the clearance alright, very good aerobically.

What I dont like - lacks composure, poor decision making, poor kick targets matched with ordinary kick execution. He has a Nathan Lonie/Jay Nash thing where his kick looks technically good, but his kicks often dont retain possession. Kicks to contests too much, doesnt look for better options enough…and that is the main part i dont like. His uncontested disposals dont retain possession enough and with his style that should be his bread and butter. Is greedy within 55m of goal.

Is it fixable? Probably, but in the 8 or 9 times
Ive watched him, ive left feeling frustrated in all bar one of them. Why did he kick there? Why didn’t he hit that easy target? Why is he not kicking to the advantage of the leading forward inside 50? Why is he kicking long on the head of someone for an easy spoil when he had free players inside?

As it stands, I just have too many question marks over him compared to the other big name mids in this draft. Not the end of the world if we draft him though
 
I think we've all assumed the Crows will take him at pick 4/5 (if Carlton don't get in first)

Sorry, i meant for pick 1. My post didnt make that clear though

Sims - competitive, great in the air, agile, can take a contested grab and get seperation on the lead, neat kick, can ruck, looks dangerous, brings the ball to ground. He could be very good

The Whitlocks…i dunno. They are like tall Pittard. For every good thing they do there is also something that makes you shake your head and go what the ****. Big boom/bust potential. Could be great. Could never play a game

Sounds like Ken would love him.
