It’s not known how many there are is that right?Trainor. Likely to slide out of single figures because of them.
We need quality midfielders. Getting the small forward to complement Weightman is also pretty high up the list but looking at the age of our midfield we have a big problem if we don't draft young mids over the next few draftsIt’s not known how many there are is that right?
Got enough 194cm defenders on our books already to be taking that risk if you ask me.
I know we are talking in potentially an alternate reality but seriously, Berry and Hannaford could really round out our list. If not Hannaford at 17, who else?Good post, trading 25 + future first for a pick that would get us Berry might be worth it. Fills an immediate need and so many clubs are on the lookout for that elusive small, quick forward. I can't see any clubs taking that trade, but the price feels about right in a normal draft.
Hannaford could be there at 17.
It's a hard one though, small forwards are so in vogue right now, meaning guys like Berry and Hannaford could go earlier than expected. And we desperately need young mids coming through.
Theres always less info of the players further down the list, be interesting to see if we look at a couple options with our later picks. Is this why people are talking about trading up or is that just the typical wanting new toys happening?
Kids drafted around 20+ usually take a few seasons before becoming regular best 22 players especially when talking about players who can come into the midfield. If you look forward 3 years or so which is what I usually do when thinking about players who are being drafted in one year then Libba and Treleor are retired most likely, Bont is 31, Kennedy 30 and then that leaves the under 30's group at that time being just being Richards and Sanders.I know we are talking in potentially an alternate reality but seriously, Berry and Hannaford could really round out our list. If not Hannaford at 17, who else?
we have a smidgen of the info that the club would obviously, but I just see Berry as a safe bet. Lock it away for 10 years along with the rest of our young forward line. I like that he gets up the ground too as Cody doesn’t really do that. Sam Power mentioned potentially trading up in the post trade period video the other day so its clearly being looked at. Again, it will come down to the price.
I dont see mids as a desperate need with Bont 29 next year, Richards emerging and Sanders looking for more minutes next year, not to mention Kennedy coming in. I still have plenty of faith in Sanders and he looks hungry to break in to the midfield.
Hotton is too good to pass up if he makes it to our pick. The ACL is a bit of a risk but it is worth it.Wizard17 What are your thoughts on Hotton by the way? I’m not sure if I’ve seen you say anything yet but perhaps I’d missed it
