all over again. We just love reaching. It never works out, we always think we are smarter than everyone else. So stupid.

2004 all over again

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

Recruiters pick who we think is best - not who pencil Cal or bigfooty experts think.

Notice how we're picking players that are highly competitive and have a bit of mongrel, funny that.

And also when we think other clubs might take them.

 

[_RT_]

From pick 3 to pick 15

But they got pick 45 as well.

I think we’re just scarred from how Matt Clarke went about things. We have to remember that this is a new national recruiter in charge who probably won’t burn our early picks

Berrys dad looks pissed off

Faull’s back has held him back, but a stuffed back in a key forward is a red flag.

Yeh, just like Charlie Curnow

 

[tiger_tough]

Calculating Cal said we were considering Allan @ 6

 

[Pattiger]

A bit early to go for a tall imo. Especially one who could have still been available with our later picks (and if he wasn't, there would still be other good talls to pick from).

Pick 24 will be traded for next year

 

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

All the kids in this draft are talented. Accept that as fact and be happy what we've got so far. I'm friggin rapt !

 

[Drunken Wookie]

love that we got hotton love it

 

[sanaya]

lalor, smillie & hotton were the 3 i was most hot on all year, faull i never really hopped on since i thought he would go after we'd already picked up a tall but am fine with the pick


draft has gone my way except for allan, but very happy otherwise

Who says he'd be available?

Francis Jackson written all over it

 

[mctiger33]

can we get Reid or Shanahan next ?

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

Well there goes bo..

 

[tiger_tough]

Before the draft 'our WA scout never misses.'
After we pass up Allan 'WTF are we doing'?

 

[Lsta062]

I’m kinda glad we didn’t go with Bo Allan after what we went through with Baker and Bolton this off-season tbh. We need a break from all that

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

From ABC blog.

 

[Willo_23]

Allan must be a mummy’s boy

 

[tigers12]

Armstrong to us maybe ?

changed my mind, never rated bo, kicking is a worry, doesn't get it enough ( )

Feels like we’ve gone early on some players who had a lot injury run. Hotton and Faul would have both been top 10 at some point this year.

Faull’s back has held him back, but a stuffed back in a key forward is a red flag.

We obviously knew there was a risk of them not being available at pick 18
