The other I really like is Zak Johnson but he would be a massive reach at 11/12. If we had a pick in the mid 20s I'd love us to pick him, I think he's got enormous potential.

I've watched a few Hotton vids, and I have to say I'm a little underwhelmed. He's athletic, and looks to work hard defensively, but he's mostly outside from what I've seen, his kicking is not great and he makes has some issues with his decision making at times.
Maybe I've watched the wrong videos? I've seen someone compare him to Chris Judd, but I haven't seen anything like that. He moves well, but his skills are lacking a little. Is this a high ceiling thing based on his attributes?

It that I think we will get the picks but surely if we were to get a hand like this, one would bet a KPD3 inside 25
11 Travaglia
12 Hotton
25 Hannaford
Thanks my picks and “I think” I’m sticking with it

One of the phantom guys on the Drafts board saw Judd apparently. What football attributes did you see that I didn't?

Also a dumber footballer than Hotton imo. Both good players in their own rights

I like Hotton. Just can't see us using our first pick on a player coming off an ACL, given our recent injury history.

Must say I’m warming to Hannaford. Versatile with a hard edge. Like a more talented Fogarty who kicks goals.
Trainor and Hannaford I would be very happy with.

dont have many dreams nor do i usually remember them but i had one where we selected trainor last night for some reason, so im going with it
Hotton is nothing like Judd obviously. Hotton is not an inside midfielder but would play more around fringes of clearance. With the game becoming more open and more space around the contest his acceleration and agility, out and away from the contest would be invaluable.
The player that runs through my mind when l watch Hotton is Shai Bolton. I think there athleticism and movement\evasion have similarities.
Hottons disposal didn’t look to bad for mine.

Hotton will probably start as a forward. I wonder if he could provide us similar to what Berry could early but with the added scope of being able to eventually play midfield.

I worry about Hotton because of the knee injury. Didn't his brother also have a significant knee injury? It be concerned that there is some genetic predisposition to similar ongoing injuries.
That said, I have no medical knowledge, but did once sit in a GP's waiting room with an ex-AFL listed player.

Trainor is “on the nose” because of concussion issues. Should be top five discussion. High risk/reward factor at play, but is the type of kid who could play very early if we took the punt.
So difficult to assess. Could be a steal, could be a medical retirement in waiting?????
Hasn't he only had 2 concussions? Not ideal but could just be bad luck
If that doesn't become an issue I reckon he's a pretty safe bet to become a decent player. Dominated the academy vfl game which is really promising as a tall.
It is such a scary risk these days.
Tauru every time I watch him rises in my thoughts. He might be my bandwagon player coming into this draft and could play that Trainor role without the current concussion risk.

Not a doctor.
But not all concussions are the same.
It would depend on medical assessment, including what his post concussion symptoms were like.
If the doctor is basically saying, another knock and you might be effectively disabled for life, that's a pretty serious problem

Not only how bad they are, but how easily they occur for a certain player too.
Some have 'glass jaws', others have hard heads like Selwood.

It's a thing in combat sports.
Some link it to neck strength and absorbing impact, but in a 360 sport that doesn't really matter because you won't necessarily be able to brace for contact

A while ago, there was someone floating a helmet on SEN that was better designed for concussion prevention.
Suit him up. Be silly not to. Xerri was a facial injury and he continues to don the lid (which prob just protection vs concussion).
I can’t speak to Berry’s football IQ, only seen highlights. But I reckon you may be undervaluing Rozee a bit here.
That being said, I do like Hotten’s vision and special awareness from the limited viewing I’ve seen.
You seem to have watched a fair bit of u/18 stuff, any players that stand out as playing with high intensity and energy? Particularly mid or forward? Think Warner, Papley, JHF, butters, Bolton, Pickett, McCreery, Jones, Rankine.
These are the types we just don’t seem to have.

What do we make of Riley Bev stating that Cooper Hynes in on our radar at #11?
Tactical statement?
Looks a good size at 1.90m with some burst and power.
Is he a mid?

Isn't that why we took Gibbs instead of Sellwood?
From the limited footage I've seen, I like the cut of Tauru's jib. Hits the ball hard at every contest, which I'm a big fan of, and I reckon Vossy as well.
We could do worse than to take Berry/Lindsay and Tauru with our first two picks if we can jag the 1st rounder from GCS.
