There will only ever be one great #46... Valintino Rossi... The DoctorI’d love Garcia at 46
I dont have much faith in undersized mids. The fact he has done an ACL doesnt make him that appealing either.Will it?
Why?
Parto was 181cm (boots 183cm). hardly undersizedIsn't Garcia the undersized inside mid? It will be Partington all over again.
I think Parto suffered more from not being that good as opposed to being undersized.Parto was 181cm (boots 183cm). hardly undersized
Yep.I think Parto suffered more from not being that good as opposed to being undersized.

Do they normally take their boots off before getting measured?Parto was 181cm (boots 183cm). hardly undersized
Garcia is skilled, Partington wasn’t.
No one on here had talked partington up prior to the draft or expressed interest in us getting him.seemed like a bit of a meh pick at the timeI don't recall Partington being a shock selection when we drafted him with the pick we used, is this year's draft so much better than Partington's year that someone tipped to go in the 40s (?) is better than Partington in the 20s(?)?
Or are we just making stuff up?
Think it’s the injury that makes people think Garcia will slideI don't recall Partington being a shock selection when we drafted him with the pick we used, is this year's draft so much better than Partington's year that someone tipped to go in the 40s (?) is better than Partington in the 20s(?)?

I strongly believe Garcia would go around where Parto did had he not hurt his knee; perhaps earlier. And I’d say Parto was proven a bit of a reach.I don't recall Partington being a shock selection when we drafted him with the pick we used, is this year's draft so much better than Partington's year that someone tipped to go in the 40s (?) is better than Partington in the 20s(?)?

Partington was seen as a wise selection at the time. He was a balanced midfielder and had performed at the SANFL level in his draft year which is a pretty good indication they will make it. I think Parto was unlucky to be out of contract at the end of 2017 and so was probably a mixture of wrong place wrong time and our midfield development at East Perth was pretty poor.I don't recall Partington being a shock selection when we drafted him with the pick we used, is this year's draft so much better than Partington's year that someone tipped to go in the 40s (?) is better than Partington in the 20s(?)?

I don't think questioning Parto's skills is 'bagging' him. Merely an observation.It’s a thing to bag Partington once Simmo decided Parto wasn’t a player that deserved a few AFL games to develop his craft ..

ThanksFactor in that our first choice midfield dodged injury pretty much through 2018 (and 2019)
Who are the 5-10 players that we might potentially take? Or that this board wants us to take? I realise it’s almost impossible to guess but I though some direction would be helpful before I begin reading up on the draft.
Cheers.
