Sheppard was a pretty legitimate HBF, I don’t recall much midfield potential. Duggan is probably the one we really hoped would be a mid and it didn’t pan out.
I don't think Sheppard was seen as a HB. It certainly took us time to settle him into that spot.
I’m sure he was a defender for East Fremantle. I remember some early wing games for WC, but a lot of time on the HBF too. It was a good few years until he was good in any position however.
I don't dispute that, but, i think that would offer something of a cautious tale, because it was clear as day that Chris was one of those kids that grew early and then found themselves out of their depth, strength wise, once they hit the AFL
For me the crux was, and still is, what is going on with our strength and condition. Because we have a very poor record of getting our kids bigger, and particularly, stronger. Unless they arrive at the club fairly well built by the time they get to us they start skinny, and stay skinny
Its long been an Achillies heel but thankfully, if the off season talk is be believed this area of our club is finally being revamped
Just on Masten.
IIRC he did try and bulk up to play an inside mid role at AFL but his frame and skeletal structure said ‘no’.
During his time with us Sam Mitchell said something along the line of ‘play to your strength’ which saw Masto resume normal service of run, run and run.

And you know this about Todd Nisbett how exactly?
We have no idea on how individual recruiters work - good, bad or indifferent.
From the outside we only see the results of the recruiting department as a collective
I get that people see him as a nepotistic appointment and that his father is somewhat on the nose. That said, Trevor Nisbett, despite arguably outstaying his welcome, has been a very successful CEO for a long time. It’s not beyond the realms of imagination that some of his knowledge has been passed down to Todd
With Todd involved last year we had a successful draft so I see no reason to panic that we’ll get a good result this draft with the picks we have
Maybe he is out of his depth, I have no idea. Nor do you
So maybe put the hatchet away unless you have clear evidence to support your opinion

Don't think it would put anyone off.
Enough of the Shep, Masten , Judd stuff, need a thread where people can go and carry-on about past players!

I still think Ginbey at 8 but really think the Eagles will be looking at Hewitt with pick 12 hes been training with the Eagles previously and was considered a top 5 pick half way through season until he got covid. WC know more than anyone how much that can disrupt a season.

If I knew the outcome on players selected and not veing too silly about it, this would be my ideal draft
8. Busslinger
12. Phillipou
20. Hewitt
26. Jones
Trade future third into this year and take broadbent in the 3rd round this.
The only hail Mary out of this lot is Hewitt lasting to 20

Was thinking similar. There doesn’t seem to be too many selections at our picks that we’d be melting over. Obviously we all have our preferences in here but it’s hard to see O’Brien stuffing up pick 8 touchwood

And the rebuild begins.

We have a really good draft hand, there will be very good options available with all our picks.
8, 12, 20 & 26.
The rebuild is about to be ramped up.

C'mon Keys, we can't even get information from the club on the length of the coach's contract - rumours and innuendo are all we have to talk about.
I’m thinking we look to trade a future 4th to pick up Broadbent from 40 onwards
Couldnt organise a root at a brothel if he had a blank cheque attached to his trousers

I’m going for the all WA kids draft, and I can with confidence say that I’ve only ever managed to pick one or two that WC actually pick. We really do need another Ruck so maybe one of those will be a tall, who knows, my 2 cents worth anyway.
Ginbey
Hewett
Allan

Would definitely add a lot of pace to the team, given that Bond007 has implied that we would have taken Cadman at 2 if he was going to be available, I wonder if we’ll be chasing another tall like Keeler or if we’ll just wait until next years draft, to chase a quality tall?
No,
then ginbey

I think it’ll be Busslinger or Ginbey, not both. Possibly one will already be gone by pick 8 and I’d be very surprised if either got through to 12
Feel like Hewett will still be there at 12 and hope we take him then as I don’t think he gets through to 20
