If i could refer you to the cheat sheet i made for Rohan, you'll notice that i also wouldn't mind the Goater selection.

Rohan's Cheat Sheet for our first pick

Step 1 - Select Johnson
Step 2 - If Johnson's gone, select Erasmus.
Step 3 - If both are gone, select Hobbs
Step 4 - If Hobbs is also gone, select Goater
Step 5 - Goater won't be gone, so uppercut yourself and read step 1-4 again.

 

[Off Tap]

Good call, be very wary of drafting inside midfielders that are not that flash by foot.

Has alarm bells and red flags all over the idea.

I get your point but he has near on the worst disposal by any of the midfielders. He makes Nat Fyfe look like Dean Kemp by comparison.

For an important 1st round selection I'd rather have someone who can hit the side of a barn.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Goater is not a shit kick or even an average kick! I watched him plenty and promise you the guy can kick!!!

I think he's more a Shuey type than a Yeo, he's explosive over 5-10m and has great skills.

Loved the article on the AFL about him, more than willing to head to Perth and has family there. Love the fact that we've interviewed with genuine interest (although I believe we'd interview most players in each draft), as if MJ is gone he's one I'd love.

I really think he's got heaps of development left, and will be some player at AFL level.

It’s probably time to start learning about the potential draftees.

Any favourites?

What are the views on Wanganeen-Milera?

Let me tell you a little story, about Angus Beef.

Some describe him as the best contested, clearance midfielder in this years draft.

Very quick, best kicking skills in the draft, skinny and not very good at winning contested ball. Wingman or hbfer at AFL level. Could go top 10, not making it past Ports 1st imo.

 

[Obeanie1]

Have to disagree with you hudson2006. Our KP players are shot with only Allen and HEdwards coming through. Considering it takes up to 5 years and 80 games for players to find their feet, we're in serious trouble with our big blokes.

Eagles are never in trouble with talls. Its the one are we draft and develop well in (bar Brander).

Forwards we have Darling, Allen and Waterman to hold down the next 4-5 years at least with Williams more of a FF than a 1st ruck.

Backline we have Barrass, HEdwards, Rothams as a 3rd tall, Gov for another couple and Jamison is doing well at CHB in the WAFL late last season.

Yes, I expect we will continue to draft talls every year.

One of Buzzo or Williams this year maybe.

You cant quote yourself to make a point, it doesn't work like that.

Are you mates with Sheldrick's dad by any chance?

My concern is what our team looks like in 3 years time with Kennedy, Darling, McGovern, Nic Nat all gone and Allen the only guy that looks AA capable.

 

[dajesmac]

If ROB said that he should be sacked

For greater context he was directly asked if the midfield was an area of focus this draft and he was non committal. So he could just be playing his cards close to his chest I suppose.

DS has fathered 43 children by my count so it’s likely he is Sheldrick’s dad

He is Sheldricks dad

Is he the guy with 7 BOGs in 9 games for Claremont?

I can and I will ya silly kent

Except Nic Nat last saw 70kg at 12 years of age...

 

[hbk2015]

Would we take Hobbs over MJ, if he was there at our pick?

 

[Chris_6678]

Sounds like a lot of teams are into Andrews and he could go earlier which is helpful for our ability to pick up a decent mid.

 

[hbk2015]

if we can get Sheldrick at 31 we run to the bank with it, Im going to cry if geelong at him at 32 or 34

 

[hbk2015]

Sounds like a lot of teams are into Andrews and he could go earlier which is helpful for our ability to pick up a decent mid.

Would not be surprised to see him go 4 to gws or 5 to gcs

 

[Chris_6678]

Yeah i think GCS would be wanting another Decent ruckman and ditto GWS.

 

[Eagle Wrath]

Except Nic Nat last saw 70kg at 12 years of age...

Yeah, I just found Nics weight was 93kg's back when drafted. They still play a similar game when in their rookie year though.

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

Wow. If Mac Andrews is 70kgs, thats a huge question mark on him being able to get his size up to compete in the ruck.

NN, Gawn, Grundy all around the 110kg. Putting on 40kg onto his frame is no certainty.

 

[SloppyJoe]

Mac Andrew reminds me of a young Nic Nat

He has a more natural kicking action than NN.
