Really a pointless conversation as he wont be available at 69. If he were available at 32, no doubt we'd take him
Point taken but during the U18 champs in 2013, there were comments made about the quality and the depth of the KPP pool in this years draft. So yes expect growth but there was a strong flavour that 2013 Draft was to get midfield and 2014 would give you more KPP. Hadn't heard much this year.

Knightmare has moved Blakely up to 7 in his power rankings, thoughts on him for our first pick?
Personally I like Blakely, but there doesn't seem to be much support for him here. I am not surprised that he is moving up the rankings. A genuine midfielder too who gets a lot of the ball and has proven himself at league level. I wouldn't be unhappy picking him up at #11, he won't be there at #32.

I like Blakely but he is not offering the point of difference we need - quickness. In that light, I would not go for him. Someone will get a good footballer in the later teens to early twenties. I would believe we need to put a high value on pace and extraction speed.
I don't see why we would be interested in Blakely with our first if we've already got a similar player and "one of the best mids in the draft" in Waterman.
How would drafting Blakely effect our vanilla midfield in any way shape or form? He's big bodied, like Waterman, but what other damaging traits could he possibly bring? He's not a line breaker nor does he have match winning ability or X factor. Average speed, not polished. Just a work horse and yet another midfielder to sit behind Priddis in the food chain.
I will point out however i don't know a great deal about him apart from what i've read and watched so all that could be bollocks ^

cockatoo it is.
If Waterman was one of the best mids in the draft then someone would have bid on him. The fact no one did speaks volumes.
At some point someone will overtake Priddis. Just because Ebert, Shuey, Masten etc all failed doesn't mean someone else can't succeed.

Havent heard much about him but apparently he's a nice kick with good pace.
That sums up Priddis perfectly
i think he will be in our calculations for our 2nd /3rd picks for sure.strong bodied mid been playing seniors for a while I think.If we get pickett or cockatoo with our first then gore could definitely be in the mix with out 2nd

He's being underrated on this board. I'd say his pace is very nice.
