You can’t lump every slow player with an iffy kick with Matt a Crouch though. That boy knows how to find it like no other. Hately doesn’t strike me as that kind of accumulator.

Happy to agree to disagree here, only time will tell on this one. For what it’s worth, I hope we are both right!
Cover more basis that way
Well according to BF, Hatley is not much of anything:
Can't kick
Can't run
Can't get hold of the footy.
Maybe he'll get lucky and get picked up in the rookie draft.

Not many think that way. One or two I think. Most have him just outside top 10.
For me I have him about 13 and I’d take him before Clark. That’s a fair rap as far as I’m concerned. I would take him expecting him to be a ripper in the same vein as Milera, Smith, Doedee, Lever, Fogarty etc. We haven’t missed with a pick like that for a long, long time.

And SANFL is quite a lot quicker then TAC, but that doesn’t stop people comparing Hately with guys who have been playing all season against schoolboys

Suspect we meet in the middle. It's what I've been predicting for a while.
AFC (8+16+21) for GC (3+24)
Net result:
AFC: 3, 13, 24
GC: 2, 6, 8, 16, 21, 29
Imagine that draft hand regardless of what we have now. It's sensational.
It's no coincidence we have 4 top 21 picks this year, we must want one or two of these guys bad.

This simply re-inforces that clubs DO Draft for needs, even in the first round
“It was a game-changer because (three years later) the board felt quite embarrassed by it all and thought ‘something needs to change here and we’ve got to let the recruiting manager and recruiting team have a far greater say (in drafting)’.”
Fantasia said the club interviewed Angwin formally three times and informally on another six occasions in the lead-up to the 2000 draft.

Crows officials knew there were some question marks over Angwin’s off-field commitment but they were not enough to sway the club from selecting him.
“We were fairly desperate for that key forward/ruck, Rehnny was about to leave and (Angwin) was easily the best kid for his size who could play both those roles,” Fantasia said.
“Laurence far exceeded Kane Cornes with his natural talent and potential … but there was no doubt he had a high risk, whereas Kane had little risk at all in our view.”
Did you even read the article??!
You claim that it supports your view that clubs draft for need, not best available, by looking back 18 years ago when we picked the higher talented kid?????
That is literally the opposite of what you are arguing

Our draft from hell that year. Our picks could have had all of Burgoyne, Kornes Drew Petrie. Instead we picked ???This simply re-inforces that clubs DO Draft for needs, even in the first round

Not sure if this board has ever overrated a 17 disposal 2 mark player as much as Greenwood.
And don't say yeah but he tackles a bit. Tackling is what mids do when they're standing next to the ball but get to it last. Mids getting tackle stats is easier than back flankers getting cheapies on the way out
Not always but that's where you do your shopping for a Dusty, Hodge, Buddy, Pendlebury, Gaff etc.
I.e. guys with elite game winning attributes who can kick
Collingwood
A good friend of mine believes we are highly keen on tom sparrow as a later pick
I posted this a few weeks ago but last night he backed this in again.. same person told me we had strong interest in doedee
In his opinion he believes we wont trade up the draft and will pick the best availible dispite what state the player comes from. He told me dont be suprised if we get one of the Kings
Next off the ranks, i beleive 2 clubs have shown interest in Grigg Port & Bulldogs but its unlikely he will leave the Redlegs due to his fathers health

baby back Bibs
Debutant
This might have been the only way to get Burton away from the draft room...
It’s also possible we had someone else in mind and balked at having to foot the cost ourselves.

Not sure if serious
Greenwood has shown loads of promise given where he's come from, his lack of fitness and AFL experience. I think people are judging him on that and expecting a linear rise. It will be interesting to see how he goes next season.
We don't have a late pick until 70 odd though right?

If we end up getting a King does that mean we wont have a crack on Williams?
Because I'm excited in my special place for Williams right now.

Friday could be very interesting too.
We are in a great position with pick 21. I think it is the first pick on Friday which means we have all night to field offers from teams that want a certain player at 21.
We could end up swapping it with a team like the dogs
We could end up doing something like pick 21 for 27 and 32

Easily. ................As previously stated IMO he is a step up from Dougy, Dougy to SANFL, Jacko into his role of HF provides another link option with Lynch plus loves a tackle

Thats what I think about Jarman issue is. A lot of air, on top of a few burgers, pies and pizzas.
Is he working for Balfours or Haighs

He has had a lot of meets
