Yeah I struggle to see the need for classy midfielders too. We should only need 5 in a team, thats it. Fill the rest of the 22 with average footballers, that will win us heaps of games.He'll be good to watch, but I just struggle to see the need for more players like him.

I wasn't aware that Zac Clarke and Joel Houghton were Midfielders/Flankers. But thank you for making me aware of this.We've been recruiting solely midfielders and flankers since 2007.
Cheers for that. I too think that Crozier is a good get.Great pick, along with Ellis to Richmond this is one of my favourite picks from the draft.
One day you'll have Hill, Fyfe, Morabito and Crozier running around in the same midfield which will be like watching the Harlem Globetrotters.
Is his weight considered very light even for a kid? 68kg at 185cm to me seems to be battling.
Good one, Brades. Two. We're really replacing those imminent retirements.
I guess you must be looking forward to getting Zac Dawson
You know he'll do it..
We haven't missed too many bigs that have become effective though have we?
Aside from Darling, name me 3 other bigs we should of taken?
Kersten? Oh wait, we don't like his 'attitude', something reigning premiers Geelong didn't seem to mind.
Other options:
Hurley instead of Hill
Butcher instead of Morabito.
I mean, you can argue Hill and Morabito have shown more so far, but when we have situations of putting Grover on the opposition's second tall, or bringing in a seriously unfit Faulks to play Collingwood - or having Mayne as our full forward - it says there's something seriously wrong with our key position depth.
I would be waiting to see Kersten play at a higher level than colts footy before jumping the gun
Are you honestly trying to say that we should have overlooked Hill or Morabito?
I'm saying that at some point our drafting strategy should have looked at filling important positions with promising talls. Any time. We've had five goes at it. A future AA quality tall would have been great. Most good clubs can get one after five attempts.
My fav's heading into the draft were Sumner, Crozier and Buntine.
Crozier is basically a love child of Fyfe/Hill. Great speed, great leap, good goal sense and has great tricks. Lightly framed, good height and immense potential, it's basically a prerequisite for Fremantle these days. Very Astute pick.
I'm liking the fact we picked Forster who is SA's version of Buntine. Sheridan and his mate Lachie Neale will be great additions to the team. Alway's makes transition easier if your good mate comes across with you.
Overall very happy with the draft.
