[HARKER]

Changing mine from, Dow..Fogarty & Miers to:

#3 -- Dow. As far as a fit is concerned, he seems to be the best suited. Cerra hard not to like here though.
#10 - Clark. Don't think he'll be here at 10, but...... If not then a slider. (Fogarty or Stephenson?) Coffield would be a bonus.
#30 - Houlahan. Another type we haven't got and may be available here. SOS liked Hayward last year and a goal-kicker wouldn't go astray.

Sticking with this from Wednesday. That's it.

Okay so draft day. My 3rd and final go at this all things considered.

3. Paddy Dow

I feel SOS would know exactly what Paddy thinks about coming to Carlton. Nobody is shifting off this pick so I don't believe we are taking a risk with his North romanticism.

Contested ball getter who can burst from a stoppage is something we are missing. Also has no questions over his desire. Works well in traffic and evades tacklers while waiting for his runners to come. A natural feel for the game. I have steadfastly wanted LDU for the last couple of months and it will be hard to pass him up but I think we have a team balance strategy at play here. Dow is also ranked #1 by a few teams.

10. Lochie O'Brien

Will be tough if DFog, Clark or Coffield fall here but again I think there is strategy at play.

LOB is an outside runner with a huge tank, line breaking ability and one of the best kicks in the draft. Long and accurate and he spots up some very tight options very well. Does try to take some low percentage options occasionally but that will be erased following some basic team rules and game plan.

The strategy part aside from pace and ball use is he is a teammate of Dow at the Bendigo Pioneers. It will help both settle in well and may even help us reclaim a piece of the hearts and minds of our former heartland. Not a bad thing as we set to rejuvenate our membership numbers.

30. Joel Garner

Was seriously looking at Jordan Houlahan here as a high flying medium forward is a need as well. However, I could see us opting for Garner who is a great leader and a real talker on field.

A midfielder who is a good kick and has even been described as having some x factor. He has settled into the half back line this year and found his best form. The versatility is an attraction.

Also consider Petruccelle or McPherson here.

who are you people?

We picked up 3 Bendigo Pioneers in the end. Taking Schumacher cements my theory that we are trying to win over our former zone again.

 

[Lace_Out]

Dow, O'Brien, De Koning.

How'd I go?

I noticed today there was a De konning in 1980's somewhere on a club list.
Anyone remember him and any relation ?

His father played with Footscray from '80 - '82.

Thanks mate for quick reply. So the dude was spared Micky Malthouse years. Lucky him.

 

[footyfan1978]

Was he also a ruckman ?

 

[Kismet]

I've only seen that he was a Kent position player, but even though I'm old enough, don't remember him.

Yeah, do not remember him either. Just seen the surname in a list of players born in 1961 that played VFL footy and figured with hearing that name for us drafted , that likely was some relative. Did not know was father and son was the relationship till your pointed it out here.

Just looked up his stats from 1981 and 82 seasons on AFL Tables.
Looks like he was a back up ruck type going on stats. He had 19 hit outs in round 1 of 1981.
Looks like Hampshire was no1 ruck and probably was the back up ruck on bench many games and probably used sparingly.

Maybe their version of our David Honybun.

 

[HARKER]

No winners. Sorry. Come back next year.
