He was a reach because he was projected 7-10 and was taken at 3.

At pick 3 you take best available of which he was not and will never be.

He is not a complete bust but he wont be All Australian either.

The mention of O'Rourke brings chills to the spine. How he fooled both us and Hawthorn is beyond me. Group 1 Spud.

Marchbank was a reach as he was taken pick 6 and projected to go 17-25 odd. At pick 6 you take the best available. He's not a complete bust but he won't be All Australian either.
 
Marchbank is rated extremely highly in footy circles, GWS will want a premium for him. Ideally pick 10-15 but obviously the Blues don't hold that pick.

Aren't you just adding to the criticism of Silvagni here?
 
That's the funny thing, people claiming his worth so much because he was a pick 6, well he wasn't actually that good.

Except when he was on the field as a first year KPD he was actually surprisingly good. I didn't have high hopes for him (thinking was similar - it was a reach, you don't take KPDs that high, etc), but he won me over in last year's games. He was very good compared to similar players at his position and age.
 
Did I read somewhere that his manager said today that interstate clubs were interested, too?

Just a matter of whether he's interested in them, which I'm not extremely confident of
 
He's heading to the Saints. A deal has already been agreed by both parties - therefore won't be nominating a club prior to Monday. The trade will comprise more than just Steele from GWS and none of this years picks.

Expect it to be done mid-week next week.
