I'm beginning to wonder why no-one else has taken him but I'm going to have to take my 4th Blue in Cooper Lord
Handy player to come off the bench.
Polo Yerrup!
Apart from maybe 4 teams (including us) he would be best 22 IMO. A great selection.
That makes it the 25th Blue to be selected (27 if you count Martin and Kennedy from the guys we moved on). Bias aside, it shows we have a hugely talented list. Just have to make it count this year!
I had Harry in my hitlist and 'Lij was a no-brainer whom I selected because he is valid in at least 3 positions.Possibly also shows some navy blue bias. I've ended up with one Carlton player because they were either taken before me, or I just valued others higher at the spot.
We have a great list though. Pickings are getting very slim. I've looked at fitting another Blue in but just can't find one that fits ahead of others who are still left.
Needed a small defender, toss up between him and anotherThat’s the one. Amazing love child lasted this long
You baaastard!!I'm going young...very young....
No not the Young you're thinking of.
Leo Lombard young!

George H & Cooper were selected because they were what I considered 'Best Available' in that position at the time (probably because I left my Mid selection until late due to the 'Spine First' strategy).
Probably still Blue Tinted glasses but better than taking a fringe dweller from another team.
Cooper was on my list also - love to have included him on le bench.Please don't feel targeted. I had no idea who had who when I said it. I play devil's advocate a lot. I had interest in plenty of our fringe players, but later than what they were taken.

A bit harder to judge 'Fringe Player' these days but if you omit the swag of young players drafted that North, Richmond, West Coast etc. have been forced to play, then those players would slot straight into their sides.I had him down for a possible bench spot. If we are measuring real life, he is a fringe player for Carlton as well. Probably spot 21-23 so that all rings true. Other clubs also have a lot of players who fit into that fringe category, but have plenty of experience. Some of them we Carlton supporters don't watch as much, or appreciate while we are watching them.
I see Boyd, Fogarty, Moir, Lord, Cincotta, Motlop, Silvagni, and even Docherty as fringe in our side. Some will miss out.

BaaaaastardAlright, time to dip into last years draft: Harvey Langford.
Have a cuppa...I'll be 10-15.
