I'm one that thought using early picks on Kelly and Ryan would be a mistake. Was wrong on ryan and oscar Allen would want to be very good to be better than Kelly, because imagine replacing Masten with Kelly makes me feel funny

We also need to remember that Allen has 4-5 years on Kelly, hopefully he is a good longer term investment in the years to come
 
Dislike both teams but can't stand the way Dangerflop acts as though he's been shot everytime someone touches him so go Hawks.

Given waterman plays the same role and has shown enough you wonder how they will all fit
They won't, I mean Kennedy could well go on for 3 more years. Which means we could have Kennedy, Brander, Darling, Waterman & Allen all trying to fit into 2-3 positions (and that's assuming M. Allen leaves for more opportunity) come 2020. If O Allen doesn't work out as a midfielder then it's a massive balls up.

Best available brah

I doubt Kennedy plays for another 3 years though.
 
He may end up being as good or better but it's a long wait when have Kelly would have fit our age profile perfectly fine

Very true, but it is what it is now. Let’s hope we look back on it and 10 years and laugh about how Kelly burst on the scene, but Oscar Allen is about to play his 200th game! :thumbsu:
 
The only way this works out well for us imo is if Allen does end up being a good midfielder, otherwise all we've done is create a logjam in our forward line.
I can't work out the logic of our recruiters. Losing Mitchell and Priddis from the midfield and picking 2 talls with our first pick. I say the person who made this decision should be given a 'please explain.' I would have pulled the trigger on Kelly on our second pick and would not have been disappointed if he was our first pick seeing as our midfield is our weakest link. We need an inside bull. I don' know why our recruiters are so blind. Seriously are we happy with Masten Gaff and Redden to continue running through there?
