Re: Selection 61 - ???????

One more pick to go. Liam Patrick is still around, any chance?


Iles is still here too, will Burgan get this one right?

TALL PLAYERS ARE THE FUTURE! No one will be able to reach the ball when they play us

Re: Selection 61 - James Craig

James Craig - 195cm

So much for a draft where the talls suppsedly sucked - we've gone and grabbed 4 of them!

Wasn't keen on the idea of taking him with our 2nd pick, but he's probably the best available at #61 so no problems here.

Spot on Macca! Do you want a medal or a showbag?

So Burgatron only got one pick right for us? Not counting Brodie.

 

[cmndstab]

Re: Selection 61 - James Craig

Seriously though, people will complain because we went tall again but Craig at 61 is a fantastic pick. This guy is another McKernan.

 

[KUNG FU]

Re: Selection 61 - ???????

Great value here. Even with his vert leap I can't see him being a ruckman, but he'll be a real chance to make it as a KPD. His repeat sprints were quality.

And he tipped us to nab Craig with our 2nd... he fell all the way to our 4th.

Re: Selection 61 - James Craig

This dude leaps higher than any ruckman in draft camp history other than Naitanui. I'll bet they introduce him as a second ruckman.

Should be a KPP, can't see him making it as a ruck unless he puts on 5 cm.

Re: Selection 61 - James Craig

Best tap ruck in the champs. Well, at the draft.

A little bit of a tweener but at this pick, bargin!

Ryder rucked well at 197cm this year. If Craig's got such a massive vertical leap, I can't see why he wouldn't be able to play ruck. I'm sure he can jump 10cm higher than a lot of ruckmen in the league, who will be about 5-10cm taller than him.

Re: Selection 61 - James Craig

Interesting that Craig said on 5AA that James is "around Maric's height". Surely he would know that Maric is not 195cm?
