Craig talks about getting players to replace Hentshcel and even Fergus Watts. Makes sense but Craig is really open with th Crows draft.

Who do you think out of Meesen and Maric will play more next season? Craig seems to like them both.

intersting wat players do u think will be around for there picks? and who and why???

 

[sinepari]

Jarryd Allen, Tom Collier, Col Garland, Kurt Tippet, Ben Reid & Eric McKenzie are all chances at various stages of the draft. Definitely more too.

Where do you see Jarryd Allen going in the draft sinepari?

 

[sinepari]

Most likely 20-34. Maybe a chance for 15-20.

I have him 16-30 ranking wise.

where do u see reid going Sinepari? and who would be looking at him in your mind?

 

[sinepari]

Reid I also have in 16-30 category.

I haven't really done a phantom draft yet, only ranked them according to talent.

 

[crowsarethebest]

I bet that Craig will have a utility in there and Collier is a very appealing one. Also likes athletes.

 

[thenextbigthing1999]

reid and collier both have good versatlity and both can play either end of the ground would that help come draft day?

Crows need two things: A fast skilled midfielder and a strong KP, basically 2 of each. Which we go for with the first pick is anyones guess, may come down to best overall available, or best KP or best mid available whoever they have their mind set on. IMO go for best overall if the need is 50/50 which it is. Despite the losses thru Biglands, Clarke and Hentschel, we still need to stock up for the ageing midfield so we can't just ignore that. Drafting KP players for a quick fix in 2007 wont really work. But it seems Craig is leaning more to KP than midfielders atm....I'll back whoever he takes. A strong marking, hard leading CHF is what we really need, someone who really gives the forward line STRUCTURE, and a nice crumbing, good defensive forward would also be nice.

I'll be disappointed if they go for a ruck...I don't think they will we have plenty of options, they are the last thing we need atm.

Great Summary.....

Craigy will always take the best player available but it wouldn't surprise if 2 of the first 3 were KPPs.
