Hate seeing us losing and the draft isn’t totally the panacea that some think.To add to the injury crisis that has been thrown at Yze to start his career, the AFL website has an analysis of all the teams fixtures from Opening Round to Round 11, then through the bye rounds, then rounds 16-20.
Opening Round to Round 11: 3rd hardest draw
Bye rounds: 11th hardest draw
Rounds 16-20: Hardest draw
So while we may well get our best players back on the field for the games after the bye we'll face the hardest draw in that 5 week period and with us currently 2 games behind 16th it could very well mean that we're picking 2nd in the draft come November as well.
But, it will be great to finally have the chance to select a player or 3 in the upper echelon of the draft.
