Analysis What are your clubs biggest positional needs at the draft?

[KissKiss]

Don’t see many needs at all at the Lions just more depth

Key Position Defenders. Not much depth in that position behind Payne. And key forward depth is questionable - couple of ruck/forwards are there but they are still massive unknowns

 

[Dazb86]

KPD's

As I said we need Depth

 

[bird_man]

1. Midfielder with some pace
2. Key defender
3. Key forward/ruck

Obviously best availability comes down to who we end up with it is be very happy to cover all three bases

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

1. Bigger-bodied KPD
2. Another taller KPF, to go along with Max King

A lot of clubs wanting KPD’s it seems. A draft that’s pretty thin on them too.

If clubs want KPD's they should look at the two kids we delisted. Eyre and Brand. Both weren't too far off the production of top 10 draft pick Reid when they played next to each other at VFL level. If we hadn't overloaded our list with KPD, I'd have been happy to keep both.

We bid on Cody Brand at the draft, was hoping we’d get him. I wouldn’t mind chucking him a rookie spot.

Hasn't nominated apparently so yeah

 

[TheBigHorne]

1. KPF: Larkey is the only proven KPF on our list, some speculative players but I'd like some investment
2. Small forwards: Curtis looks good but nothing certain after that
3. KPD: McKay and Logue are nice but I'd like to stock up on depth

 

[Vindicater]

Essendon needed a gun midfielder and some small forward coverage.

Nailed it.

 

[Saintscomemarchingin]

The Saints nailed it
