Not as strange as bumping this thread to talk down a bloke who's been off the injury list for about 6 weeks in the last two years. Not sure how anyone could have a well-founded opinion either way, or why a non-North fan would be so interested in being 'proven right' in such a meaningless way...

the main issue is why opinions you don’t like aren’t allowed.
you seem awfully invested in something you also call meaningless

Brad or Matt Crouch, as we have Bytel, Clark & Steele there, don't believe we need their type. Or to part with big cash & high draft picks for them.

Bruhn I think
Perkins > Bruhn
In fact, if Perkins isn't called out at our 1st pick (assuming we don't trade up), i won't be impressed.

Very likely Perkins will be available.
Good talent but clearly a step below the top 7.
Im cool with this.
of the players we have access to i rank him 1st priority.
then 2 of Reid, Cox & O'Driscoll.
Want a player who has that ability to impact games
Then a KPD (Reid or Cox).
Then either the other KPD, or go a big inside mid like O'Driscoll (We could trade down here. Pick 8 into 16 & Pies F1 for example)

Lovell, Hartung and Garlett.
A bit mean to put Lovell and Hartung in the same category as Garlett. At least Lovell and Hartung are not in prison right now after going on a meth fuelled crime spree.

Haha look, this is true. I also know this isn't a retrospective thread. I just needed to mention these 3 in particular because the position we find ourselves in right now could be far different had we nailed those 3 picks at the time.
I feel as though Hawthorn have a bit of a free swing in this draft. Thillthorpe looks to be the one with the biggest capacity to be a bit of a bust, but he absolutely suits our needs. He could become a David Hale type at best and still be incredibly beneficial to our next decade. Aside from him, anyone else we get at 4 looks like a genuine chance of being a star.
We also have an outside runner coming in as an academy player (Downie) to go with our acquisition of Tom Phillips. So there is an area basically already addressed before the draft even takes place.
Our number 1 need IMO is X-factor and class through the midfield. Hollands is ideal in that case. Phillips certainly a great prospect as well.
Looking forward to draft night.

A ruckman.
Entering the draft so late and with what looks to be just one pick you can’t be too choosey but I’ve got fingers, toes and all else crossed for no ruck

This is the dangers of listening to Bigfooty "experts". I've done a lot of growing up since this post, fortunately.
Regardless, Miller was gone at our pick (I think) and Maynard is the best small defender in the league

My first post in this thread was Clem Smith.... we took him and I was proven right
With pick 25, I do not want a player coming off a long term injury or a project player.. We need players that can step straight in and push for selection. Also no half back flankers or HFF that can become midfielders..
