A big enough touch to use a first round pick on him?

A big enough touch to use a first round pick on him?
I think Twomey mentioned that Hewett may go in the twenties and that Freo may consider taking Hartung. No inside info but thought it was a chance.
Underlined his elite endurance last week at the combine, when he ran an all-time record 16.6 in the beep test. Hartung set himself to break Bradley Hill's 16.1, set in 2011, and willed himself up and down the line. The Dandenong Stingray is small but has elite foot skills, a burst of speed, and clearly can run all day. He brings some zip to every game he plays, be it through the middle, close to goal or streaming from half-back.

Every player we have drafted in the first round has had elite foot skills, so I can see Lloyd being interested in him.
Hartung is a touch on the short side
Yes, that and the elite endurance + his ability to play many positions. Sounds like a good little package.
Oh and the speed.
He is only 176cm's, so will be limited in the positions he can play.He can play anywhere from Wing to forward pocket, but due to height probably will not play much in defense.
I can see why we would draft him, but if McCarthy is available I would be so disappointed. You do eventually need to balance your list.
Yes. You would have to wonder if we would pass on an Acres for a Hartung. some think Acres will be gone by our pick though. Doubt anybody really knows though.
P.S does anyone one know what time WST the draft is.
Hartung has the touch of a B.Harvey about him IMO.
Also, the draft is on Fox Footy every year, so i would assume 2013 would be no different. Normally mid/late arvo WST

Don't let Crowls near him on the first of every month then.

I thought he had a touch of Cotchin about him.
No dick-heads is equivalent to no lying-snivelling-arse-wipes;so if the 'touch of B' is to do with the kid's character he won't fit the list management model.

Just made my third pick. Unfortunately, I had planned to pick Tom Vandeleur but he was taken at the pick right before me. So I had to settle for Mitch Harvey.
Nice one Chris, from memory you had big wraps on Harvey earlier on in the year, but it looks like he's drifted a fair bit in everyone's estimations. Any particular reason?

I don't think he's necessarily drifted. It's more that people have finally stopped overrating his draft position - which is anywhere from the third round onwards. Like I said in my write up, those who had only seen him play once or twice were getting carried away.
Yep, sorry (duh) should have just read the write-up.
RTB doesn't seem to handle the less athletically gifted with any compassion or latitude. In fact down right aggressive seems to the norm for "fat" players. If the guy genuinely has no endurance I am, sure that RTB will have some strong words for whoever picks him.
My point I guess is that there will have to be some serious raps on him to justify RTB's displeasure.
So Chris25 is his potential that high?
Excellent SANFL form, a very good clearance player (similar to Mitchie).
Probably lacks a bit versatility and is one paced. His skills are neat, similar to Mitchie.
I got my hopes up yesterday watching his write up and vid on the afl website. Maybe Brisbane will lose him after 2-3 years anyway - who knows.

Would not be unhappy with Acres at all. As long as we can nab someone like Brown or Giles with out second pick.
