Re: A great Draft opportunity
I love this club and I hold anyone in contempt who does not think it is worth fighting for.

I would argue that it's not so much a weak draft as a whole, but a weak draft at the top end. The whole draft overall is pretty reasonable and quite a bit deeper than normal.Beast wrote:Its actually the weakest draft in years and we are absolutely no chance of getting Brayshaw at 5 or Langford at 30.
Get anyone other than Laverde, Pickett or Durdin with our first pick and I will be disappointed.
I'm confident we should get a decent kid at 48 and maybe even 85 if we decide to use that pick.

While a rare positive post from 35forever is very welcome, it is, as usual, delusional.
If Brayshaw is still available at 5, we may well be "timed out" of our pick, as the paramedics furiously attempt to to revive Dekka.
And there is absolutely no chance whatsoever of Langford still being there at 30.

I hold a cup of wisdom, but there is nothing within.
If you some of you reckon this draft isn't anything special, wait till you starting reading about the next two to follow. Poorest draft pool out of Victoria in a long while. The immediate challenge quite simply, is to pick the fifth best player available in this draft. Just as long as we get it right now cause there are supposedly even less guarantees in the next couple years.

Funny that, I heard that Dekka really rates the class of 2016...Pies2016 wrote:If you some of you reckon this draft isn't anything special, wait till you starting reading about the next two to follow.

I know he sees himself as a forward but to me he looks and moves like a ruckman in Sam Jacobs mold and I just don't think thats someone we need right now.roar wrote:No love for Wright?Beast wrote:Its actually the weakest draft in years and we are absolutely no chance of getting Brayshaw at 5 or Langford at 30.

Paul Ahern is the one I forgot to mention as someone else I'd be happy with.

Maybe Dekkas highly rated '' class of 2016 '' is tucked away in states other than Vic. Or is it just coincidence that SA have won the last two U18 national championships.
Might also help to explain why this draft isn't anything special if Vic haven't been as strong in the recent championships.
