We got rid of Paine in a trade for Karnezis recently, which was a good move from a flexibility standpoint in the seniors. But who will be the tall marking target in the VFL side this year? Most likely Lynch and white will be fighting for the same spot in the seniors, meaning one of them may also be playing VFL. Gault could be moved forward, but frankly, he's lucky to still be listed. We have no true KPF prospect in development now that Paine is gone.
For this reason, I think we will take Bumbumsmelly at 6, and Mcarthy at 10 as a Hine special.
you may be right, but i think we have Darcy Moore pencilled in for next year, and as you say, we have Cloke, White and Lynch with reid and Goldsack handy if they go forward. Not sure if Keefe will ever have the feel for the game required to play forward. he may have started playing too late to ever know where to go to get the ball.
Also, i hope to hell that we aren't going to use our number 10 pick with a view to who is going to play CHF in the magoos!!!!!!
"The youngster from the Sandringham Dragons took out the repeat sprint event and came second in the 20m sprint testing, while also recording a top 10 result in the beep test and 3km time trial. An accomplished ball-user on the outside with an explosive change of direction, Freeman also has the ability to find his own ball with his strong build and ability to read the contest. He improved the defensive aspect of his game in 2013 and will be a tantalising prospect for any club looking for a line-breaking midfielder".

How good does this guy sound? (Nathan Freeman)
I reckon Freeman is the Exact Player we need. He has the Pace and Explosiveness that we are Missing
A lot of the top fancies didn't make the top ten in anything. I see Jake Kelly came top ten in two of the running categories
That's because the draft gurus have worked out that beep tests and shuttle runs don't win you the ball. Recruiting managers use those things to seperate players towards the bottom of the draft, but at the top end there are many more obvious football-type factors.
Kings of the beep test over the years have included Brayden Norris, Ricky Dyson, Sam Iles and Hayden Hector.

My concern is he is not too composed with the ball. Won't assist our already poor ball usage into the foward fifty. Every write up sounds amazing this time of year.
One team, one dream - the Pies and this year's premiership
I've been saying Lennon at pick 6 and Bontempelli at pick 10 since day 1.
If Bon is not there at 10 then surely Salem or KK then Freeman. Make no mistake we will have 2 very promising mid/forwards coming our way. i forgot Dom Sheed or even Billings at 6 would be fantastic. I really wish we had another top 20 pick, someone like Hartung or Taylor just to really set things up for next years draft. Exiting times ahead folks.
Lennon 6., Bontempelli 10.
Cheers.

Other way around I reckon. Bontempelli 6 and Leonnon 10. Why do I reckon? I don't know why I reckon that, I just reckon.

Seriously though I'd have Garlett & Bontempelli not necessarily in that order.
Agree.
I would love to see Garlett with the Pies.
I reckon he worth the crack.
He'll we've had other early picks that have turned out to be absolute shockers.
This kid can play.
Garlett isn't worth contemplating. Hawks, North or Bombers will pick him up in second or third round (Hawks may even pull the trigger with their first rounder).
Too many question marks over his head to be taken in the top 10.
