Well, the papers and Richmond sorta admitted that they have no skills, and now have had to try to fix that with their drafting.Mr Miyagi wrote:...
We won the draft. Forget the papers going gaga over Richmond, this moment alone had us the clear winner. Suffer in your jocks, Essendon!
Very good reading Dave, I’m always interested in the knocks as much as their strengths and the comments sound like they have come from a base of knowledge. If it comes down to work ethic, then the balls in his court and that’s always easier than having limitations that can’t be improved upon.Dave The Man wrote:From Rookie Me EditorHe’s a mid/forward more than half-back. Strong overhead, great clearance work.
He’s incredibly versatile though, can play anywhere. He played off HB for SA in that champs game before getting injured and looked the goods, he’s a forward runner so better being somewhere he can see the play too.
The knock on him was his two-way running because when his opponent won the ball at the stoppage he would (literally) walk, which he improved more forwards the end before being injured. He’s a first round prospect if he can pull his finger out which hopefully comes in an elite environment. Like he looked super for say 80% of the game, if he can improve that 20% where he can be lethargic, then he’s got plenty of upside.
Does sound his Work Rate need Improvement and that explains why teams did not take him in 1st 2 Rounds.Pies2016 wrote:Very good reading Dave, I’m always interested in the knocks as much as their strengths and the comments sound like they have come from a base of knowledge.

This might be it. 4:20 markPresti35 wrote:Someone needs to upload the footage of Dodoro throwing his pen and the Essendon camp in stunned silence when we took Draper from under their noses.
Dont forget that Melbourne pinched Salem with number 9 and we ended up with freeman at 10.Lazza wrote:^^^^^
That makes him a brilliant pick, possibly atoning the sad situation Collingwood experienced when they were all set to draft Joel Selwood before Geelong stuffed it up, leaving us to pick Ben Reid who wasn’t such a bad back up.
Well it's one of the few ways you can get a A-grade talent with pick 45.Cam wrote:We had to fill our usual quota of taking a player with a bad injury in the juniors.
The difference here was that Collingwood deliberately set about getting the pick necessary to stuff Essendon’s selection. When Footscray drafted Bontempelli, they just used a high pick they had ahead of us.Bucks5 wrote:I imagine Hine also threw his pen when the Bulldogs called out Bontempelli.
Port also scuttled Dodoro when they swapped picks with the Eagles and grabbed Sinn before the Bombers pick. It was gold.Pies4shaw wrote:The difference here was that Collingwood deliberately set about getting the pick necessary to stuff Essendon’s selection.
