I wonder how long it will take AFL.com to fix their "By the numbers: 2017 AFL Draft" article that currently has his photo captioned as being drafted by West Coast.

How do the three of Oscar Allen, Balta and CCJ compare Bullus. I was initially disappointed we didn't pick Allen at 20 and then I would have assumed CCJ would still be on the board for us at 25. Is Balta a better pick than Allen?
Also we may have walked away with all three if we didn't select Higgins - our main squad has plenty of good to very good smalls - don't get me wrong I think Higgins will be a very good player for us but is he what the squad needs at the moment.
It's still a fair question to ask and one that helps rate our overall draft performance. Did we walk away with the best talls at our disposal.
Surely your not suggesting we use our first pick to stockpile smalls for future ontrading - it would be very hard to get a better return on pick 17 if that was our strategy.

I would think that with Higgins being so highly rated that the club would have thought that he would have been well gone by our pick and when he was available had to take him.
Don't know anything about Hayes, but the fact that Jack Graham was also U18 SA captain from the same club as Callum he would have have had a fair bit of intel on Callum's character and capabilities.
Don't mind bringing another interstater from the same area to bond with the current one.

I hope he's good enough to win himself.
The Stafford call looks apt, and he ticks a lot of boxes for the role he'll play. I've learnt to never get too caught up in pre-draft reputations, so while Allen looked like a good choice as well, we don't know what any of these kids will become.

CCJ appears to me as more of a Matt Primus type player. Strong leader with some attributes and some weaknesses that require remediation.
Can understand why we went him over Allen. Allen is under sized and reminds me to much of lennon

Read he had the second most hit-outs at the Champs and there is no doubting he is a good mark!
Reckon the Stafford comparisons are there but he seems a bit more athletic. Certainly looks like he has a great frame, which will fill-out to be a powerful fella.
The first vision I saw of him the other day he looked like a concrete statue, however the more I see the more I like, looks genuine Ruck forward to me, kicking appears Hammer like but much more effectivecaesar said:
I know Bullus didnt rate CCJ this high but i like the kid, He has that Tough hard mongrel in him that keeps the other teams players honest
Good size and can play foward with decent athletic ability and presence - Rotating with Nank will work and is a marking beast with leadership and smarts

nank will need to double up with a resting ruck for a number of games , for mine its wide open, griff, hammer or if one of these kids can grow a leg , you never know
Might be just me but on the highlights I thought his longer kicking wasn't to bad when he can kick through but when he does those short passes it looks pretty ordinary. Otherwise looked alright.
