Interesting. I am not convinced that Stringer won’t end up a mid. Hasn’t looked like his athleticism is the same but is winning the ball based on pure footballing ability. Which he has plenty of. I do wonder about how much work he can do on the leg based in the bush. Think in the structured environment of the AFL with top flight facilities he can get better quickly. He is the wildcard of this draft. If the Bulldogs have two picks in the top 10, I would use one of them on Stringer.

Either Melbourne (if they get Viney in the 2nd round) , the Bulldogs or Brisbane will make a play at the mini draft so I'm not sure that Stringer will be in the mix for them. The Bulldogs also might be tempted by Plowman more than Stringer. If Gold Coast or GWS do the right thing and make Melbourne use a early pick on Viney it will certainly help us later in the draft.
Not entirely sure I would use it on a mid Aces, If a quality KP defender was on the cards then definitely.Smoking Aces said:
Have liked a few things from Caddy but if I wanted a young Mid then I'd probably look at the GWS kids.
If Caddy did want out(which I honestly don't think he does) then pick 9 would be fine by me.
Having 2 x picks around the 30 mark should enable us to get a couple of quality mid's anyhow.
Its the big blokes that are hardest to find & I strongly believe this is where your list manager earns his money, unfortunately for us I don't have much faith in ours!
One thing I do know is that the RFC needs to grow a set & grab a quality player that will increase our lists ability to win games.

it would be good for us if they over took us, we drop down the order 2 places. That's good.
First 2 picks need to be mids - 1 classy line breaker and 1 in and under with good skills for mine.
First pick ...classiest most skillful player they can get. If he's also tough great.
Second pick...see above.
Third pick...see above...oooorrrrrr....could be tempted with a tall forward depending what's left.

It looks like one of Kennedy, Wines, Garlett, Stringer, O'Rourke, Vlastuin, Mayes, Macrae & Simpson will be available at our first pick. Not a bad list to choose from considering we are desperate to add to our midfield mix.
But what about our second and third picks which at this stage will be 29 and 31?
Will the likes of Rory Atkins, Taylor Garner, Matthew Haynes, Jason Pongracic, Shannon Taylor be around at our second & third picks?
For the junior experts out there what are their thoughts on these players?

Plenty of quality to choose from with pick 9.K3 said:If that list of players was still around for our pick Smoking, I would fully expect Jackson's head to explode through sheer weight of possibilities!
Have you seen much of Pongracic? He seems to be talked up around the various forums as someone who we might be eyeing off.SCOOP said:
Sounds like a Martin clone. Any reason why he would slip to pick 29. Sounds more like a first rounder.tigs2010 said:
