I think we do put quite a bit of emphasis on the number crunching but it's worth remembering that Blair has been a long time fan of Hampster, even as far back as his Port days. So much so, he was even willing to part with a top ten pick at one stage. But there's no denying that the taps to advantage are ruck gold when it comes stats, even better when you get one of the best in the business for a pick in the thirties. And for all his faults on the kicking front, Hampson was actually a dead-eye in front of goal in 2012, delivering an exceptional 15.4. Fingers crossed he recaptures that form and remains relatively healthy for most of the season.

It's true, given Miles was AA in his u/18 year and had the highest average disposals out of the entire pool must be cause for optimism. Issues like kicking depth and outside capabilities should be secondary concerns, particularly for a rookie pick. I think Miles stands a pretty good chance of becoming a 100 gamer.

Spends most of her time on the bench, with brief stints in the pocket.

If your fortunate enough to be a monogomyst, you want your misses to be a CHF. You want some swagger. You want her hitting the pack at full tilt, with the flight of the ball if the situation demands. You want her taking the big grabs at pivotal moments and , when the game is in the balance, she needs to be able to grab it by the horn and wrestle the momentum your way, get back on top and drive home the advantage.
Either that, or you want an outside mid, a smooth finisher. Once again, the Bean thread delivers. :clap

As I said to Tigerdog at the draft, we could have selected Lennon without a recruiting network. FJ and the team earn their money by picking up guys like Liam McBean in good drafts or tracking Lloyd over a season or two when the draft is paper-thin.
I don't know who makes the recruiting decisions of recycled players but Banfield and miles are very good cheap gets.

I agree with what you are saying but I'm not sure FJ can gain too much credit for the McBean selection. McBean was listed on the AFL website inside the top 30. We passed over him at 30 to take McIntosh, and risked someone else taking him. A pick 33 selection of McBean could also have been done without a recruiting team - this was not a surprise IMO. McIntosh on the other hand was a surprise selection, jury is out on that one.
