[Scoop]

Anyone in mind Scoop? Could be a top 6 pick (or better)

Ben Hobbs & Finn Callaghan. Tyler Sonsie with the second pick. Early days tho.

 

[toothless]

Desperately need good development/assistant coaches, mids, KPD & KPF

I've noticed you shouting for this on here well before our 2017 flag and dominance, but still nothing happening!! Why???

We won three flags and the club gets the credit for building the list. Our success and game plan was built without a dominant midfield but with two all time greats with uniquely different but complimentary styles (Dusty & Cotch ). It’s incredible what we did. Prestia is a jet when fit. Jack Graham is a great cog but we haven’t built the replacements. Bolton will end up one piece but we needed to have more incoming now, drafted back in 2014, 15, 16.

That's another big risk we took and OK it's paid off, but not anymore as we see now. Successful clubs always win flags with a strong midfield and I've never seen one in our team well before we became premiers. Time to do it now (including ruck)

I know hindsight is a wonderful thing.
But we stuffed up the mid season draft.
Should have grab a ready made ruckman

Why we have Chol the superstar third stringer?? Gut busting efforts etc..

Yeah, that bloke. What's his name again?

The 2013 and 2014 drafts hurt. We should now have 2 players as key midfield rotations with 100 plus games under their belt but we got Lennon and Cellis. It was remarkable to win 3 flags but we're very thin in the midfield now.

His job come November is becoming a lot easier

Maybe not, if he doesn't draft the next Cotchin, Martin & Reiwoldt with the picks he has, they'll be calling for his head.

 

[Ridley]

He needs to nail the picks in this draft. We really need to start the midfield rebuild.

 

[Bill Haverchuck]

Just Hope dimma and/or Hartley don't screw it up...

 

[tigers80]

Are we doing the west coast play book.

What's that?

 

[fastin bulbous]

Recreational drug inspired premierships?

 

[Bill Haverchuck]

A lot of talk about mids but we have the worst young talls in the comp , with 6 picks it would be ideal if we could draft 3 talls and 3 mids..
I know it won't work out that way probably but one can hope..
I may missing someone but the last time we used a first round pick on a tall was 2008 on TV

 

[jb03]

What's that?

I thought it meant drop right down the ladder, pick up a couple of gun youngsters and ping back up.

 

[Carter]

There’s unique opportunity in fading away in these last few rounds.

Play miller and give MRJ a run or two.

Yes Bill we need KPDs as well. Not much on the list behind Jack who's just about done and Lynch. I'd go 4 mids and 2 KPD.

Yeh, we could have Merrett and Weller. Then we'd be seventh.
