What are people's thoughts on Christian Salem? By all reports he is on our radar for our first pick.

I like him a lot, he is just the type who will slot in from day one.

Actually sounds like a potential Dusty replacement.

He's a hunter, super defensive game that will appeal to the powers that be. And he's super cool with the ball in hand, sizes up his options and delivers with accuracy. At pick 11, I think he's ours if we want him.

Gotta have realism...non negotiable. ;D

Yep, look what happens when you get 500K blokes who think they are 600K blokes. ;D

B Ellis (did he ever get an adequate nickname? I missed it) has realism in spades.

RFC: 'here son sign this and we pay you heaps to play footy'
B Ellis: 'OK'

Great skills on both sides too.

Lester.
 
Re: Looks like Pick 10

If we could somehow get Adams, keep pick 11, Bontempelli slides and we take him, Marsh slides and we take him with our second... well, that'd be just dandy.
 
Re: Looks like Pick 10

Liked the look of Nick Holman playing for the successful Kyabram Bombers yesterday in the GV GF yesterday. Apparently a good chance to get drafted and did his chances no harm at all!
 
Re: Looks like Pick 10

After excellent picks in recent years, I have full confidence in Francis, Matt & Richard delivering some very good juniors to us.

I like Holman. Good, solid no frills type player. Tough as nails.

Sounds like someone who will complement our current mids. We need a defensive minded mid to offset cotch lids dusty grigg who are more offensive. Mongrel With good skills and composure too. If he has a burst of speed too he sounds perfect for us.
 
Re: Looks like Pick 10

Can those in the know tell me who they would prefer out of Salem and Freeman?

And where does Garlett sit (talent wise) amongst those two?
 
Re: Looks like Pick 10

Would take Salem in a heart beat, knows where the goals are- when he plays forward & plays well in the midfield (wing or in the middle),

Freeman has gone from top 5 towards low first round, he has been all over the shop in where he could go... Some good combine results should push him around 10-20, similar spot to where Salem is.
 
Re: Looks like Pick 10

Billy Hartung smashed Bradley Hill's beep test record at the combine today.
 
Re: Looks like Pick 10

Assuming we dont bring in any Free agents, we are looking at end of second rounder for Matt White and mid third rounder for McGuane.
Asuuming we keep these picks, who do we look at in the second and third rounds with these bonus picks?

I actually like the fact that 2 fringe players could be replaced with bonus juniors - net result is no losee really (touch and go with whitey, he was starting to show a bit).

Will we keep the picks? Will we use them? If so, who on?

Thoughts?

Can we save those picks for next years supposedly stronger draft?
 
Re: Looks like Pick 10

I like Ben Lennon. Any chance he could drop to us?

Also Freeman ewho seems to be ticking all the right boxes
 
Re: Looks like Pick 10

Lewis Taylor what are thoughts? A goal kicking rover. I think he will come into consideration.

Or if our recruiting staff are keen on a particular player, we could package the 2 x compensation picks and trade for one earlier pick.

Eg. Trade pick 40 (White) and pick 48 (approximates for the compo picks) for a pick around 28-31

And I would have thought McGuane's pick would have been worth more than Whitey's??

Nup, have to use them this year.
 
Re: Looks like Pick 10

I understand there are some great looking mids who will be available at our 1st pick but is there any chance Billings will last to our first pick and would anyone here nab him if available??
