Pics 15 & 26 ND 2011 - Who should we pick?

Re: Pic 14 ND 2011 - Who should we pic?
I think depending on what type of player we want these are the 3 that should be available and looked at...
1. Toby Greene (inside mid)
2. Brad McKenzie (outside mid) can play inside a bit though.
3. Sam Docherty (back flanker)
McKenzie and Docherty both have elite skills, Docherty also very quick compared to McKenzie. Greene's elite ability is his ball-winnin capability.
Comes down to what the club wants/needs.

I reckon there's going to be a few surprises. The top 5 looks pretty set (Coniglio, Patton, Wingard, Longer, Tyson) but after that I don't think it's as cut and dried as other years especialy with the possibility GWS might decide to load up on quality talls while they can.

Greene seems to be a logical choice if Jackson is traded, I'm predicting he'll be ready to play in 2012 and would be definite upgrade.

Even the top 5 isn't settled, Buntine to GC is a possibility (if the pick isn't traded).

Certainly agree with that. I wrote in the BHP thread that id be looking at off-loading Jacko for one of GWS 10 previously nominated players they can sign and trade. Luke Brown is touted top 20-25 pick if he goes to the draft. Speedy half back/wingman.

True - Ellis is the one I probably have higher than most - elite kick, courageous and composed. Not super quick, but a true footballer. Played mostly defence (All Aus Back Pocket) but can go through the middle and kick a goal.

I am a huge Ellis fan as well. I thought he might be floating around at 30 ish. You reckon he will go top 12?
The two things I really like about him is that he could play right away in 2012 and he is a backline general. We don't have enough of those.

Crozier is the interesting one for mine, played some breath-taking footy at the carnival but there must be some question marks over consistency and the fact he's a real lightweight (62 kg). He did finish the TAC season strongly which was a positive but I'm pretty wary of the x-factor types, particularly when it comes to first round selections.

Re: Pic 14 ND 2011 - Who should we pic?
If I trusted our Sports Science to be able to get him to be big enough, it wouldn't bother me cause he has top 5 potential.
But I don't so we move on unfortunately. We just do not have the resources in that field to get our players big enough.
Run by a inept guy.

Re: Pic 14 ND 2011 - Who should we pic?
You would be confident that we could get a 62kg kid to be big enough in time?
We have failed with a lot of players around the same weight in Edwards etc.
I don't think it is an overreaction to say we are and have been the smallest physical team in the league for some time and there is a common denominator in all that.
