Re: PRE Phatnom Draft 2007.
He's durable alright,he's the strongest guy in this draft.He's a pretty traditional 90's style chf/ff.Kind of like Barry Hall.
I have a mate in Bendigo who's opinion I trust and who watches them every week,he was the guy who raved to me about Andrew Collins last year too.Big fan of Tarrant.
The main reason I picked him is because we're crying out for a strong big bloke.If Schulz doesn't end up making it we're screwed.
As far as being a 'reach',he may be a little bit,but I'm pretty sure he'll go in the 20's.That Weaver dude over on Bigfruity is a pretty good judge normally and i notice he has him at #17.
Now that we've given away #19 i really don't see we have a choice.There wont be stuff all KPP's left at #51.So we either take 1 here or go without for another year.
I could've picked Grimes,Vespremi or Collier, and if we pick any of those I won't really mind, but the way I see it a big guy is in a way is 'safer' pick.Look at Schulz,he's pretty much 'failed' for 5 years and we could've still got #28 for him.A guy like Danny Meyer taken at #12 too is worth nothing,you can't give them away.
You could probably make a similar argument for picking Bellchambers too.
