well i tend to think some of our choices of late such as Lucas when we could have gone for Talia still confuses me . When we picked up Watson i thought this sounds good until a mate who watches a bit of the TAC cup said think of Jason Cloke with a booming kick, Marcus Davies, sort a poor decision maker. Easy to criticise i know but I don't reckon we have got bang for our buck with draft picks. Understand that not every pick is going to be a winner, but early picks especially second round we have usually got these chronically wrong - we have fared better with rookies at times.
Watto isn't a tweener like Jason Cloke.
Robinson, Garlett, Betts, Jamison and Jacobs were good late picks. Fools judge Hampson as a forward when he's a ruck. Hine wanted Hammer. Grigg was worth 19.
Misquided footy supporter logic says you want Talia because he's a tall. Good mail that Rendell would have gone for Lucas if we hadn't picked him. You'd be happier with Jetta, Menzel and Fyfe. Pittard is injured, but is a gun with skill and the right attitude. We still need small defenders. There were no real inside mids around at our pick 11 and 12.
Garlett, Betts, Jamison and Jacobs were all rookies, that's why I said we have fared better with our rookies
look at some of second round and third round picks like Bower, Hartlett, Edwards, Browne, Austin , Davies etc
You can call it miss-guided, but Talia to me is a better prospect and has always been, we are lacking good quality talls especially in defence - Watson looks like a rabbit in a spotlight under a high footy
But one thing that does annoy me is that we pick up blokes who cannot kick
Good mail also told me that if we hadn't lost our early picks, back in 2003 we were keen on Kepler Bradley as well
