..our list has the runners, it's more an issue of hard running and work ethic across the team, vs some exhausting themselves and others choosing how much effort they give.. .... ..but in regards to outside run, it is there..

..i don't mind a mid with avg pace, provided he has a quick mind and good awareness/vision.. ..inside the stoppage, this is what makes them quicker, vs breakaway pace which is easier to stifle, but fast mind/disposal is much harder to control..

..i just think who-ever we pick, for the next 5 years with our 1st pick really needs to be a kpp or a pure mid.. ..this 'almost' ought to be a hard and fast criteria for us..

punter 22 yeah we have one who is going to be 27 next yr.I want an 18 yr old that gives our middys outside run with pace.

Compared to our key forward who is 31 next season and can't get on the park……..

Looking forward to seeing our potential realised.

I'm with you on this BV. KP should be priority, if available at any of our picks.
But then there are smarter men than me in here, so what do I know.

Cripps at 13 would be cheaper than what we paid for Brock .....

Just sayin !

Hopefully he gets a clear run at it and turns out just as good...............and is quicker than a glacier

the good thing is.... u learnt to keep your failed opinions to yourself....

not sure which side i giggle at more...... the sycophant or the cowardly

I know you asked Surrey but why isn't McCarthy a worthy option for that pick, especially given the key position player crisis at Carlton.

Just because he's the best KPP available doesn't necessarily make him worthy of 13

I also believe we have a midfield crisis. List them all and there are not too many that would get a game in another side.

Of course it doesn't but it seems the focus is just on midfielders when it is clear there is a key position player crisis at the club.

youre not going to fix a midfield crisis by taking a tall at 13 whos unworthy.... shades of watson.

build your cake first.... then u can cherry pick your cherries if needed....

our midfield is made up of an aging bunch of guys supplemented by a bunch of rookies... lol

then 3 early picks at mid age stage of their footy... one we just gave up 700k to get....

but we do know.... that unless u win the midfield your talls have no hope in hell...!!!

so fix your midfield first (ie cake) and then worry about the rest..

most clubs do this now.

Why is McCarthy not worthy?

Our key position stocks are made up of Henderson and a bunch of rookies/flakes/late ND picks. Waite almost cooked. Casboult can't kick. Rowe mediocre to date. Watson inexperienced/lacking mobility. Jamison shoulder issues.

There is no reason why a tall couldn't be targeted with the first pick and then mids with the rest. It is clear the later you go with your KP picks the more likely it is they won't make it. You can't keep avoiding the talls issue.

The staggering thing is the last time the club drafted a tall with a pre 15 pick in the draft was Mr Kennedy back in 05!

It is clear quality mids can be acquired more easily with later picks, unlike KP.

Use free agency to lure a decent KP.
Use the draft to stock up on skilled mids

i dunno how much u r understading about the game evolution but id rather have a c grade kp area than a c grade midfield...


its no surprise everyones picking up mids.. unless the talls are exceptional '(with early picks...

no surprise to me anyway.....


so yeah youre left with talls if u want them..... do you want them enough??.... snag them!!!

thats all!!!!

world changes....!!!...
