Draft Day 2014: First Impressions.

[josie]

Caleb doesn't have to debut this year. None of our kids do, they're longer term prospects,
Webb is ahead of the bell curve and Bailey Dale looks far better than I'd expect a 70kg draftee to look as well.

We've got Wallis to come back, Grant & Hunter to push for selection, Biggs & Darley waiting - no pressure needs to be applied to our kids at all

Agree, however it would be wonderful if he did. It's tantalising to see if his pure talent can overcome his stature and so many of us, and other club supporters to boot, are rooting for him to make it at the top level. I'm guessing he will get a game or two in seniors before year's end if his knee is ok. My reasoning is I think Bevo will rotate tired bodies and Caleb is such a good user/accumulator.

It's very early. Very!

But how did you think we went?
Did we cover our positional needs?
Any player excite you more than any others?
What's your initial impression? How do you think we went out of 10?

I tell you what. If we win a flag in 2016 I will give it 10/10.


Pfffft. But that ain't gonna happen. We just don't win flags.

Interesting looking back at the first few pages with hindsight.

In our current land of the Giants, this draft is a giant - 3 premiership players and at least 4 blokes who should have long careers with Webb hopefully breaking through this year. The mix of players still compliments our list nicely.

Geez I was adamant we needed KPD's back then. LOL

I bagged the Hamling selection but proved to be a gem fro us, pity we lost him.

Nailed 4 out of 5 picks so great draft.

What happened to Darcy Fort?

Hamling will be awesome. Hard worker, athletic, 3 years in the system with Geelong...

This was spot on.

Reading through there were doubts on Caleb Daniel making it and lots of doubts on our defence.
