    I don't know if I could survive a year of watching him spray the ball all over the place after taking incredible mark after incredible mark but I love watching him play. He is a classic bulldog player though. Slightly too short for the job we've given him but makes up for it with copious amounts of crazy brave.

    Not on the main list.

    You may have something factual but without elaboration the current status is just slinging mud and thus has no substance.

    Pick 9: With the retirements of Bob Murphy and Matthew Boyd across the Dogs' half-back line, Nick Coffield is worth considering with their first selection to bolster that area of the ground. The Northern Knights captain won All Australian selection this year after an impressive carnival for the winning Vic Metro side. At 190cm and with a real turn of pace (he ran 2.91 seconds in the 20-metre sprint at the NAB AFL Draft Combine), he plays as a sweeping, general defender who gives drive.

    Around the mark: Hunter Clark, Andrew Brayshaw, Aaron Naughton

    I've mentioned Coffield a number of times during the year and rate him. When playing as a midfielder he is very much an outside player. As a defender or winger I think he is currently more suited to. He will be in the mix for our first selection and I doubt he will be for our 2nd pick.

    From the vision I've seen of Coffield he seems to make a bit of time for himself and rarely gets too flustered.

    Rumour is Collingwood are very into Coffield, but I'd love him to slip to us.
    Would be a real asset as a rebounding HB as he develops, good height at 190cm too.

    If we nab a mid or a HF who will transition to midfield with pick 16 we'll have the perfect balance of players we've added to our list, considering we banned a KPF, KPB and an athletic utility/HB at the trade table.

    Where you say "banned a KPF" do you mean "gained a KPF"?
