    Some BF "experts" rate him a second rounder, but despite that I think we should consider all options. Harry Taylor was a mature aged first round pick wasn't he, picked up when Egan's foot became chronic?
    I wondered why stefoid thought if he was passed over in the 2nd round we should nab him in the 3rd. Now I know why.

    He's a good footballer but the comparison to Harry Taylor just doesn't ring true to me. I saw a bit of him last season in WA state games on the ABC. He's athletic and a good size but I'm wondering about his footy smarts as a forward. I think he might have more chance as a defender than a forward in our set-up.
    From what I have seen Max Duffy is a smart footballer with a bit of dash.

    Most forwards would struggle in our set up - I think I'd rather avoid than get another tall defender, we actually look ok for tall defenders and think other priorities are more important this time round.

    We really need some pacy midfielders with football smarts.

    ^ Yep, although I think we will look to youngsters as first priority for these types

    Yes you are right. I wouldn't mind another Dickson type, but I don't believe we need another tall.
