Say all these new Dogs come good, where would see each playing? Forget about who's playing there now.
And what was our strategy tonight?
Drafting 2 players late who are 22 and 23 it seems like they wanted some mature players who could produce earlier rather than 3 - 5 years from now. Really don't know enough about the players to position them on the field.
Obviosly the club has a heap of faith that we our current devloping forwards are on the money, Between Cordy, Grant, Bouman, Jones, Roughead, dare I say Everitt, we should be capacble of finding a decent spine.
3 half back flankers is interesting. I would have liked to see a half forward flanker.
Markovic looked a certainty to be drafted a few years ago. Bit surprising he was nothing more than a rookie at the time. Interesting choice. Obviously is a big mature body with plenty of experience at the next level down. Possible insurance policy in the wake of the Wight/Skipper/O'Shea delistings.

Interesting that we took two older players in the draft. Could it be that we are looking for ready made replacements in the next 2-3 years to compliment the rest of our younger brigade? Kind of makes sense to me.

Howard was a midfielder as a junior maybe someone who's seen him might tell us if he can play in the midfield.
He describes himself in that article as discussing with Collingwood that he is best suited to running off half back andhitting up the forwards. I'm not sure if thats the role we have in mind for him though.
Considering this is Dalrymple's first draft, you would have thought he could have played it a bit safer. Still listening to Dalrymple on Sen now he rates his Howard's kicking from outside the 50 - so on the money he will be a replacement for the Eagle. Still disappointed at the moment when I look at who North have managed to get.
Shocking interview with Dalrymple by Schwass from SEN.
All we really got was the emphasis was on outside speed with good kicking skills. Dalrymple talked up Howard and Tutt for a bit then Schwass cut him off and gave us nothing on the other 2.

Ballsy first effort. He will live or die on it with our 'supporters'.

Lets hope they all are just capable of playing footy at the highest level. Pick 1 or 91 it's up to the them to perform! So lets hope they can do what the Bulldogs want them to do

That's the most important thing, as of tomorrow they are all simply young footballers on an AFL list trying their best. It is irrelevant if they were picked first or last they all have the same opportunities in front of them and I look forward to seeing how their careers play out.
