        what's with the skepticism. He kicked 100 goals for Noble Park... Oh, Pat Bowden kicked 100 goals in a local league too. ok, i see the skepticism now.

            I am willing to wait and see on this one rather grab a smoky at 57 than 17

                He only trained half an hour a week while with the bombers, so now being a full time footballer this shouldn't be a problem.

                    He was considered unfit by Noble Park standards, he has a massive amount of work ahead of him.

                        It's a bit of a stretch but could he develop as quickly as a Crameri under a full-time professional environment? Crameri was nowhere near AFL-fit until last pre-season when he tore it up on the track.

                        Unlike some of our previous hail-mary selections, at least Dickson has good recent form at the next level below AFL.

                                Honestly why wouldn't you just rookie list this guy? Sure he might be a player but seriously it's not like anyone else was going to draft him. Is there seriously not a junior we could have picked at 57 who has more upside than Dickson? It seems we are compelled to reach for players every year.

                                    What the ???
                                    Have they even had this bloke on the track and seen his potential ?
                                    Not happy with this pick at all.
                                    Underdogs is correct we should have rookied him.

                                        Grant has seen him for two of the last three years and McCartney would have seen him last year. They obviously rate him for some reason.

                                            James Hird was looking at him as a rookie.

                                                Lots of examples of recent success with this sort of recruitment. Given his record in lower grades and the obvious endorsement of Shannon Grant, I am not unhappy with the selection. Crameri's achievement should be model.

                                                    Everyone craps on about what a shallow draft this is. Seems to make sense to me that we would target a mature player with a strong body. I reserve my judgement on this one and note that no-one commenting here professes to have actually seen him play.
                                                    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

                                                        We still have a pick before them in the rookie draft
