What TYPE of players should we select in the draft?

Re: What TYPE of players should we select in the draft?

From what I've read we'd be paying over the odds, but then it worked out with Everitt, and you can only really judge a players worth down the track.
It makes sense from the two KPP's who'll be available perspective.

I wonder if he'd be prepared to amend that for a midfielder who slid, ie everyone's favourite Western Jet

I don't mind Grant at 5.
I have only seen the worst of Tarrant, so have negative opinion of him.

If Ward falls as far as 19, I would be very surprised.

Can he kick straight?

I know, he was more an example, but generally at least one highish rated player falls further than most thought.

Tarrant seems to have tested quite well, but I'm questionable of players who seem to test ok but don't have the history on the park. Again I'm only going by what others have said but he seems to be trading more on his size and brother's rep than actual deeds.

That should make him a 100 goal forward at AFL level

Best available talent is the only way to go. I have faith in Mr Clayton

It's our new thing, moving onto the younger, better brothers?

I am hearing Grant and Tarrant...

Best available is a crock and is what got us in this situation in the first place.

No-one can tell who's better than anyone else when they're all 17-18 yos, hell, if we tried to rank the players from 1997 we wouldn't agree.

Exactly why you go for the best available.

All good and well, but we still need to fill the gaps that on our list.

You know I love you dearly SS, but you actually weren't the information source I was referring too!

I agree with Doggy Doo's and your thoughts here. We need to inject some pace with any midfielders that we add in this draft.
Boyd should be the one to cover Westy in the next season or two.

Cause if there is one thing the bulldogs need it is lighly framed but quick players

We actually do need some quick runners. Out midfield lacked a bit of spark last season so a couple of quick guys would be a great assistance for us. As someone else pointed out we will miss McMahons run.

If you get the best available, you fill in those positions. The best tall will fill in the tall roll we require etc etc.

Copout...

Now I know little about the players to be drafted, but have spent a bit of time reading profiles and Mock Drafts so have some idea about the players, well I know there names. So we come down to our first pick and there is Rance available who is a tall defander and Grant who is a tall forward. Now Clayton rates Rance the better player, but we need a tall forward. How does your theory stack up here?

You're a non-believer in the "best available" strategy?

Having to work during day, has delayed my response to the Dry Rot.

Not against the best available, as long as that player fits our needs, nor am I concerned as to what sequence we select the type of players - as long we remedy our short comings.

We must provide the mix of players needed, not purely the best available which could provide 5 mid-fielders and one tall, or visa-versa.

This little 'doggy - doos' not know enough about the players in the draft (only influenced by repeated player profiles), so I'll have to leave it to Scotty Clayton - he gets paid the big $$$$.

I can only hope he has gained the right player info, and the selections opportunities fall his way.

Thanks for the feedback.

so many big forwards to choose from when we have such an early draft choice.
