    Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?

    Is Viney good enough to be a first round pick ? Would he be in our sights for a 5 or 6, or he's not that good to waste a top pick ?

      He's a highly rated inside mid, may not be available at 5 anyway on the open market and with Libba/Wallis/Smith and Hunter I think we coudl look at others just as highly rated.

        We are not even in the frame for him. Our pick is after Melbourne's and so either GWS or GC force Melbourne to use pick 3 for him, or they don't and Melbourne nominate their second round pick for him and noone else can stop it.
        Pick 3 is about fair market price for Viney. Would definitely be a to 5 prospect if he was not a father son pick.

          Thanks YHF, clears up the draft question I had.

            Viney is an absolute JET and whilst Whitfield probably just shades him those two would be dominating the 1-2 debate if he wasn't father son.

            Melbourne will do whatever they need to in order to get him - boost for the club, for membership and he is a really good player who is worth the pick. Gold Coast will bid for him to make them use pick 3. All's fair in love and war.

              Given their lack of strong bodies and now Caddy leaving, GC would do well to end up with Viney. Agree with you, can't see Melbourne letting him go at any cost.

                Good. That is the point of the current father son system. Teams should pay as close to real cost as possible. If Viney is a top 2 player in this draft then pick 3 is appropriate. It also means that there is a player that we wouldn't have access to using up one of the picks before ours which is a positive.

                  His injury probably hurt him as well. I know I was a bit unsure where he would go after the champs even though he did enough before hand. I mean he was a better player then Toby Greene last year when at the Oakleigh Chargers, but a year younger. So that would give a good gauge to AFL clubs as to how good he can become.

                  GC should absolutely nominate him especially after Caddy walking out on the club as well.

                    Also rejected him as a player.

                      Martin and Hogan will be the best available at our pics and I'd be happy to throw in the kitchen sink at the mini and take both. Make no mistake these two players will be elite. You will have to wait longer but bulldog members are used to that.

                          Well at least until the current TV deal runs it course... After that who knows??

                            JUSTIN Hardy's transformation from key defender to forward-line spearhead has done more than help him snare a Ken Farmer Medal
