Pretty sure Melbourne have activated a compo pick which will leave us with 5 and 6.Comment

Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?
Based on the limited I know of this years draft I'm liking the sounds of Menzel (SA) and Stringer (Vic). Risky I know in terms of their body concerns but the pay off could be the gravy our side is sorely lacking. Strong kids with x factor and potential to be high output players who can influence games. Both can play as mids and can hit the scoreboard as forwards.
I'm thinking of what we know of Macca and I'm guessing he'd find it hard to not consider the likes of Wines. Strong inside mid who mauls in the contest and can spread. Victorian boy as well. Worries me a little as he sounds like a better version of a few of our other mids. I guess an upgrade is an upgrade.
Mayes sounds good too. Great foot skills but I worry that he has played mostly as a forward and a little in the middle. South Australian too who we've got good history of retaining but there is always that risk. He can hit the scoreboard and those who claim to be in the know say he has the right mix of pace and one of the best kicks in the draft to become a high production midfielder.
I'm really intrigued how we'll go in this draft. We as supporters want quick outside mids who are elite kicks but the club just needs to get the best players at our picks. Quality is quality and let's face it we just need to add guns at every line. If we went Grundy who is a ruck or Plowman who is a key rebounding back with one of our first picks (5 or 6) don't be surprised. Haha I can already see the carry on if we get another Ruck.Comment

Would Stringer at pick 5 be as good as Hogan for pick 5 and Grant?[COLOR="#FF0000"][B]Western Bulldogs:[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR="#0000CD"][B]We exist to win premierships[/B][/COLOR]Comment

Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?
That's a risky call either way. Hogans is 17 and by all accounts has has shown great potential as a key position forward. Stringer exploded as a 17 year old and prior to breaking the leg was in poll position to go as number one in the draft. Both are risks. Also Grant finally getting his act together is also a risk if we trade him out.
Personally I'd rather keep Grant and draft a player who will play next year rather than wait 12 months for a 17 year old from Perth.
Also we are likely to have some good picks next year as I can't see us improving much on this years result given the amount of young blokes on our list who'll Macca will want to develop next season. There will be other key position forwards up for grabs in other years maybe even Hogan

Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?
Whoever gets the best player wins a trade.
If we get Hogan - no matter WHAT we give up - we win the trade.
What is it about him? The fact that he is a 191cm key position forward who will jump at a contest from 5 back even if he is NO CHANCE of marking it. He likes contact and likes hurting people. He plays angry.What should I tell her? She's going to ask.Comment

Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?
That is my recollection.
Darling is only 190cm. Fevola 191cm. It doesn't matter. If you jump at the ball hard and take it at the highest point - with your left knee collecting one opponent and your right knee connecting with another - 191cm is plenty big enough.What should I tell her? She's going to ask.Comment

Re: 2012 Draft - Who do you like?
I understand MJP.
So if we get the second mini pick for Hogan what would you think it would cost? And with the left over 1st rounder who would you take and why?
Also what if we do get Hogan and we are in a position to draft Boyd next year? It's not unthinkable lets face it.Comment
