Re: Predict who we will draft

Spencer White at #21 looks like a good option.
I have a feeling that with the history of Buddy & Jack Darling that both Stringer & Spencer are going to go early. Everyone seems to want a big forward and as it has been mentioned here, no club wants to be lumped with the tag that Richmond did as the team that overlooked a Buddy type for Richard Tambling type.
However, I dont know if we should risk one of our earlier picks on either Stringer or Menzel, pick #21 doesnt bother me as much, but #5 & #6 need to be used wisely. Probably Spencer will be the one available at #21.
I hope we get someone with speed and a good kick at 5 & 6. I used to think that the Eagle was overrated. Now he's gone I understand how important he was to our structure.

Dayle Garlett? Do we back ourselves in to turn the kid around?

We may consider him with pick 51.

Can't see us picking him up with his issues.

Should fit in well at St Kilda.

Good point, that often gets missed by our supporters. Certain defficiencies are often exaggerated while certain qualities are severely underrated.

Re: Predict who we will draft

Just looking at last year's draft, the first pick was actually about 7:10pm so my initial thought of 7:30pm might be misguided and people should be ready for picks to start just a bit after 7pm.

How am I going to secretly listen to this without my partner finding out how tragic I am?

Hopefully none of the kids we pick today will end up the coodabeen champions thread!

Do you know though divvydan that they are not counting down from pick 10 to pick 1 in this year's draft.

Re: Predict who we will draft

I'm hearing that our pick 22 (or 21 effectively) will be left field. Not sure what that means yet - other than it may surprise.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo. No "smokies" with high picks. Pick 84, ok. But not pick 21.

Also, I was not until now aware that Howard's nickname is "Smokey."

Re Kennedy as pick 21 (per Emma Quayle's article today).

I think this is completely wrong as from what I can google about Kennedy is is not the physical type that Macca prefers (witness Geelong). Too small and light weight.

....also selfish and no defensive side.

Looking forward to tonight....me and the three children gathered around the TV watching the draft on Foxtel. Family of bulldog tragics.

Yes I know that, just suspecting that the time the first pick is taken will be similar to last year.

Orourke
Macramé
O'Brien

He'll work well with Stringer

Terrific.

Surely we wouldnt pass up on Kennedy if available?

Will we be reaching for a player that we think another club may take otherwise before 51?

yes, he is supposed to be the next Harvey, so he ticks all those boxes.
