Re: Psd

Lower I can live with, but I'd like to see us take the best kid with the other pick

Can't see that happening, our other pick seems to be saved for another rookie upgrade. On numerous times I have heard them say this so I'd be surprised if they changed their minds.

Re: Psd

I'd be happy for the club to add Nick Lower to the list. Has played some good footy, can find the ball and would be a good chance to slot into half back and fill a role.

Much prefer him to Bate.

Re: Psd

I haven't seen much of Lower so I can't comment, but if he can play off HBF that would be handy.

Callum Bartlett has been delisted by Brisbane primarily because of his injuries. He's had two knee reconstructions and had it not been for that, he probably would have been a top 10 draft pick or thereabouts a couple of years ago. Apparently the Lions intend on putting him back on the list as a rookie, but I'd love to be bold and throw him an offer.

Pre-injury he was a dynamic midfielder with incredible agility, explosive pace and good skills.

He's a bit like Greg Broughton, prolific ball getter who can play multiple roles in midfield and defense.

Don't mind that idea either.

No talk of a rookie upgrade now so it looks like it's going to be 2 out of these 4 players.

Nick Lower
Matthew Bate
Ben Duscher
Brett Goodes

I think they'll go with the bolded. If Goodes was around 25 - 26 he'd be my first choice.

Same here, I wonder if Goodes will look back and think what could have been. He seems to have talent in the VFL.

Re: Psd

Anyone know anything about Duscher? Sounds like his nickname would pick itself...

Looks like Lower is already in, from the sounds of Mac in that article.

edit: I see there is a bit of a writeup on him in another thread - a midfielder. Let me guess - hard at it and of good character

Re: Psd

I think if it's two they'll grab Lower and Bate. Lower was told he'd be re-drafted by Dockers so he must have an idea that we're going to draft him. I'm not as down on Bate as some people seem to be. I think he moves pretty well and doesn't mind the contest. Could see him doing a job for us if given the opportunity.

Re: Psd

Were do you reckon Kurt Tippett will end up. Is it worth having another shot at picking him up. Sydney is most likely going to get him.

I'm with you. A swooping left-foot hff would suit us nicely.

I think he suffers from being a swooper in that people deduce that he lacks the willingness to win his own pill. Half-forward flankers have had to bear this criticsm since forever.

Big price on his head and will possibly have to sit out the first half of the season - I'm saying no thanks.

Agree. I think he's able to play the receiver role and also win his own pill, which is obviously what Macca likes in a player.

Maybe with his situation it's best we just leave that.

In the press conference Macca actually says we are looking at 5 players for the 2 spots, 3 of whom have 'proven AFL experience', which begs the question, who is the mystery fifth player? Josh Toy perhaps?

Josh Toy is a bit of risky one as his playing ability might be hampered by a serious heart condition.
