    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

        Feel like Collingwood make out like bandits, here's hoping I'm wrong.

                Fuller and Darley should allow us to move Johannisen into some midfield roles and I think this is a major upgrade to our running abilities and our kicking skills.

                In the early part of the 2013 season we had a lot of problems getting the ball out of the back line because too many players (except for Murphy) had a lot of trouble getting the ball out of our 50mtr defensive arc. I suspect we won't have that issue now because I can see Fuller being a zone buster for us. Darley also uses the ball well.

                    Good point. Might also mean that players like Murphy and Goodes don't have to take it on themselves to be creative every time, but can instead pick and choose the best moments.

                        Little shocked that players like Battersby, Templeton & Reynolds didn't get picked.

                        There's plenty of talent left on the bench.

                            What do you think will happen to them now.

                                Thorpe missed out - anyone surprised?

                                    Our position going into the draft was that by adding Crameri, we were more likely to add youngsters. We then drafted a 23yo.

                                    Not surprised.

                                        Missed a bit. Who went at pick 26 (the pick we traded to Essendon) for Crameri.

                                            No recycled players selected. Can't recall another draft like that.
