    Didn't they try and pick him up with a second rounder ?
    Seem to recall our M.O was to grab him before Adelaide

      A few worthy of consideration.
      I'd love for us to nab Docherty - exactly the sort of player we need. May eventually transition to midfield but a rebounding HBFer who can find the ball? He'll be a fully established senior player just as Goodes is slowing down.

        Take their 4th rounder. If Howard wants to go home, good luck to him.

            If we use our spare 5% on Crameri. How would we afford him? Not sure Cross was on $700,000?

              Cooney would be on less than he was, as would Gia.

              We should have a fair bit of cap space.

                I don't think we'd have he profile for him. He'd want to go to one of the Big Clubs.
                They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                  Because Looney was building up some serious long serice leave in the medical department.

                    They also took Stefan Martin & had Huddo for a year.

                      That's true, but you'd think they really didn't need another up and coming young run gun with an early pick.

                        Only Port had a pick above them - aside from the GWS murdering of the first round. They took the next best available in all their eyes - which turned out to be Sam Docherty afterwards - who now wants out lol.

                        They did miss on Clay and Brandon Ellis. They did miss Ouch.

                        Having another look, their next pick was Elliot Yeo ! Another who hates the sunshine ! 2011 draft is turning out to be a nightmare for them.

                          Saw him live at the Gabba this year. He sure has got pace. I like the way he plays.

                            In that case we're going to enjoy beating whoever he joins.

                              What's going on at Brisbane. At this rate they will have over 40 picks this draft...

                              Now Staker wants out and was seen at Carlton today. That's Polec, Yeo, Docherty, Longer, Karnezis, Staker. That's 1/3 of their starting 18...
