Are we prepared to admit we've had a great draft yet?

[Legs Akimbo]

Well Legs he was just on the outer at Geelong because they had a great team(did i just say that..gulp) this year.

Are you talking about Geelong Falcons or Cats?

Falcons.

I dreamt last night that the draft was so ordinary, we passed on pick number 26 and I was FURIOUS!

Just like you lost 100 and found 5.

I dreamt last night that I was late for work as it took me so long to get dressed with all the charity ribbons/bandanas/badges/tea towels(I was wearing them as capes)/flowers/wrist bands that were needed for this Friday

Are we all prepared to admit yet that we had a cracking draft??????

premature ejaculation. You can get help for it these days.

However, the likes of Mattner, another Irish, beanpole, and pick11 is enough to give most people a stiffy.

Pick 11 - Undernourished midfielder 55Kg

Pick 26 - Undernourished defender 74Kg

We might see them play in 3 years if they don't get worms along the way.

Based on current lists, the only three teams that Playfair would have trouble walking straight into are Geelong, Adealide and West Coast who all have regular tall defenders playing well.

All the others he would be given a crack first up and if he can produce would become a regular.

By no means is a walk-up start for us by the end of next year, he will have to hold his spot but it's certain he will be there come round 1 and given a fair run at it to hold down his spot long term.

Mattner - essentially swapped for two 23/24 year old premiership players
Playfair - played one senior game last year which he single handedly lost for Geelong. Known Gumby
The Irish kid - Agreed lots of upside, but has never played AFL before!
Orreal - a guy named after a biscuit 205cm who has never played AFL before. Probably will not make it.

We still have picks 11, 26 - well who would know.

Craig Bird - agree will be a great pick up

Overall, pretty average really.

Optimism with a capital O.

Hey Cruiser, on Monday look under T for therapist in the Yellow Pages that might help dampen your fury.

[BigD]

I'll reserve my judgement until I've seen these guys play and what we come up with with our two picks.

Then why were the swans the only club interested in him?

Club needs basically, he fits the need that the coaching staff have identified, whatever that is.

[ernie koala]

According to DST, he would walk into 13 clubs starting team.....I doubt it.

[Rob-bloods]

Playfair worth a crack, may also be a last resort ruck if injury problems occur. Mattner a good pickup. The youngsters are free so what the hell, we have maintained our top 2 picks, I was sorry to lose Dempster and Schneids but we had to freshen up the list , overall not a bad result and the draft watchers seem to think there is reasonable talent down to 11. There coould yet be something in the preseason draft although our salary cap may be tight.
