      It would be so tempting, but for the sake of our list and where we are at present we have to take a midfielder who has great skills and is an above average decision maker.

      The better teams now run 6 to 8 deep in their midfield rotations and to start to rebuild we are going to need to add this type of midfielder to support the likes of McVeigh, Bird, Jack and Hannaberry.

      I thinl we can get by over the next four years with a combination of White, Johnston, Curry and Goodes as our key marking forwards.

      Our second pick could either be another mid (with out and out pace) or a KP defender.

        4 years is a long time in footy DST. Currie is already injury prone and Johnston has had a bad foot injury, so will he come up. Yes midfield strength is more important these days but you still have to find KPP. I read this week about the need for 6 - 8 midfield rotations and that the small players were making a comeback in the draft calculations.

        2 years ago smalls were taboo. How the cycles change quickly in our game.

        You still need talls up forward to mark and down back to spoil.

          Great, Nico. Just what we need. Another player who butchers the ball.

            I want Rohan, having watched the youtube video. A few phantom drafts have him available @ 6 and he has PACE

              Rohan would be my 2nd preference behind Martin.

              Martin is a type that you could build a midfield around i reckon.

                Some players, such as Geelong Falcon Gary Rohan and Bendigo's Dustin Martin were incredibly accurate.

                This sounds very promising.

                  For the same reason I want Jetta.

                    might mean they don't fall as far. we'll probably draft a solidly built slow, ok kick who is definitely not aboriginal if the status quo is maintained

                        Hm, surprised to be honest.. but i guess he wasn't going at full speed when performing those drills. His video was a mixed bag, i just can't get over that goal clanger!!

                          Goodsey has days when even his handballs frequently go to the opposition, and he's been known to miss the odd sitter, usually moments before he gathers the ball in the pocket, burns off three opponents and slots through a banana.

                          No idea what Rohan's skills are like because I've never seen him play, but you can't judge everything by a few minute YouTube reel.

                            Ouch, Tigers now keen on Martin at 3, which throws the whole thing out as Martin was our preferred option at 6.

                            I am not sold on Rohan (too much of the Daniel O'Keefe's about him) so it may mean Lucas now.

                              Yeah. Looks like he had a killer Draft Camp.
