2019 trading, drafting and list management: players and personnel

We had nothing to lose by doing that

Chad Warner - Aussie Rules Draft Central

- - - Updated - - -

Right kind of player. Unheralded. A bit like McInerney last year and I'm not disappointed in him yet. We didn't expect Rowbottom either.

Fox rated warner pick 78, Bianco rated at 25.

He was projected to go much later so a somewhat surprising selection.

The next Nick Smith?

Chad Warner was ranked at 78 on Fox Footy

KB is clearly on a different wavelength to everyone the last 3 years ... time will tell if this is good thing or not

Now after all the pick trading, we have 2 picks left in the 80's

[bloodspirit]

Amazing that we like him better than Rantall or Bianco!

Interested to see how our backline will look in 1-2 years time now. With Rampe, Aliir, Melican, Maibaum and now Gould as KPDs.

Excited by Gould's comparison to Shannon Hurn. But I have heard he needs at a least 1-2 years to work on his conditioning.

Seems a real hard nut, according to the Draft Central profile. Maybe more Luke Parker?

Perhaps he was the best pure inside mid left , that would explain overlooking Bianco who is described as very much an outside player. Rantall not so sure ..

Seems that we didn't rate Rantall. I wonder why that is? Is his disposal that dodgy? Then again, maybe we're not drafting Victorians this year?

Seems to be a genuine concern or that we think the Vic media is hyping up Vic players (which definitely isnt new)

By everyone, you mean the media pundits, longmile, and that doesn't worry me at all.

Has played midfield until now (like Smooch pre-draft) but looks like he'd be very well suited to playing a lockdown role (with disposal not being his strong point but fierce determination, work ethic and endurance being his fortes).
