2006 NAB National AFL Draft

[mexican_radio]

Is it just me or is there a lot of height amongst the top draftees?
We took Jack R at 192.4 cms and you might think that is tall. Eight of the players drafted before him are all taller...
Gumbleton 197
Hansen 196
Leuenberger 203
Thorp 194
Reid 196
Brown 193
Everitt 193
Frawley 192.7

something in the food or water these days seems to be making all these 18 yr olds monsters!

It gives us the opportunity of picking up a couple of speculative talls in the rookie draft.

 

[Bill James]

I weep everytime I am reminded of that hole in the 25-27 bracket.

 

[U2Tigers]

I am still concerned about inside mids.

I mean we got Conners with a steal, but is he the hard nut this team needs.

We need a Kirk, Ling, Harvey, Voss. We obviously have players like Polo coming through, but I think 1 more would of been nice.

Although Foley is looking hard as now.

Yes, one more genuine small midfielder would be good.
Maybe Leigh Adams in either of the December drafts.

Yeah, however Phantom, not to small. Its actually a big bodied mid we need.

So do i cos it contains Tivendale and Hall ffs.

That makes me bust into tears.

 

[Skills]

Perhaps the solid tier pushing through like a wave will one day wipe those tears.

Yep am happy with a hard at it midfielder, and a Key Defender with 2 of our 3 rookie and psd picks maybe a ruck type with the third to cover all bases, heheheh dont think Kingsley falls into those categories now does he.

Good feedback to my height query, cheers fellas!

Looking at the list Phantom made, it indicates we might need Knobel to have a better season to help Simmo. Who is our third ruckman?
