- Start date
or take him (assuming he is available) with their next selection and Sonsie hopefully slides to us
Sonsie, MacDonald etc would be complimentary to that trio. Reckon both will be better than Ross. RCD is a totally different type. Both probably similar to Dow but I like all 3.
Not against the idea of a Houli replacement here but thought the first choice would have been Fahey.

Don't believe everything you read.
This draft was always going to be unbelievably hard to guess the top 10 let alone the top 20.
If this was The Melbourne Cup.
I would be have a few 30-1's in my trifecta.
There's no form line.
Freo's list is seemingly starting to shape up nicely for the future
That is very true, let's just hope we land gold from here, there's still potential for a nice batch.
For those interested, my mail tells me we wanted Willmont and were surprised he went the pick before.
And Geelong are filthy at us switching to Brown which makes it all the better.
And of course I’m wrapt on getting Bubkes. I fought a lonely fight for him from day one with very little support.
We simply could not pass on a KPD who can swing forward. Fills a desperate need.
Then we poach Taranto next year.
Go Tigers

I’ve never really understood the “rank by talent alone” theory - how do you compare Hobbs vGibcus? Maybe the recruiters rank the players by talent by position type - so for our first pick it was a choice of #1 ranked defender vs 5th ranked mid and for the second it was #1 running defender v #6th ranked mid? This makes sense of the Tom brown-with-no-e selection. But when the pool shrinks (and there are say 30mids v 5 small forwards left), it will get trickier… some funky maths and a little magic dust required
That's pretty much what they do.
Top echelon of mids, keys, flankers rucks etc.
Then next tier, etc.
Assuming Wanganeen-Milera can be included in the "medium" (small) defender category, that makes Brown the 5th ranked so far this draft behind also Sinn, Chesser, & Wilmot. 5 in the top 20 seems excessive and perhaps an indictment on the quality available/lack of key position players?
Every phantom draft in the country had Wilmot to the Lions at 16, how could we be surprised?
Thought you may have learnt tonight that phantom drafts don’t mean much
