Yeah I am hoping that we delist a couple more so we can use pick 67 and PSD #1
Would be quite happy if one was used on Wilkes (hopefully pick 67)

correct but better to have a lot of talls around the same age than none at ball. at least you solve your problem down the track rather than still be in the probem down the track.Col.W.Kurtz said:but not all the same age, a 25 y.o has different developmental needs to a 19 y.o.

it seems no one has a problem loading up with smalls mediums all around the same age but dont want to load up with talls when good ones are even harder to find.
due to terrible list management we have age gaps in our list theres not a lot you can do about it so we have to live with it. taking players because they fit a certain age bracket is fraught with danger. you take them because of their ability.
if jr schulz and hughes are good enough theres 2 possies there for them now chf and third tall option if they are versatile theres also third tall in defence available. look at wce they have 7 kpd theres only a place for 3 in the team. 6 kpf again theres only room for 3 in the team they have just 2 ruckmen its here where they are deficient.Col.W.Kurtz said:It is easier to find role for small mids because there are more of them on the field at any one time and they are more flexible in use. JR, Schulz and Hughes are not helped by the fact they are essentially competing for the same spot. It's not a huge issue though, no reason to not draft people.

I'd much prefer he put himself into the PSD only, where we would be a certainty to get him with our pick #1.
Good to see im not the only one who rates McNamara(although he isnt a tall)Jase87 said:The Eagles would actually have preferred to have kept Beau Wilkes. Its simply our abundance of talls on the senior list that has denied him his chance. Spangher, Mitch Brown, Staker, Hunter, Jaymie Graham, Glass, Bones are all ahead of him that can play tall in defence. And we elevated Chad Jones who kicked a fair few goals and hit plenty of goal posts in the WAFL and AFL this year (if only he could put them through the middle more often! Eternal frustration with him) and Jamie Mcnamara (love the look of this kid from East Freo, next Matt Priddis story).
And Guy Richards is a hack.
always rated him as a junior always found lots of the ball stood out at colts level.should have gone in the nd. hes a e freo boy and i saw plenty of him.checkside said:Good to see im not the only one who rates McNamara(although he isnt a tall)
