The Alex Carey Thread

[Mondê 525]

I'm a big wrap for him, great vision, great balance, ability to hit a target, and strong over the ball. Would love to get him with selection 18, even if we do grab two midfielders with 1 and 2. Looks like a Bernie Vince clone. What does everybody think? Would be handy for Trengove to come over to Vic with one of his SA mates.

I like the look of Carey, but there are only so many players we can take at 18

My vote goes for a KPF or Vardy.

I think we have the luxury of choosing for position at this stage of the draft since all the players likely to be available are said to be rated very much the same level.

i agree with the original post. Has very neat foot skills and i have no doubt that he will be in our mind for 18 (and maybe 11). Elite footskills

Normally I would agree Keyser, except I think it is very foolish to take a run of the mill KP just for the sake of having a balanced draft (not too many of one kind). I am definitely all for taking one of the Top 3 KP at 11, but at 18 I think the best available policy has to be put in place. I daresay Carey would tick a lot of boxes with Dean Bailey.

Yep, no arguments here.

If they see Vardy or a remaining KPP to be just as good as any of the players left, I say take the tall.

But if not, and Carey is the best left, by all means.

A KPF at some stage is an absolute must in this draft though.

I'd like to get a ruckman too, but I know little about the rucks available, and history has shown the rookie draft is a good spot for them.

Effing hope his height isn't 190cm to 193cm...

It's a shortcut to Crapsville apparently...

I like Vardy at 18 if available. How far will Carey fall? Pick 34 a possibility?
