Reasonable case put forward. Although, on the flipside with Cheney being traded, McNamara delisted our depth for down back has eroded a little. Strauss is no guarantee either to make it - I hope he does.

Nothing against Darling, Lynch as I'm sure they are in the mix. As I've stated previously I think these two might go before pick 12.

Any chance we might rookie Tommy Mac? Can we?

We can & we might.

As E25 stated ^... we could.

Draft combine:

7th in kicking assessment

9th in 20 metre sprint

1st in agility run

10th in standing vertical jump

Would be a massive bargain at pick 12 but I think GC will snap him up pretty quickly.

Ah hindisight.....as young Billy is given the heave ho by Carlton

Made me look up who in fact we took at 12 in 2010 and it wasn't pretty.

On a positive that 2010 first round has not exactly excelled itself as a class ... perhaps 4 or 5 good ones out of the 27 first round picks.

That draft was a shocker and there wasn't a lot of stars available at pick 12.

In fact, emerging from that train wreck with McDonald and Howe make doesn't make it too bad for us in retrospect.

Reopen the Jack Darling thread. Or the Lucas Cook thread.  It was a shocker. Salvaged Howe and McDonald luckily. 

Darling was a killer.  Discipline issues apparently!! Top 5-10 draftee who slipped 26.

7 years. 150 games.  270 goals later.

Mmmm, id put the context of J Kennedy taking the best forward week in week out, as helpful to those aforementioned stats...vs being in our rabble...Jimmy Magner drilling it down his throat...*cough* 

Thank god this isn't a thread on someone suggesting we pick him up.. I would have deactivated my account if it was

A few other pretty handy late pickups though too Luke Parker at 40, Viv Michie at 44, Paul Puopolo at 66, Jeff Garlet at 85 (promoted rookie), Cameron Pedersen as a rookie (for North), Jeremy McGovern as a rookie, Michael Hibberd in the pre season.

Ahhh, the old draft lotto at it's best.
