PICK 3 POLL

[Demon Jack 6,738]

Just a general poll to see where the fans are positioned on terms of pick 3. I've obviously taken into account that Weitering and Schache will be taken at picks 1 and 2. Happy voting!

[Sideshow Bob 2,237]

NFI....

Torn between the idea of parish at 3 and either Weed or McKay at 7, or Weed at 3 and Parish/Oliver at 7 depending on who's left

[The Chazz 4,077]

Said Parish, but also said Toumpas. However, I think I'm more confident on this one as he is, by all reports, the clear best midfielder in the draft, and has speed (both of which we could do with more of).

[sue 9,005]

It would be interesting to add an option of "no idea, just praying the club gets it right".

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

If I were Jason Taylor I'd select Weideman at #3, then the best mid available at #7. Fortunately for everybody I'm not, so I'll just sit back and be happy with whoever we end up with.

[Deeoldfart 7,993]

I actually have nfi, but voted Curnow because of his strong body (Roos type of player), his potential to play mid or strong marking forward to support Hogan (versatility = another Roos type) and the 'high ceiling / game changing qualities' that some 'experts' are touting on his behalf. Many regard Curnow as a high risk / high reward selection, but Jason Taylor will not call his name at pick 3 unless he and his team are very confident about the high reward prospect. I have a gut feeling that they just might pull the trigger.

[KingDingAling 3,737]

Unless we are 100% Francis lasts to 7, then we have to pull the trigger at 3.

[MadAsHell 4,209]

Going with Parish only because I'm pretty confident one of Curnow or Weideman will still be there come Pick 7.

Don't get me wrong, if we take Weid or Curnow at 3 and then end up with say Oliver at 7 I'll still be happy, but think Parish's speed & outside class is a bit more important for us then more inside grunt given we have the likes of Jones, Viney, Vandenberg, Neal-Bullen already.

Good idea. Now in 2 years time we can have something to refer to when hindsight heroes start claiming they knew picking X was a mistake and we should have gone with Y

[daisycutter 29,317]

clayton oliver - 1 vote - now i wonder who that could be....................

[Pennant St Dee 12,658]

Picked Parish because outside of Mills I think he is the best Mid available. I also believe one of Francis, Curnow, Weideman will fall to our second pick and if not happy to pull the trigger on another Mid (Oliver) or take Collins or Harry Mckay

[binman 41,945]

If it was going to be Curnow, it won't be now.

From this article:

Curnow's agent Paul Connors, said in a statement Curnow had made "a poor choice".

"He was pulled over by police for driving through a stop sign. A breath test was requested to which Charlie, in his moment of panic, refused," the statement said.

"He was taken to a police station. Charges against Charlie could be being drunk in public, refusing breath analysis and not displaying P-plates."

Brett Anderson must be feeling sour right now.

Nfi.

I think I polled for Toumpas last time.....

[Deeoldfart 7,993]

Hmm. Just read about his escapades last night. Definitely does not fit the Roos no DH policy and now maybe more risk than reward ^ null post please!!

[TeamPlayedFine39 8,379]

I'm quite shocked by the poll resorts TBH. I voted for Parish but though the voting would be much more even than it is. You sometimes get the sense that the media is manufacturing this doubt and confusion so their reviews, previews, phantom drafts, etc have a bit of variety and a point of difference.

Parish looks like the right choice.

[Hobbits's 17]

Hey D'Land. Parish or Weideman for club. Went Darcy Parish. I hope the Weed lasts to 7, otherwise , Francis looks a pretty good and versatile selection, reads the play well.

[Davos 787]

Still Curnow for me.

[Young Blood 2,267]

Yeah Davos I think its still Curnow for me too. With Either Weid or Oliver at 7.

I just think we're not seeing it now but Curnow could be something special. The way he moves with the ball, his size and athleticism, contested marking and leading is great. Has huge potential and could be useful playing different roles for the team next year like a lot of our young guys do while developing under Roos. I think he could be the player of the draft. But who knows. I'm a nobody. (ps I'm ignoring the recent run in with the law Charlie had with my comments)

Would still be happy with Parish though

[Carn dees 108]

Went with Francis, really think he'l play over 200 games for which ever cub drafts him.

I think well take Parish and will be very happy with that selection also.

After seeing a few pictures of a scrawny 18 yo Nat Fyfe, cant wait to see Darcy grow in the red and blue.

I think you are dead right, Francis will be a beauty and if someone else takes him I will be livid.

Tell me please--are any of the other top choices able to kick a set shot goal from 50m like Francis can?

[Spin-it-to-Goodwin-it 579]

Just looking at Parish you get the feeling he might have a bit of growth left in him - ending up at 186cm ish perhaps?

Surely if the club has info to back this up through scans or alike, that would have put the most common lingering doubts on Parish that he's too small to rest.

[Chook 14,997]

"Who shall we pick at <Random Draft Number x>?

Is it [unknown Teenager #1], [unknown Teenager #2], or that cult favourite [unknown Teenager #3]?

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

Parish.

[Moneider96 1,045]

Francis or Parish
