KPF? I’ve heard of the twin towers forward line strategy but we’d entering unprecedented quadruple tower territory

Agree - I think we want a winger / good outside midfielder as a first priority.  The fact that we didn't go after Phillips or Polec to me suggests we might have our eye on someone in the draft.

Would also love to see us go after another pressure forward too.

This. If available, take multiple small forwards. With our current game plan, the game is won and lost in this area.

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

Smith is not best 22

[DubDee 25,854]

I’m usually not too picky but that thread title is crying out for a comma, maybe a full stop or too, some brackets and certainly a question mark

to the topic -

quick running back

winger

small forward 

back up ruck- consider mature recruits

[Pennant St Dee 13,173]

Medium size players needed who can have a combination of at least 2/3 of

use the ball well

have pace

run and carry

win their own ball

intercept

win groundballs/apply pressure 

hit the scoreboard 

1 or 2 players always slide, I think 1 from Mcrae, Perkins, Chapman will slide. Wouldn't mind taking one of them with one of Carroll, Powell or Henry with picks 18 and 19.

Pick 28 best available for our needs if Downie is available then bid for him here

Quick skilled players - ideally versatile. Get 3 if we can but I'd settle for 2.

Key defender. We need a May replacement developing ASAP.

I’ve read it a few times now and think I’m more confused than when I read it the first time.

I wonder where Oliver would be going if he was in this draft without playing his final year?  Not only is it compromised with the academy picks, they havent played for 12 months+.  Better to be lucky than good. Throw a dart.

The type of players I would go with the 4 picks are:

Ruckman

Small forward

wingman

halfback

Hope we dont waste a pick on a ruckman.    We already have two developing young rucks.

It will be a mature ruckman.. I would use pick 50. If we get Phillips we won't use 50.

Ok yeah, I thought you meant another 18 year old ruck. We do need a mature ruckman.

Hi Werridee, definitely  agree with 3 of those, but why would we accept pick 31 for Preuss, then use pick 18 for a junior ruckman?

 

edit: sorry just saw the rest of the thread, already answered my question.

I'm a big fan of Jack Carroll from East Freo @Pennant St Dee. I personally can't see Mcrea last until our picks which is a bummer because he's an enormous talent as well.

I would be stoked with the Carroll/Perkins Combo.

[BDA 22,751]

Longest thread title ever.

Another Pickett type and wingman. Must be skilful and pacy.

Other than that pick the best player available although i do like the suggestion of a KPD. May is no longer a spring chicken.

[drdrake 3,163]

Outside mids and small mid size forwards

[DistrACTION Jackson 8,734]

No way we need to look at a developing KPD. May is only 28, will probably play another 4 seasons. Plus sides have shown if you're in the window you can easily pluck key position players from other sides who want to chase flags. We've also got Petty developing nicely and is a good size at 197cm.

We need pace & skill and a cheap back up ruck.

[Chelly 810]

The best KP players will all go early.
