As I posted somewhere, if we think we can get a bloke like perhaps Oliver, who is not too far behind Parish, at pick 7, we could very well pull the trigger on a big forward at 3 and Sam is probably the best available at 3.
I wonder if we are prepared to pass the guy we want,if we can get our next two. I suppose if we feel that there is not too much between the one we want and the one we take first, they might consider it.
And it starts with a draft, which by monday will be only 8 days away, with the Rookie Draft another 3 days away. Also, tomorrow will see the start of the WADA Appeal.
Could easily have kicked over 50, with the many sitters he missed. With better players around him and knowing our game better, he could have another improved year.
If Cal Twomey is correct with his suggestion that the Bombers might take Oliver, then we have available two or three of Curnow, Weideman, McKay or Francis with 7. He also suggests that GC are hot on Milera if he is still there.
The Bombers taking Oliver opens it up a bit for us. We will know soon enough.
PS. The draft is live on Fox Footy at 6.30 PM on the 24th.
