Late Draft Pick

Yes but we should be able to get a player with speed and endurance, or with Simmonds' onball skills, at 51 (lol)

Yes Shaft, I don't know how tall he was when he was racking up all those stats but once you're are getting to 192 it's very possible you may not be the same sort of player. Not one anyway to be doing the sorts of things I am seeing some of these other onballers do.

Yes, interesting one Eastie. At one end end it makes a difference (Goodes wouldn't want to be much shorter.) But at the other end? Remember Troy Simmonds? When he came to us (and I am using a poor memory here) he was a former on baller(or at least a good possession winner) a few centimetres shorter who had now grown somewhat, (and yes some of us were drooling) (and I think he had spent some time out of footy). Anyhow, this all meant he was still a very versatile big man when we got him, but we weren't getting an onballer. And I have cooled, knowing that with Swift I was hoping for a very creative high possession onballer (that he still may become for all I know). But while I have cooled I wouldn't mind the Footy Dept picking him knowing that know what they're doing.

He doesn't look 192cms to me, in that interview with him. However, if he has in fact grown to 192cms I don't see that as a positive. He was a ball magnet when he was a few centimetres shorter but now he has moved into a different category of player which throws some doubt on to exactly what we would be getting. The comment that he hasn't really played any great games since he came back from his injuries adds to the doubt in my mind, a mind that was hell bent on him falling to 17 only a week ago.
