Hope you are correct....but...has a hell of a lot of development to do.I feel they will try to develop him as a ruckman.

I thought he was a ruck type. Where did you get this information from.?

Bailey Williams at 198 cms and 95 kgs was available at a few of our picks. PS. Drafting for needs by the way doesn't mean you get a crap list. I would trust JT to draft a type of player we need because of his skill and talent at the job. Are you telling me that we will always pick best available over need? So if we lose Preuss and Max we won't look for a ruck, come on. JT actually said we "need" more mids and defenders and he selected them. Personally I think we are now a bit top heavy on mids and defenders and light on one experienced ruck reserve and another developing key forward. Do you disagree? I second your thoughts

We could have got a few worthwhile ...but got none....very disappointing in my opinion.

As stated Tom has been picked up by North to replace Pruess.We had the chance this draft to pick up a tall, such as Campbell, but didn’t ....did not pick up a tall at all. We have only 2 Rucks, and 3 tall forwards on our list inclusive of T.Smith ...to me a bad draft,especially the rookie pick.

Agree

Because he is a better player than Preuss in my opinion.

Got to many of the same type .Should have picked up a tall ruck/ forward in my opinion.

Tom will be picked up by North as a rookie , by the 1st December.....Demons loss ...( for North - a replacement for Preuss ).

I think this draft was poor, to much similar types..needed a tall forward and a ruck type in my opinion..

Wouldn’t pick 91 do?

I agree, this should be looked into ..

It is my understanding,Tom has just been interviewed by Essendon ,awaiting Woosha to come back to Essendon to qualify things He would make a wonderful get in my opinion.Got a 72 hit out one week followed up by 60 in the VFL.Not bad indeed.Killed Preuss when they came up against each other.Pruess was not really rated in the VFL this year.He had quite a disappointing year.Tom would still have a 5/6;years ahead of him with a very strong developed body already. i hope J-Money, Vines and John have a real good look at this bloke.....a great pick up indeed.

It is my understanding that we can have 40 players on the senior list, plus rookies, plus B grade rookies. If that is correct, we will have currently 34 on the senior list.With 5 trade picks, what happens to the other.Appreciate a question like this, please

Need to pick a quick outside mid and another tall in our first two picks in my opinion .

You are absurd.If indeed, a player is worth considering, it should be or it’s our option to mention it.

Makes good sense....did well in this position as a youngster.I watched him play spectacularly of West Aust under 18 .Actually he was drafted as a 17 year old playing in this position.

That’s the problem, we have gone for kids and they have failed...need mature bodies for this role.

Tom is my neighbour.

Note he is only 26- right age ....had many tissue issues but body right now.I hear Gawn has pumped his tyres up well.When I see him next, I will call him Chunky Soup.

Tom played ruck and forward for Bulldogs VFL this year, knows Hannan real well. Had over 70 hit outs one game followed by 60 next game with 6 contested marks. Kicks like a mule - these new rule changes will suit him down to the ground. Had several injuries but fully on top of them now. Looks like being delisted - great pick up in my opinion. Have recommended him to recruitment. Known to Chris Connolly. To me a great pick up if can pass medical. Better than Preuss in my opinion. More experienced, better ruckman whom can go forward and kick goals.

It is my belief that Tyson is at least a second round pick ,The North Nelbourne back up player is a 3rd round pick up at best seeing Tom Hickey has gone to West Coast fir a second round pick.Your thoughts, please ?

Can anyone please explain how this works , how do we get priority etc....I understand we have part of the Northern Territory’s and Dandenong and district.When does it start from ?(what year ?).Can we pick from the Dandenong stingrays etc.

A consideration but Preuss is the logical placement, although I know that ScottLucas has discussed Tom Campbell ( Doggies) with the Dees.If he could get his body right, he could be a ripper pick up

Been told today by a very reliable source that Preuss to MFC is Definately on, confirmation to be made after finals.
