  1. Clearly the beep test is very important as demonstrated by the record holders...

    1 16.06 Billy Hartung 2013 2 16.02 Joshua Schoenfeld 2015 3 16.01 Caleb Daniel 2014 16.01 Jack Hiscox 2014 16.01 Brad Hill 2011 6 15.12 Will Hoskin-Elliott 2011 7 15.09 Nathan Drummond 2014 8 15.08 Tom Rischbieth 2005 15.08 Mark Berts 2000 10 15.07 Tom Sheridan 2011 15.07 Hayden Hector 2010

    Clearly having top 20 draft picks is important, as demonstrated by Watts, Toumpas, Trengove, Scully, Morton, Gysberts, Tapscott, Strauss, Blease....

    The beep test is the most important test at the combine.

    Just because you can run, doesn't mean you can play footy but you sure as sh!t can't play footy if you can't run.

  2. Emma Quayle has Darcy as the 11th best footballer of this draft.

    Hopper

    Weitering

    Mills

    Schache

    Kennedy

    Hipwood

    Francis

    Weideman

    Milera

    Oliver and then

    Parish

    Hopper is the only mid I would take over Parish.

  3. Top tall forwards these days are most often taken in the first round (excluding academy picks, F/S, etc.).

    We don't have a first round pick next year.

    Mids can come from anywhere.

    We are starting to build a deep, talented, young midfield and we most likely have Parish coming in, with Prestia a strong chance in 2016.

    In terms of tall forwards, we have Hogan, daylight, Dawes, Pedersen, daylight and King.

    Dawes and Pedersen are older and aren't world-beaters. King is speculative, although the signs are reasonably good.

    Pick 7 should be used on a tall forward. My preference is McKay due to his capability of being a 2nd ruck and his ceiling may be higher than Weideman due to his age and lack of development.

  4. Anyone that tall that can move, kick and bring others in to the play like Harry McKay must be considered.

    He would be more adept at being a 2nd ruck than Weideman and Curnow and the fact that he is a year younger seals it in my mind.

    McKay for pick 7.

  5. Poor kicking, a lack of clean hands and the fact that his biggest attribute as a mid is breaking feeble tackles and dishing it off makes me think that he won't cut it as a mid at AFL level.

    His contested marking is very good and is a big body so I think Darling-lite is what he will end up like.
