Good chat. Seemingly a down to earth fella - going to be easy to cheer for.

Reckon the coaching staff got sick of watching Petty get out marked every time the ball went inside 50 last season. That, or they're thinking about relieving JVR of his ruck duties next season.

My draft philosophy is simple - pick Werribee players and prosper. Welcome AJ!

Jeffo is playing ones (hopefully), Fullerton sucks, Verrall is a ruck and Melksham isn't a tall.

JVR back up. Needed a key forward who competes in the ruck, so it makes sense in that regard.

That's a Randy Savage flying elbow drop.

Wow. Didn't see that coming - we were linked with 2 other Werribee players, and wound up picking the bloke no one expected to be picked up. Work horse. Massive heart. "Absolute wild card" is the message I just received from one of my Werribee contacts.

Reminds me of Josh Kennedy.

Mail, or speculating? He'd provide a pretty good Viney impersonation in the event Jack was injured or needed a week off.

Leader.

Draft day! My order of preferred outcomes, based on the rumoured candidates for our picks - 1. Langford and Tauru 2. Langford and Allan 3. Tauru and Allan 4a. Langford and Lindsey 4b. Tauru and Lindsey Go Dees.

Feel like I'm taking crazy pills - just don't see it with this fella. In JT we trust etc though.

God, I hope not, Lindsay is extremely vanilla to me. He's not a Houston / Gulden level user, doesn't win a heap of contested ball and doesn't stand out athletically. Feels like a St Kilda player.

That's the dream outcome, if we don't trade down.

And Jackson. And Windsor. We only miss when we DON'T take the bolter.

Speculation or mail? I'd do the Giants swap in a heartbeat.

Oh hell yeah - flying Viking come on down.

Thanks - good to know.

Just wish Spargo found more of the ball.

Fair enough. Was Sidebottom an elite runner as a junior? Keep in mind Miers, who you've also compared Reid to, is an elite runner now as well.

Agree - I think DS might view the Gryan comp as a negative, but I'm a big fan and think the role he plays is vitally important in modern footy. Not sexy but worth pick 9 (probably pick 11 on draft day).

Reckon his top 20% outcome is Sidebottom, not Mitchell. Even considering that, he's still a top 10 pick in my view.

Class, class, class. Lack of size and athleticism scares the hell out of me, but I still won't be surprised if he winds up playing 250+ games and retires with an AA blazer when it's all said and done.

Appears there are only two of us on the bandwagon, but there is still time for people to come to their senses.

Watched Parish live multiple times in his draft year, and he is my low end comp for Smith.
