I thought some people might be interested in the results of Round 1 of the 2012 AFL draft (height and weight included) incase they missed it or would like to go over the list again: ROUND 1 1) GWS – Lachie Witfield (h:184, w: 77) 2) GWS – Jonathan O’Rourke (h: 187, 75) 3) GWS – Lachlan Plowman (h: 192, w: 85) 4) MFC – Jimmy Toumpas (h: 183, w: 74) 5) WBUL – Jake Stringer (h: 189, w: 87) 6) WBUL – Jack Macrae (h: 188, w: 75) 7) PORT – Oliver Wines (h: 187, w: 88) 8) BRIS – Sam Mayes (h: 187, w: 74) 9) RICH – Nick Vlastuin (h:186, w: 83) 10) ESS – Joe Daniher (h:201, w: 89) [FS] 11) CARL – Troy Menzel 12 GWS – Kristian Jaksch (h: 193, w: 85) 13) GCS – Jesse Lonergan (h:180, w: 84) 14) GWS – Aidan Corr (h: 194, w: 84) 15) NMEL – Talyor Garner (h: 186, w: 77) 16) GEEL – Jackson Thurlow (h: 188, w: 74) 17) FREO - Joshua Simpson (h: 181, w: 67) 18) COLL – Brodie Grundy (h: 202, w: 100) 19) COLL – Ben Kennedy (h: 175, w: 75) 20) COLL – Timothy Broomhead 21) WBUL – Nathan Hrovat (h: 174, w: 76) 22) SYD – Dean Towers (h: 189, w: 83) 23) BRIS – Marco Paparone (h: 193, w: 84) The team with the most amount of Round 1 picks was GWS with 5 picks, the tallest/heaviest player drafted was Brodie Grundy to Collingwood (202 cm and 100kg), the smallest player drafted was Nathan Hrovat to the Western Bulldogs (174 cm) and the lightest player drafted was Joshua SImpson to Fremantle (67 kg). Enjoy!

Same topic, different poll question. Be interesting to know what the consensus of 'Landers is here (if there is one).

Why is Todd Viney our General Manager of Player Development and Strategy? How does it make sense to put him in charge of draft selections when the biggest decision to make this year will be if and when to draft his son? It is liking asking a surgeon to operate on his or her own child. We should already have appointed someone else to this role, even on a temporary basis. It is not fair on Todd. It is not fair on Jack. Most importantly, it is not fair on the club.
