Ok we have two picks and after landing Menzel do we still need my boy Ah Chee?

Adelaide's picks are the #9 and #13, never have we had two first rounders and not often do we get a pick inside 10!

So, I want two of Riley Bonner, Ryan Burton, Callum Ah Chee, Luke Partington and Wayne Milera. Others have us taking Talls Sam Weideman and Harry HcKay.

I want Partington and Ah Chee and then Burton, the killer forward line I love and Parto the mid we need, but am wrming to Milera too

Thoughts?

Adelaide did get their star though, Wayne Milera with pick #11 will do nicely!

Johnathon Beech

Adelaide has rounded out its 2016 playing squad by selecting West Adelaide forward Jonathon Beech with the Club’s second and final pick in the AFL Rookie Draft.

Beech, 25, is a strong-marking forward, who can also run through the midfield. The West Adelaide premiership player kicked 35 goals in 2015 to finish eighth in the Ken Farmer Medal. He also averaged 18 possessions, seven marks, six score involvements and four inside 50ms in 22 SANFL games. Beech ranked No.1 in the league for total marks and third for contested marks.

Originally from Riverland club Barmera-Monash, Beech trained with the Crows in the lead up to last year’s Rookie Draft, but the cards didn’t fall his way on the day. He’s represented South Australia in the past three state games.

Paul Hunter

Adelaide has selected ruckman Paul Hunter with its first pick (No.13 overall) in the AFL Rookie Draft.

Hunter, 22, is an athletic big man who won the NEAFL Rising Star award in 2014, as well as the best and fairest award for his club, Redland.

He is a strong mark and likes to crash packs. His vertical jump scores at the state combine screening last month were ranked top six across Australia. Hunter also ran a 14.9 beep test and posted a time of 3.04 seconds in the 20-metre sprint.

Originally from Warner’s Bay near Newcastle in NSW, Hunter moved north in 2013.

I find them both a little strange tbh, but so did I about doodoo Doedee! We have guys of this size, in those positions, who can play a bit ???'

What do I know, one thing is for sure. Lowden wont be playing soon!

P.s Good luck Doedee in moving aside Hendo, Smith, Laird, Brown, Cheney, Shaw, Jaensch, Otten, Seedsman, Hampton, Van Berlo  .....  Still unsure what the AFC were trying to do here .....

Guess if Doedee is as raw and athletic (Hendo anyone) as they say, could be a super utility!
