Essendons Draft Decisions

Maca24 · November 23, 2011, 08:40:37 PM

Who do you think we should take with our first pick?
I'm really hoping Grigg can slip to pick 31. Although unlikely :P

Cicjose · November 23, 2011, 08:47:24 PM

elliot kavanagh or clay smith

everyone else should be gone by then

Elliot Kavangh, he has brillant disposal skills and could complement both Jobe Watson and the entire Essendon midfield very well.

Jobe Watson IS the entire Essendon midfield :P

I don't like Crozier much, so I hope we avoid him.

In a perfect world I would like to see us select Kavanagh 1st round and Mitchell Grigg with 31 8)

And Stanton.
BAZINGA!
I hear Hird was looking at getting another ruckman at the draft. Why must he act so stupid?

Maca24 · November 23, 2011, 08:58:58 PM

He won't. Atleast I hope not :P
Midfielders and a forward IMO.

I think Kavanagh or Grigg would be good. If we get Kavanagh and Grigg makes it to 31 Essendon would be stoked I reckon.

We lost Jenkins & Hille is old so why wouldn't we get another ruck to develop? Need at least 4 on the list...

Maca24 · November 24, 2011, 12:19:09 AM

looking over our list a ruck wouldn't hurt...
although it could wait until next draft.

Found some things interesting...
Carlisle is 197cm.
Ryder is only 196cm.
Hooker is 196cm.
Gumby is 197cm and 97kg - thought he was skinnier.
Watson is 190cm and 94kg - Is built like a KPP :P
Fletcher is 198cm

Our backline is bloody tall!

I have heard a pretty strong rumour up here that you are also considering Fev.

Because we have 2 good ruckman ATM, but we don't have a good midfield at all. We need to be getting as many midfielders as possible at the draft.
At the next draft, yes pick up the best ruckman we can get. But not ATM.

Don't think we need him, but if they do get him then you won't see me complaining :)

If he slips, he's been touted highly. The injury this season is making him slip otherwise he'd be a top 10 pick. Hopefully we can get Grigg at 31 although unlikely. Basically the same as Torps said :P.

If Fev can get his stuff together, he's actually not a bad bloke and Fev & Hurley could be a bit to handle :P

Don't think we need him but would definitely be pleased if we did pick him up.
