Our draft record under Derek Hine et al

[AN_Inkling]

^^I'm very confident with McClarty either forward or back. He has the competitiveness and work rate needed and that's more than half the battle for a tall. I've very little doubt he'll make it as an AFL player.

Stewart tore it up against us at the weekend. Absolute gun. Got a goal against Jack Madgen, too. Don't know why we didn't take him when we had the chance. We really lack for height in the VFL side, in places - he could help a bit with that.

Reading a number of posts about the poor performance of our recruiting team over the past 6/7 years.

But 2 names that have been missed so far are the 2 we should have had, James Stewart and Jake Kelly under father son.

What a difference they would have made on the weekend.

James Stewart, 10 kicks, 6 handballs, 4 tackles, 7 marks as a key forward delivering 3 goals 2 behinds.

Jake Kelly, 11 kicks, 7 handballs, 2 tackles, 6 marks......playing defense in one of the grand final teams from last year.

Jake Kelly could play the Darcy Moore roll down back which would mean Moore and Stewart could combine as twin targets up forward. Moore could Ruck 10% of the time with Grundy.......then we are not talking about Cox. All of a sudden we have a spine....a young spine. Darcy could swing back or forward on need and we could draft another young tall next year.

A lot of focus rightly so on Buckley, but I place the list management & recruitment decisions the number 1 reason for the situation we are in today

i thought our rookie, Magden, cleaned up Stewart in the Essendon reserves on the weekend. Doesnt seem like a game changer to me. Who would he replace in our forward line?

I watched a lot of Stewart when he was in Syd.

He will have games where he dominates the VFL and he did the NEAFL.

He's too soft for AFL and I reckon most teams know it.
Right now I'd be picking Mihocek ahead of him comfortably and then Mclarty, Lynch and even Madgen.

I also think between him and his old man he has an attitude of entitlement. Right decision in the end.

I would though take J Kelly. Be great to pick him up after we bring his Bro into the club !!!!

So he truly is like Corey Gault.

Did we have dibs on the Starcevich debuting for Brisbane?
