Come on nino, thatās way too glass half empty. Looking for ifs and buts and maybes is not the way to do it. We got a great pick in McGrath. Enjoy having him and look to the future. Even if there was a standout who says they donāt do a knee or have chronic injuries or whatevers. What then?

Bring the standout number one pick in your draft year and being clearly better than the number one pick in any other given year are two very different things

Heās better than McCluggage so far and thatās who I wanted. Happy to be wrong.

Weāre tough markers here on blitz.
When Myers comes in to protect him, the kid will amass disposals and clearances. He, not Shiel might be the one to attract a tagger.
From the AFL Site:
Andrew McGrath
Itās been floated that the new 6-6-6 rules will benefit explosive midfielders who can get extra penetration and distance from their clearances. Should that be the case, McGrath is built in the perfect mould. Having drifted both across half-back and on a wing in his first two seasons, the former No.1 draft pick seems destined to become a full-time centre-square player in 2019. He played the entirety of Thursday nightās game out of the middle, where his breakaway speed was influential. He won 25 disposals and kicked two classy goals in the final quarter, while his ability to sidestep out of trouble and hurt opponents with his turn of speed was evident throughout. - Riley Beveridge

Thereās always a lot of fuss about #1 draft picks in the years that follow, if they deviate even slightly off being Rising Star, #1 in the comp indexed for age and position, etc etc it becomes a massive issue in the footy mediaā¦
yep - you can also have more than one standout player. You can have many elite players. You can also win with a champion team as well as a team of champions. There is more than one way to get to the ultimate prize.

My personal superstitions about positive articles TRIGGERED
What some people miss on Andy McGrath is he would be in the top 5 guys in the entire comp to bring into your team from a potential leadership role.
The guy is next level. He is probably the best young leader in the AFL. You donāt need a title to hold that role and he will get a title soon.
Also, the guy is a winner and competitive beast. I honestly wouldnāt have asked for more and I think he will exceed expectations.

Whatās this? Has the AFL deemed that someone else was actually the #1 pick that year?

Sorry to say but we could have picked Taranto, McCluggage or McGrath and walked away winners, at this moment they have all been as good as each other in their best games and all have done an amazing job for their teams.
All 3 could be picked at no1 if it was redone right now, 3 excellent young players.
If anything Brodie and SPS are the 2 falling behind.
I still want McCluggage, that game where Brisbane lost to the Roos last year by 3 points and McCluggage had 27 possessions and 3 goals was great.
