I think I meantbDay. 21 not 23.
Plus the idiots who think Heppell is a HBF

He does, but shanks em a little too often. Can be frustrating.
None of whom ever went near the midfield.

Our top 2 picks from last year are half backs that can run through the midfield in mcgrath and ridley.
Dunno where you guys are getting the link to this game the afl website doesnāt seem to have it on the advertised page.
McGrath sure plays a lot of lock down back pocket for a half back.
As for weāve turned Ridley into anything, prior to debut? Total rubbish.
Itās over, man.

Iām talking what dodoro says every draft. āSo yeh his a half back that we are gonna have develop to run through the middleā.
From todayās game, and based on our needs and current first selection, I like OāBrien, Clark, and Richards, in that order. I was also impressed with Starcevich and Stoddard.

He also reckons we got 7 guys they couldnāt believe were still there!!
Actions > talk
Ridley will play half back.
McGrath plays back pocket, will play mid.
Begley forward, eventually mid
And two out and out mids
Thereās hardly a proliferation of anything except a leaning towards mids.

Allen was the standout tall for meā¦I didnāt see every second of the match, but I didnāt see many mistakes from him.
Oh, and Crossley. I thought he was a big Mumford-typeā¦but there was an overlap run to receive in the centre, followed by the i50 pass that surprised me.
Iām not an expert U18 watcher, but I did watch the equivalent game last year. Frankly, I was pretty unexcited about the match. Did really feel many were particularly clean or special. Thought the skills were less than last year.
But that is a very amateur opinion!
Iām at the ground 
A lot of top 10 talent wasnāt playing too.
Good (if we keep the pick).
Twomey did say only Rayner would have made it into the top 5 last year if he was in that draft class.
So last yearās draft was deemed more talented and certainly with lots of depth.
Funny Twomey said Parish would have been number 1 if he was in the draft last year.
Yes I heard him say something similar.
At around July / August he had McGrath at 6 in his Phantom Draft and suggested that McCluggage was 1 and the equal of Parish who went 5 the previous year.
By October he had certainly changed his tune.

Anyone know whether its possible to get a replay anywhere?
Donāt think one will come up, really wish the AFL site would save it on their site like most games, itās very annoying

So with all the talk about trades using picks 11 and 28, are we likely to be forced to use 46, 65 and 83? Only rookie upgrade I can imagine is maybe mcniece? Draper too early. So some pretty late picks in a weak draft seem pointless.
If we want any use out of the draft, surely we need to hold on to 11 somehow? Challenging trade period to balance this, but need 11 for the draft
