Nice list, but cant see Kieran Harper slipping till 27. If he goes past us at 26 then I'll riot at the club!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYouve also listed Blayne Wilson twice(Pick 41 + 51), and no way Mitch Hallahan makes it all the way down to Pick 49!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback.
ReplyDeleteHarper is one I think might divide opinions a bit. Great potential with the attributes he brings to the table, but hasn't really put the performances on the board consistently enough.
Hallahan is one I think could slide a bit from popular opinion.
He is massive unit and plays a bash and crash style as an inside midfielder which is effective at TAC level against weaker and slower players in a lower skilled game, but much less so at AFL where burst speed, evasiveness and handball creativity are of much higher value as an inside midfielder - qualities which I haven't seen him display.
I also have a query over his kicking reliability, which doesn't help his cause either.
