Cons: can look slow, 2nd efforts....
If next years draft is mid field rich and deep, would it be prudent to get KP players this year, as there seems to be many around our picks. Given that KP takes longer to develop as well, should be be getting Weitering, Collins and McKay with our first 3 and best available at 19?
Would a spine of Collins, Weitering, Cripps, Jacksch, McKay be something to build around? Add Plowman down back and Casboult/Kruezer in the forward pocket and we seem to have structure.
Plus they are all Vic boys, no go home factor.

I think get KPs in Weitering then best available. If two players are similar, get the KP, but if (for example as he won't be) Parrish was around and Curnow at our pick... I would be taking Parrish still.

We surely have witches hats in the club somewhere.
We need to make sure the KPs are not jumping up 5-10 spots though because they are KPs it is too closely following the rule that we need a KP now, we can trade for them as well and they don't all need to be taken with our best picks.
I think we all know we need a spin, but don't waste a pick if we don't really rate the kid is all I am saying. We don't have to get all of our spine in one year. Weitering if going to be a great start.

I really like the Collins, Weitering KP back setup....that would be my priority this draft....we also need another bigger mid urgently IMO and Oliver would be my man....I like Hibberd as my allrounder at pick 19 although some rightly so like Rioli at 19 as we do need another clever small forward even though we have Tutt, Boakhorst, and now Lamb, Sumner.
McKay wouldnt be a priority for me this season although if we missed Collins he would be my next choice in the KP 's....
Mitch Brown from Sandringham would be my backup in the PSD.....
Like your thinking with the go home factor.....Francis would be a good get but you know the Crows and Port will come after him and we always lose out ...
Re: The Hard Road To The Premiership - Raydan - 10-23-2015
Those ones I listed MIO have been projected around our picks.
Re: The Hard Road To The Premiership - mateinone - 10-23-2015
Yeap sorry Ray
Was more meaning how they are rated by the club, but in principle I think you are pretty well spot on, in that if they are rated there, yeah take the big guys.

If you're hoping for more than a couple of wins... brace yourself.
Wins are irrelevant in 2016, consistency of effort and competitiveness is what we are looking for.
Over time, as the players grow together, wins will come on the back of the hard work put in during next year and the one after.

The future :
B : Buckley, TBA, TBA
HB : Plowman, Weitering, Docherty
C : Boekhorst, Murphy, TBA
HF : Jacksh, TBA, Kerridge
F : Sumner, TBA, TBA
R : Kreuzer, Cripps, Gibbs
I/C : TBA, Phillips, TBA, TBA
Smith, Whiley, Holman, Lamb, Graham are yet to fully show their stuff but should have genuine claims to a spot in the team over the coming years.
