On the Garlett point, said it all along, he's not a defender at AFL level.
EB, what are your thoughts on a player, if any, that we might take in the mid-season draft....we have one pick available from memory? You wouldn't pick someone for the sake of picking someone but if it addressed a specific need. There's a young bloke playing for Perth in the WAFL (same team that Sydney Stack has come from) called Michael Bennell. Slightly older but has produced some electrifying stuff. Not a high possession player but regularly kicks 2-4 goals. He's actually not a small forward as he's nearly 6'2" but is absolutely deadly around the goals and has real speed.
Good question Surfie, to be honest I havent thought too much about it....my guess it would be a VFL player who the club know a bit more about and that SOS
would see more often Type....?...most obvious is probably a small/medium quick goalkicker, you can also never have enough mids and perhaps a running defender with pace who uses the ball well.
They would also need to be in good form and be AFL ready IMO, this is a draft where you want a readymade who can fix a hole on your list through injury or lacking a certain type of player.
Sam Fisher is an obvious choice, club knows him, no re housing/settling in time(see Bennell), could play straight away.
Cory Gregson(ex Geelong) playing in the SANFL is a clever small forward goalkicker and seems over his injuries, while he isnt in the VFL he is a known quantity
and could play straight away.
