There's no certainties in the draft but I'd have put money on either of Bolton or Pickett or even Schloithe having a pretty immediate impact. I just wonder what sort of impact it has on young blokes in their 1st, 2nd or 3rd years of footy just getting bashed around each week because there's no support and hardly ever experiencing that winning feeling....I'm over the losing feeling I know that much!
I'd prefer we went for more 20 somethings also - but more so because it increases our chances of success I reckon.
If O'Dwyer wasn't on our list he certainly wouldn't be in the frame to be picked up in the mid season draft. There is little risk in leaving these Raso-esque players to prove themselves in the VFL rather than being picked up on a super-speculative basis.
