Adds up very easily. Players later in the draft will always have a significant weakness. Taking a young player with one which is easily fixed is a very sensible move, especially as this kid has the talent to be very good.
Instead of picking a player we know will be decent (we have enough) we went for a player we reckon could be worthy of a first rounder if all goes well. More risk but greater reward. With no first rounder this year or next, trying for a top talent with a later pick is a great move, even if the chance of getting it wrong is higher.

he is a healthy young bloke who obviously has a family that actually cares about bringing up a well-adjusted son(was tempted to write well rounded!).
a teenager should not be counting bloody calories.
I like the kid- and it's nice to see someone who obviously has the talent and is keen to put in the work.
Sick of these athlete health freaks with zero personality who cannot kick and have no game sense. |
If you want to watch Aussie Rules played by footballers who are non-athletes then don't go to AFL matches. VFL football or amateur football may be more your scene. AFL footballers spend half their time in the gym and watching their diets. Those who don't have very short AFL careers. |

Agree - With no 1st Rounders for 2 Drafts we drafted a Kid who is not a High End Talent now but could be Develpoed into one.
We have no excess to the High End Young Talent until the 2017 Draft so why not try and hit a Home Run.
He is a High Risk High Reward kind of Pick

Agree, high risk, high return pick; he's got a lot of wonderful attributes but he is very raw.
He has great size, power, speed and movement, he could be an unstoppable beast in the midfield. However, he has not been in an elite program and is very young and he may just not development as we think and hope he will. |
