Well Maxwell became a Premiership Captain

Very underrated player as well.

Yeah, but you wouldn't spend pick 5 on him based off his skills. I love Maxy, but certain aspects of his game left a lot to be desired.

Yeah I wouldn't spend a top 10 pick on him either, but we got him with a rookie pick so all's good.

Makes you wonder how many similar players slide off the radar completely though.

IMO smart guys learn fast, and Max is a smart guy.

Langford's decision making is the issue.

Also, we need contested ball winners, we struggled in that area last season so we need to continue to bring in players that can win their own ball.

Hine rarely goes with the player you expect him to take. Endurance, good character with leadership credentials, and lately, players that have played some senior football already. Those are the types he likes.

I'm real keen on Pickett. Has played some senior footy and is lightning quick, great vertical leap, excellent user of the ball and can kick it 55-60 when he gets onto it as ge demonstrated in his first WAFL game. The more I watch highlights the more I think how desperate we are for a player with his attributes. He won't have any go home factor either because his parents are going to move with him wherever he ends up

A relation of Langford was at the pub on the weekend. Their thoughts were Pies at pick 5 or GC was where he would land.

Being almost a year younger, and several kilos lighter, suggests thaere may be a lot more potential improvement from Langford. He can certainly kick the ball well and his stats show per game he had more marks, tackles and goals than Laverde.

Be nice if we could get all of them with pick 5, must be some loophole we can exploit.

Balmies coming back, can we claim compensation picks because the Fax machine didn't work?
