that draft we snared grundy, kennedy and broomhead. gws took stewart with pick 27, ramsay was next taken with pick 38.Flashman wrote:From memory we went with Ramsay on what would have been the Stewart pick.
One's a 6ft back pocket the others a 6ft 6 forward.
Hmmm... I don't know if Hine thought that one through too well.
would stewart really gave been ahead of the first three picked?
Purveyor of sanctimonious twaddle.

I think. Or hope, on what we've seen, that we'd have selected Stewart ahead of Ramsay. That's what would have been needed after all was done. GWS bid with 27, we take Stewart with our next pick at 38.
However, as Hine said, we had a lot of uncertainty about our picks in that draft as we were active at the trade table. Would we have pick 38? We just didn't know. If we'd committed to Stewart would one of our deals have fallen through? Would we have been forced to take Stewart ahead of Broomhead, Grundy or Kennedy? I think there was just too much risk involved.

I'm with you Dave, Grundy and Broomhead are far better long term prospects, both quality players, and both easily 200+ game players, barring the unforseen.Dave The Man wrote:

How can Grundy and Broomhead be "far better long term prospects" than Stewart? On what measure?The Boy Who Cried Wolf wrote:I'm with you Dave, Grundy and Broomhead are far better long term prospects, both quality players, and both easily 200+ game players, barring the unforseen.Dave The Man wrote:

All 3 are great prospects but it's just a flight of fancy to suggest 1 is better than the other, let alone far better, this early in their careers.

I accepted the Stewart part, referring just to Dawes and Wellingham trades vs Grundy and Broomhead.jackcass wrote:How can Grundy and Broomhead be "far better long term prospects" than Stewart?

Well we got 3 1st Rounders instead of 1 if we had Nominated Stewartderkd wrote:Everyone needs to take a big deep breath... He has played one good game. Far too early to makes big calls on anyone Stewart or our players. Won't be able to call the winners or loser from this draft for five years. Till then it is all just opinion.
