Its interesting that none of our selections was more than six foot tall!

Quite a high strawberry blonde quotient this year too. Good to see!
Yes we are in urgent need of a tall defender. Maybe they have someone else in mind?
I wonder if part of it was the lack of footy for many over the last 2 years made this years talls harder to judge, so teams have been circumspect. I remember Beatson saying something a few weeks ago about a need for more information then normal about talls - i.e. not just that they performed well, but who they played on etc in individual games - reflecting a small evidence base. I'm sure that all is taken into account normally too, but it was interesting insight.

Rowbottom put out a self-promotional video of himself today: Rowbottom: I feel like I have much more to offer
He must have known that we would take 4 replacements for him in this draft alone. He says he has to do better since he's the worst player on our list. I noticed that he's done away with all the strapping on his knee and his shoulder. He may not be able to play, but give him credit for trying to look like he can play.
So we've drafted 4 mids, can't really see us taking Angus Anderson anymore. Maybe a punt a tall defender in the rookie draft, either project or mature? Charlie Dean?
