    If he's any good at football he might land up as a Giant. He's within their recruiting zone.

    Wouldn't a FS selection trump that?

    Father-Son would take precedence. Anyone know whether he's playing and whether he is any good?

    So we've actually got six spots on the list to fill. Moore, Seaby, Gordon, Meredith, TDL, Spagher.

    We'll use five up to pick 67 you would think keeping one for a tilt at Tippett in the PSD. Unless we take one or two delisted players to bolster depth.

    Very interesting to see our strategy given no one outside the club inner sanctum saw the clean out coming. Could be either disastrous or a masterstroke!

    I agree with the Naismith comment, by all accounts will be worthwhile...and Starling as noted. Still ruck projects though. With Seaby gone and White looking around someone has to ruck in the ressies! Who else is there? Everitt?!?

    Can someone with the power fix the thread title??? Thanks.

    Of the four names I posted he's probably the most likely at #23.

    Put some glasses on him and he's as close to McLovin as you'll get for a footballer.

    I was actually thinking of Currie when I posted that. Reasonably high draft pick (2nd Rd?) and after 5 years we just went out and got Seaby/Mumford for similar picks when Currie wasn't getting hot. Unless they are just stand outs, drafting ruckman in the first few rounds is just too much of a long term investment...

    I thought of Currie first too, but the others were more clear cut.

    Currie is an interesting one. By all reports seems to be doing well in the SANFL and may be re-rookied.

    I agree it takes a long time for the majority of ruckman to physically develop, but for them to eventually become an AFL footballer they have to be shown how to train, what to eat, and what is required of an AFL footballer, so when they get right physically they are ready mentally.

    It'll be interesting to see if he gets rookied.

    Old! I am positively ancient! Their parents were not even born when I was already an adult. I am probably older than some of their grandparents!

    Both of them will give Steve Taubert something to work with. Its probably time we had a Taubert appreciation thread. The bloke is a pure genius!
