Time for a new thread 80 pages too long. If at 21 either or both Tape and Watson available I will be very disappointed if we rake Conca as suggested in herald sun by Jay Clark Both are backmen, Watson All Aust Full back and Tape capt of SA Under 18 side. With CB recivering from injury one pretty serious as well we need some size on backline.
Tape has outstanding potential but I doubt he will last until our first pick.
AFL has just posted amended lists for all clubs. We have put Goodes and Jude as outside list veterans and with Pyke promoted that leaves us five vacant senior places. Can't see us using more than four picks at the ND so be interesting to see if we are intending to do something with the last spot.
Amended picks based on spots on others lists etc, it now looks like we have 21, 40, 57, 70 75
We also have 7 vacant rookie positions.

John Anthony quits Magpies | Herald Sun
Apparently he's had enough of Collingwood.
Would we be interested in him? He's only 22.
He certainly showed he could hold up under pressure in that semi-final against the Crows last year.
I think he's worth a look.
i respect Anthony's ability, but I don't think we'll be interested. Who would you leave out?
On the other hand, several Melbourne clubs would jump at the chance: North, Essendon, Richmond just for starters. He'd be guaranteed a weekly game at any of them.
He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
hhhmmm
we picked up Everitt, but with Kennelly and Bolton close to a final year in the backs in 2011............and upfront he could be very handy...............GC would be keen as
"be tough, only when it gets tough"
Its not his ability thats the problem its whats between his ears or NOT between his ears.........
Probably a useful addition but may not get any more opprtunities with us than he has at Collingwood, who would he displace?
I hope he has thought this through. If he wanted to go during trade week, being out of contract Collingwood would have got him to where he wanted to go. If he can get into the ND then he could go to any one of 17 teams, be interested to see who picks him up and with what pick, that will show his potential. If he is only able to get into the PSD then GWS have the first million picks followed by GC, WCE. Good luck to him, as I say, hope he has thought this through as he now has no choice about where he goes unless he is keen on the VFL and Blacktown!

How would this bloke look in our forward line? The ability is there (under the right circumstances) and he seems to have good work ethic?

Lots of media tips that this kid may be our first pick...link is to a 7 minute interview which should tell us a lot about him, but the musical background makes it incomprehensible to me. If any of you have a solution, I'd love to have it. Vids are at rhs bottom of page 1.

"be tough, only when it gets tough"
I read today he's a chance to go the Eagles @ #4 so it seems hard to imagine he'll last till our first pick?
