    Feist was a pretty good novelist.

    I believe it was Feast.

    Funny how it works out..

    All four 2012 draft picks are yet to play seniors.

    All 4 rookies have played seniors....Lloyd, X Richards, Rampe, B Jack....Also rookie upgrade Cunningham

    Do people who watch the reserve games regularly think that the November 2013 draftees (Jones, Hewitt, Toby N and Alire) will get a senior debut in 2014. If so, which one is most likely?

    We have 9 guys on our senior list who are yet to debut at the senior level.

    It must be hard for those 9 guys as the next cabs of the rank are Mitchell, Rohan and Brandon Jack.

    ROK wants to get back in the senior team, with Tippett and San Reid to come back into the senior mix in the next two weeks.

    If there are no senior injuries, then there are going to be at least two senior guys coming out to make way for Reid and Tippett.

    Tom Walsh is close to a reserve return and he will be fighting tooth and nail in the reserves to earn another contact.

    I don't see how any of those 9 guys will earn a senior debut any time soon!
    Jones Nankervis and Aliir have already been named as emergencies this year. Towers this year and last and Membrey last year emergencies. Marsh and Dick have improved from last year though

    Who do people think will still be on the senior list in 2015 out of Towers, Dick, Marsh, Mebrey or Jordan Lockyer in 2015?

    Biggs will need to be upgrade or delisted as he is a 3rd year Rookie. X Richards, Naismith, Robinson and Lloyd will complete there second year as Rookies and there is only one spot for a 3rd year Rookie. Who will that 3rd year spot likely go to?

    There are some decisions to be made at the end of 2014. If Goodes body is good and he plays well during the rest of 2014, then he may play on. I think ROK is done and Ryce Shaw is not far behind!

    I figure we got a pick worth one in the 20s with Membrey and one in the 40s with Towers, so it sort of evens out. I feel Membrey is the closest of the 2012 senior listed draftees to making it at senior level. Marsh and Dick have made good progress this year, so hard to write them off. Towers has got the athleticism you want from a modern day player, and does use it sometimes to good effect, but just not often enough.
