State league mature age prospects?

[one-eyed]

We've done very well in the past with picking up a few mature state league players. Lambert, Broad & Pickett come straight to mind as our premiership players.

The latter lists Liam McBean (Glenelg, 24, forward) as a "proven performer".

My son played against Jake Riccardi for St Pats Ballarat including the Herald Sun Shield GF 2 years ago.

Thought he looked a class above that level back then and would be all for picking him up.  From memory didn't play a lot of TAC Cup but more school footy.

From that list I'd take Riccard and rookie Hibberd & Lentini..,,didn't realise Lowson was 24 thought he was only 20-21...

Heppell's dud brother clearly only getting a mention due to the name.....  


Any chance of posting the SANFL & WAFL lists from behind Uncle Rupert's Paywall?

Didn't Port Melbourne end up runners up, you'd expect them to have some talent there to raid.

Willy were runners-up....Port lost to us in the prelim, finished 7th after H&A

Any more Pickett's over there in WA?

Riccardi, Hibberd, Lowson in that order....doubt we'll take one though unless we draft Riccardi...
