Wouldn't risk taking Thomas, that ankle injury is a nasty one. No guarantees he will come back from it and be the player he was
Wouldn't consider Watts either, he's a floater, shows no desire, agrression, endeavour let alone a killer instinct. Not even sure he has the talent that people keep saying he has. For his size his should be starting to monster pip squeaks but all he does is run around picking up cheap uncontested possessions and avoiding contest. Just seems to be happy to float about not worrying about improving.
Leuenberger I believe will stay in Brissie and if he doesn't he will cost plenty you'd need to pay overs and I am not sure we want to be paying overs for him. I'd rather back McBean in to be as good if not better TBBH
So thinking about it here's a thought, why don't we look a drafting some more kids this year and develop them. And while we are developing them in our own VFL team in 2014, we'll start playing some more of the kids we've picked over the last couple of years ...you know McBean (a Leuneberger type), McIntosh (a Thomas type), Darrou (a better option than Watts cos he has aggression) etc.....
Just a thought
