Preseason & Rookie Drafts discussion thread [merged]

[Go Richo 12]

So obviously club thinks we're right for ruck depth and tall defenders. Oh well, at least they took 2 kids & a young-ish state leaguer and no recycled hacks for a change, which I thought they would after Hackson said everyone they considered draftable had been taken.

Big Ivan is 204 cms tall.

Staggers me that we havent chosen one tall defender

We don't need tall defenders when there is a dearth of 200 cms plus kpf getting around.

Category B rookie who's not going to be ready for a few years, if ever. Wouldn't be counting on him to be ruck depth just yet.

Yeah your right I forgot about the rotational system in the backline for them to brush up on their defensive side
