He'll be well gone before our first pick but Weideman is a Tigers supporter.

If Oliver, Ah Chee and Burton are all gone before our pick, which is quite possible, I hope RFC has the balls to pull the trigger on Collins.

Same height as Rance, already heavier (albeit not as mature), CLEARLY a need given Chaplin's age/performance and Astbury's injury issues.

Rance - Collins - Chaplin
Houli - Grimes - Yarran/Vlastuin

[Raoul Duke]

Good size key backs are a hell of a lot harder to find than mids so I definitely  have no issue with taking a defender of his size.
Having a team mate the ilk of Rance as well as our line coach Rutten,he couldn't dream of having a better learning environment.

Rance - Collins - Deledio
C.Ellis - Grimes - Yarran/Vlastuin

Rance - Collins - Deledio

as versatile as lids is, i think the days of playing him in the backline full time is over...
he has shown he is much better value to us as a half forward.
castagna would go alright back there if he can build his defensive game to go with his run

Lids is also too short to play KPD at 188/90, and Grimes at 193/88 is too small in stature.

Need a third tall, hence why I suggest Chaplin as 3rd KPD/loose man/3rd up. Astbury to replace him if necessary.

Maybe so, but there are horses for courses. Lids could play HBF, but not KPD.

You could play Cotchin, Martin, Deledio, Riewoldt and Rance ALL in the back six if you wanted to, but just because they're good players doesn't mean they're suited to those positions.

Lids is wasted in the D50 and with his achilles issues I don't want him playing there.

[Jonesracing82]

i'd be happy with Collins, he & Rance would be a good duo over the next few yrs. is a Tiger supporter too (from his draft vid) so no issue's with him leaving either

[The Machine]

Would love Weideman to drop out of the top 10 and land on our lap Talk of Burton going inside the top 10 could land us the unexpected. Could we be so lucky?

[tony_montana]

Wouldn't mind us picking the big fella, we need some more tall talent but given what Gale and Rchardson have said (we feel we're well set with KP talent) I can't see that happening

[The Machine]

With our second pick come on down Alex Morgan. His work in traffic is as good as Shane Edwards....elite! Good speed, great kick and has time in space with ball in hand. Look him up.

for context; we are currently playing BACHELOR on resting rucks / monster key forwards
