Pre-Season Draft

[Gordon Bennett]

Is us picking Kingsley up in the PSD now a foregone conclusion?

I just don't know

I haven't seen any lists of young blokes still available, but by my calculations the following are still there for the taking, and worth a look:
Adams
Collier
Prismall
Sheringham
Grose
Jacobs

Some may be too young for the rookie list (eg Prismall). Grose will be gobbled up by brisbane for their rookie listing if not taken in the PSD.

Lucky Brisbane  .

We've also got Tas Clingan, Limbach and a few Coburg boys training with us who would be in the mix.

Chubba could still end up a Saint given they have 3 picks plus there defensive holes.

[Ramps]

Grose, Prismall, R.Anderson and Prismall should all be looked at. Plenty of talent left.

[mightytiges]

Now we've got Riewoldt, Sarge and Clever as young key forwards, I'd rather us pick up Grose in the PSD than Kingsley.

THE PRE-SEASON DRAFT SCENARIOS
Stephen Rielly
The Age
November 28, 2006

CARLTON: Committed first pick to ruckman Cain Ackland and will make a second selection in wake of 11th-hour departure of Chris Bryan.

COLLINGWOOD: One selection, likely to be used on Bryan, who has been made a two-year offer.

ESSENDON: Committed only pick available to former Lion Mal Michael.

HAWTHORN: Has one pick which, a month ago, was being set aside for Carlton full-back Bret Thornton.

KANGAROOS: Likely. One further change to the list may be made that will give the Kangaroos the first live pick in the draft. Carlton and Essendon before them have already made their selections.

PORT ADELAIDE: One selection to make and has invited ex-Saint Troy Schwarze, among others, to train at the club.

RICHMOND: Chose not to use last pick in the national draft to keep options open. Has interest in former Cat Kent Kingsley.

ST KILDA: Has up to three vacancies on its list but seems certain to select no more than two players, the final number depending on salary-cap considerations. Interest in ruckmen including Clark Keating and Tristan Cartledge.

OUT: Adelaide, Brisbane Lions, Fremantle, Geelong, Melbourne, Sydney, West Coast, Western Bulldogs.
