Have to agree wholeheartedly with Plow & Spudda on A.Rocca: his best position is CHB. Was speaking to someone who was on the coaching staff at Northern KNights when pebbles played there, adn he alwyas thought he'd make a greta backmen (had some very positive things to say about Presti, too). The same bloke is now at the Kangaroos, so he knows his footy.
Zed - you're on the ball with the type of player we should be drafting. Basically we should be doing what Hawthorn did 2-3 years ago: draft a swag of GENUINE talls (192cm+) and hope that out of 7 you get 2 or 3 really good prospects. OUr problem with talls has been drafting 1 or 2 and placing all the hopes and pressure on those indivduals, while drafting a fleet of midfielders. We have far too many of this latter type on our current list, and will need to trade a few of the promising ones in order to get some talls.
Smart & Graham are great places to start.
PS: Has anyone checked the hospital where Foxy is after attempting to vent his spleen at all the Wasley-lovers? |

Talls on list
Monkhorst, Smith, Tuckey, Gardiner, Veanables, Prestgicomo, Schuable, Richardson, A Rocca, S Rocca, Kinnear, Tarrent.
That's 12 guys competing for about 5 spots. FB, CHB, CHF, FF, Ruck, Bench Tall/2nd Ruck. Some days you play more, some days less. Now with playing squad of 22 and list of 42. You basically have less than 1 resreve or backup player for each in the sqaud, we nearing 1.5 for the talls. So how many more talls in the squad? I think anymore than another one would unbalance the squad. (And I didn't count Walker who is definitely a tall, so count him as a tall and definitely replace him with a tall ). I'd delist one tall and draft two more but I think the balance is basically right. It's not quite that simple with guys like Chris Tarrent who could play almost anywhere. We could pherhaps do with more mid-sized or tallshorts like wasly, michael to give us more flexiablilty. We denitely need to address the ruck, We need to draft one, and another if smith goes.
Pugs.
