Probably not with us. As a key defender, who would he get a game in front of?

Another team in need of a key defender, however, could certainly do worse than give him a shot with a late pick...

Never assumed he'd play as a KPP, more as a 3rd tall in the Toovey or Langdon mould. He's only 190-191cm from memory.

I have high hopes for Rids, Ferg and Jake Williams in the draft. Serious contenders for AFL spots.

Bucks love Ferg BTW. Seriously, it has almost gone beyond just a crush ;)

Yes, but again, would he get a game ahead of those boys either? And then there's Scharenberg and Marsh. Both could play on a 3rd forward at AFL level as well.

Look, I like Riddle, I think he's been very good for us, I think he can make it in the AFL, as a key defender (might only be 190cm but he plays taller than that) or otherwise, but I'm not sure he would get a game ahead of any of those blokes.

If we gave him a shot though, well good on him, and I wouldn't say no to having him. Just not sure he fits a need, that's all.

They be Rookies.

Fergouson at 170cm you say is too Short as we already have ton of Midgets. We need taller mids.
