Sorry, Kit can't be in the Top 10. He went under the father-son rule.

You can use mine if you want - check your PM's.

Deluca must be very good if he isn't allowed to go this season. What about Eddie Betts? I've heard that he is a bit of a Rodan.

Good to hear Sharp is quick - because that is a must. Same with Tambling - the faster the better.

Johnno, Eddie Betts has been invited to the National Draft Camp which is held at the AIS in October, which automatically means that at least four clubs have listed him in the top 30 draftees they would be interested in viewing further.

I spose Eddie's problem is that he is small, and quite small at that. He is relatively well built, but he lacks genuine height, even for a rover. If he gets picked, I'd imagine it's be in the bottom half of the draft, but no doubt there is a team out there that would be interested in pursuing him, his skills dictate that he can play forward and back, which differs from the stereotypical mecurial aboriginal forward, but I wouldn't think that the Pies would be interested.

Its sad that small players are fading out. Only guys like Burns, Lockyer and Brent Harvey are still surviving. Rodan will be gone by next year.

If Betts is quick, we should have a look. I though Craig Ednie (Richmond 2002) would have been a good player, but his lack of height counted against him. Bettts would be worth a shot late in the draft.
