I wouldn't put it past the club to only draft one mature aged player this year, last year (IMO) the mature aged guys were purely for cover for the many unknowns on our list..
I'd hope we can have a better run with the injury gods that can see us not have to turn to our mature aged rookies all year round.
Mark Seaby is the interesting one, if Hillel retires, I can see us picking him up in the PSD, as we really do need that third string ruckmen that Hillel/Jenkins/Campbell (damn thos crows and dogs!!) should have been next season.
I really liked the look of Lewis Pierce in the couple of games I managed to see of the Stingrays. Good tap work, not afraid to get his hands dirty, strong mark and wasn't afraid to put it on the boot with ball in hand. Kicking style was good for a big fella also. I think I'd like Pierce before my second preference Darcy Fort who struggled in the game I saw of his late in the year.
