It's the only reason I'm here.
Quick! Get him on a 'Buddy' contract before he changes his mind!
IMO Miller will struggle to be rookie listed for the same reason as Marsh slid so far, neither are that competitive or have good footy smarts. Marsh was lucky that he is an athletic beast, Miller is far from that.
Appears that every other club agreed with our people that Tickner and Conway aren't quite up to the standard required as yet. Would imagine that we be a chance to rookie at least one of them.
To finish this draft off I hope we get Templeton in the rookie draft.

A midfield of Redden, Cutler, Robertson, Lester and Mayes is gonna be tall and strong.

Do we have 3 rookie spots? I'd be happy to just fill them with Tickner, Conway and Smith.
I really have to disagree with this.
Great Draft by the Lions
So basically we have got the following:
AISH
GARDINER & ROBERTSON for POLEC & Pick 29
McSTAY & WEST for LONGER
TAYLOR for YEO
CUTLER for DOCHERTY
& PAINE for KARNY
Overall, I think we have done pretty well

We'll probably end up drafting the three QLD kids although there's a chance we might pass up on Tickner since we ended up getting McStay and Gardiner. Happy either way.

Taylor for Yeo looks great on paper. Hopefully he can get some games next year and show us what he can do in the big league - at this stage he looks an absolute steal but he'll need to prove himself before either club can say they won the trade etc.

Don't like Tickner's chances considering the number of talls we added at both ends in trade week and the draft.
Archie must be close to a certainty for us to rookie.
Miller, Battersby, Templeton, Hourigan, Wilson, Conlon, Spina, Tsitas and a few others like Jacka and Drummond.
I don't think any of those blokes got picked up. But I rate a couple of them highly.
Agreed. In the draft alone we added McStay, Gardiner and Cutler. All of whom are ahead of Tickner.
Better options out there for us to rookie.
Agree on Archie.

Fantastic family, gun player. Proven performer already against bigger bodies. He will be a one club player and will Captain your club, I couldnt be more certain.
Great to have both James Aish and Joel Patfull in the same team. Both great Norwood families.

I liked him at the Champs I'd like to see him lose that puppy fat and be a midfield bull but no idea if he's ever even played there. Very nice kick too. General consensus seems to be he'll be a third tall, If you were drafting him for the Lions in which position would you be looking to develop him?
Taylor to be the new Leon Harris. This kids seems to have the personal qualities Leon had in his days at Fitzroy. Lets hope he has Leons character, loyalty and work rate and Brent Harvey's skill, speed and goal sense.

I actually like how we picked our defenders. We've taken 3 defenders, probably only 1 of them will be a KPD, the other two are more 3rd tall or rebounding types, obviously to help cover the loss of Yeo, as well as future cover for Patfull and Merrett. Robertson also adds a taller option coming from the back flank and into the midfield. We then add 2 very good users of the ball to add to our midfield.
I love the idea of having Green/Zorko/Taylor across HF and the likes of Hanley/Mayes/Aish rotating from HB/wing/HF. Who the hell do you tag out of those 3? and that's not even counting Rich or Rocky !

Taylor and Aish do also bring some more leadership qualities into the team. Taylor was captain of Vic country wasn't he?
I'd be looking to develop him as a third tall up forward. Once he works on a couple of things he could become a handy player.
Not sure he really has what it takes to be developed into a midfielder.
