Lever yes, Durdin I don't rate higher than Weller or Duggan, has played his best footy in the ruck mostly and is too small to play there at AFL level so i'm not as keen on him as others are.

Apparently Tiges are putting in a lot of thought about Sam Durdin if he falls.
He is 197cm 83kg. He is a absolute perfect size for a modern day swing man. Can play both back and forward very well. Is very agile and has beautiful hands. Skills are very nice for a big fella. Has the frame to put on another 10kg.
Very much in the mold of a younger Luke Mcpharlin or Ben Reid or Jake Carlise or even a touch of Jack Gunston. A player like this is invaluable to a team in modern footy. He has been pegged as South Australia's best prospect for a while. Quality head on his shoulders and is a country lad.

Trying to think who would be the closest comparable player on tigers list to Sam Durdin and all I can think of is Jale Batcholer. But Durdin is a far better athlete and far better kick. Much better contested mark aswell.
Durdin also missed 4 months development after needing surgery on his thumb last year.

I want him, we need him, please select him

Perhaps, because of his height, fairly identical to Ben Elton. Looks to have better disposal though..
Lever would be a real steal though... A whole lot of Royce Hart about the way he attacks the ball in the air.. (especially launching himself in from the side) Looks like another Harry Taylor I think.

I'd love to see this happen, it would really bolster my confidence in our future.

Probably better to take your directives. According to you we can get any player we want back as a FA 8 yrs after they have played for there club.
I clearly said "with pace" which is something we blatantly lack and if you can't see that I can't help you.

I don't give directives! I gave an opinion and asked questions!
Seriously why would I care about directing you?
You not even worth putting on ignore!
Whether you said pace or not Lids doesn't lack pace.Dusty isn't slow either
Are you saying Ellis is a turtle?
BTW, when I want your help I'll ask for it explicitly! Usually I say " could someone help me?" Don't expect to hear from me, ha,ha!

I think he can play ruck like a bigger Adam Goodes at AFL level. Obviously not all the time but at 197cm with his leap marking/reach and mobility I think his quality will make him very versatile for us.
It gives us another dimension we lack IMO and makes us a more well rounded team.
Like you said he could help CHB and CHF or elsewhere.
If Grimley is available at 23 years of age I think he is a good value play for us for our window. Younger than Maric and Hampson so chasing Wright would not be as pressing a need
ATM I would like Durdin, Howe, Drummond or other, Mellington or other, Miles, and Grimley

I see Durdin as a high quality KD that can swing forward at times like a Westoff. Durdin was touted a top 3 pick twelve months ago. If our blue chip mid alternative was a Breyshaw it would be different story, but our alternative mids are classy outside types. Which would be great as well but I see more value in Durdin and I think he would be an upgrade on Chapman down the track.
In all honesty id be happy with any of Weller, Duggan or Durdin, but given a choice it would be Durdin.

I think with the extra versatility Durdin would bring, making us a more solid unit, I think the players could play with more confidence as a team knowing the team has another string to its bow.The players would feel more assured IMO.

Bit of a dream draft for us really, given that 12 isn't that great of a pick.
We will definitely get one of; Duggan / Weller / Ahern / Durdin
All of which would be a great outcome to our list.
There will also be plenty of talent available with our second and third picks. Exciting.

Unless we bypass them for a Frankie J special like Ellis......

Pick 1...
Ellis over Petracca
I sense many premierships the pillaging will be unforeseen and quite extraordinary.

You just never know with him.

Let it be over already.
We are on a hiding to nothing with pick 12. We reached. We played it safe. We went outside the plan. Oh I don't know.
Looking at Conca's highlight vids you have to wonder and maybe you hope that what you saw then translates to 2015.
It's a pig 'n a poke.
Seems to me the phrase 'a deep draft' means no real wiz bang stand outs but an even so so.

Lever is the player you want. I'd do back flips if we got him. Plays forward also. Very versatile. We'd be Crazy if available and we didn't take him. I think he could be the best big player in the draft. Very athletic. I actually think he could play a midfield role also.

Other than the guru at Geelong. Which head recruiter would we want at Tigerland if we had our way?
