Yep. And I think Waite will be signed by Norf on Friday.
Only saw him play the one game (it was on TV) and Pickett did nothing to interest me. Soft outside runner, did have some genuine speed but that was about it for me.
We won't get anything for Waite unless the club he goes to has signed him up on seriously big money.

Port getting Ryder should be enough for them.
Word on Twitter is he may be getting offered as much as $400k on a 2-year contract with no strings attached. Anyone care to suggest whether this would get us compo in Band 4 or 5 at all?

I'm officially on the Lever bandwagon with our first pick now. Looked at more footage and he just seems to have some special football traits. #leverinblue2015
If we land Jaksch, I'd go Mid with our first choice.
Having said that, there is just something about Goddard that intregues me, if someone can get him to realise his full potential I think they will have awoken a sleeping giant.
Yep - if the talk of us getting Jaskch and Jones comes to fruition, outside class/speed should be #1 priority. Still think we need a promising young KPD, however. So wouldn't be adverse to us getting Durdin or Lever then mids at our 2nd/3rd.
Read below & have a look at this link: http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport...986030328?nk=ccc1b69b944d86fca16648b2d1c41ca9
SAM DURDIN (West Adelaide)
Key position/ruck
18, 197cm, 87kg
AFL national talent manager Kevin Sheehan: “He’s in the conversation about the top 10, maybe the top five. He’s come from a long way back because of his thumb injury but he’s a brilliant size, can play at both ends of the ground and has courage and a real presence about him in the air. He’s a quietly spoken fella but when he’s out on the ground he’s as competitive as they come.’’
Quietly spoken? No thanks.
We need strong dominant personalities. Don't have a weak amateur coach anymore who needs weak compliant footballers.
Henderson was quietly spoken but has leadership written all over him now.
Quality over boisterous.
Strong and boisterous are not the same. Hodge has a strong dominant personality but he's hardly boisterous.
We also need players with a drive to succeed.

Hendo doesn't play 'quietly' if you get what I mean.
Don't mind if Durdin is quiet off field - but he needs to be loud and aggressive on field.
I know what you're saying but not all 17 year old kids have dominant personalities at such a young age.
You won't skip over quality just because someone may be shy. What if the next 10 players were of the same nature? Skip them for the natural leaders?
No we don't ignore the next Kouta because he's shy.
Geez if Sam is the next Bruce Doull give the boy a ten year contract.Bruce Doull was quite the talker.
