So how does being Sub help get his Stats up ? From what i saw he has some pace and a bit of X factor, so if he cosyts us nothing as a free agent and put him on rookie list
Think he also played finals this year
Lindsay - 3 out of 10 people think he will be available at our pick 14, Berry 4 out of 10 think, Shanahan 7 out of 10 and Hannaford 10 out of 10

Read somewhere Shanahan plays like JVR. JVR went pick 17 right? Our pick also may slide to 17 at draft night. And if the intention to bring Narkle is to get Kosi, may be our priority may be shanahan? Pearce 's body will be more fragile in coming years as he is 30 next year and Shanahan can play at both end?

I'm feeling like my thoughts are a bit more conservative here:
- Bolton in the forward line should be a boon to Frederick, Switkowski and every other member of our forward line.
- Sharp and O'Driscoll rotating with Brayshaw is my preferred wings
- Jackson should learn how to fit into our forward line, not into our midfield unless he is playing as relief ruck in there
So if they take 3 years to develop your’e not replacing Moose for 7 years??
We need to earmark a junior Elk in the next year or so, I think.
Wouldn't we need to see at least 1 of Murphy or Davies being delisted before drafting a kpd prospect?
He played a fair bit forward at Port.
We aren't going to win a flag with a bunch of kids as depth. We need some hardend bodies with experience. He has finals experience which half our list is lacking.
The more plug and play selections we have the better.
I can see you don't like the bloke but for what he will cost us(nothing) I don't see the problem.
We’ve drafted three KPDs in two years and added Oscar McDonald for depth when they develop.
It’s not time to recruit more KPDs because those KPDs haven’t become AFL standard in less than 24 months (and Draper actually has). Our list spots aren’t unlimited so we’ve planned ahead about as well as we could’ve IMO. If anything we’ve added one too many to the list already but that’s just allowing for one to fail.
I just cant see Davies replacing Pearce. Murphy I must admit I haven’t seen enough of to form an opinion. Does anyone who has watched him feel comfortable he is the heir apparent?

IMO Murphy is not a Pearce replacement; the big thing that he lacks is speed of the mark.
Murphy is good in the air and useful with ball in hand on the rebound coupled with being 200cm, (once he has some size) he would suit lumbering Ruck-Forward types but the faster key forwards that some teams have I just think he is going to be too slow.
Draper is our best Pearce replacement building in the wings, with MacDonald the more experienced option. If we recruit Shanahan he would also be a top option as he has that speed and also reach, would also be nice on the offensive with his 60+m kicking (also a prolific goal kicker the other end).
