Jack Stanley, Nick Price, Joseph Daye, Charlie Dixon, Jack Stanlake, Zac Smith, Jesse Haberfield and Rory Thompson.

Would they all be first and second round selections?

Havent seen any of them, but Joseph Daye reminds me of a young Mal Michael.
Yes and I will admit I just watched his highlights on youtube

I remember last year Burgan had the Pies taking him instead of Thoolen in the draft.

f you believe the press, Beams is meant to be the best of the crop. So start with late 2nd round picks and work your way down.

Rory Thompson must be useless
only have 8 players and he's still starting on the bench

Rory Thompson is a ruckman - You cant have 2 rucks on the ground.

Yeah well Dayne Beams is quite abit better than all those blokes. No way could you consider 1st or 2nd round selections. A couple may have got drafted. Rory Thompson for instance. Good tall kid with red hair. Ruckman/FF which was rumoured to be guaranteed to be picked up by the lions but dogged them for the Coast. Good move I feel, cause he has alot of development in him and probs wouldnt play until at least 2011 anyway. Yeah but alot to get before the GC can compete with any team.

Daye stood out in that video I think because the competition was mediocre.

He didn't look that impressive, very quick though..

resting forward pocket? in the hole in front of a forward? two classic spots for a second ruckman

 

[TheClokes]

Charlie Dixon is a Ruckman/forward as-well. You cant have two ruckman in the forward line.

Doubt if Dixon will be tall enough to make it as a ruckman at AFL.
I did like what i saw of him as a forward. Looked like a kid who would be a good third or fourth round project player.

I quite like Dixon. He's got an excellent set of hands, but is a pretty shocking kick.

You can if you use him up forward!

 

[Ants]

Did Zorko end up accepting their offer, or did he get overlooked again like Gaetner and Rockcliff?

 

[Neville Bartos]

When they get guys like Swallow, Weller and all the other guns in the next draft, they'll be looking pretty good.

Out of the 8 if they get two good contributers there laughing.
