Uh, I assume he's talking about in the draft... This is the Drafts & Trading board.

As for talls:

1: Nicholas Natanui (WA - Swan Districts) - If I knew he'd make a Patrick Ryder-style transition to KP smoothly, he'd be a definitive #1 in my book, but even a team strong on ruckmen and weak on KPs could draft him with the reasonable hope that his athletic talent would translate to CHF or CHB.

2: Michael Hurley (VIC - Northern Knights) - The prototype KPP in this draft. Will almost certainly be the first true KPP drafted. Can truly go forward and back. Not many flaws.

3: Aaron Cornelius (TAS - Glenorchy) - A little small for a KP, but knows all the tricks in the book, takes a strong mark and is very athletic.

4: Jackson Trengove (VIC - Calder Cannons) - Similar to Natanui, in that he's a ruckman as much as a KP. Has probably shown more as a forward, and less as a ruckman. Also quite athletic.

4: Shaun McKernan (VIC - Calder Cannons) - See Trengove, almost verbatim.

Not having a go Vinnie, but why would you have to try to make him into a KPP? He didn't look too flash in the KP post last week but he's dynamite in the middle of the ground, that's where he does his best work. Or are you talking purely in terms of going number 1, that he needs to have this versatility, not that he must be made a KPP?

I think any of the teams projected to finish bottom 1-3 would salivate over the prospect of Naitanui, ability to play KPP or not.

Congratulations Vinnie, at last someone is spelling his name correctly. Everywhere I look it is spelled Trengrove

I notice even the Champion Data prospectus had Trengrove...I think it would be easier for Jack to just change his name to Trengrove by deed poll

More the 2nd one - I've been one advocate that height is not the be all and end all of a ruckman, and that obviously vertical leap and standing reach are probably MORE important, as no one gets a hit out with the top of their head.

However, I'd be pretty wary about drafting a purely athletic prospect who isn't the best kick of the ball and doesn't show any ability to play KP at either end of the ground as an undersized ruckman.

Essentially, my point about him playing KP is that he has the size and athleticism to do it with absolutely no worries, so if he can't, I think it says something more about his marking and his footy nous than it just not being "his position".

Well, I am a nazi about those things.
