Very nice HBF player - nice pick.
He was meant to go in the midfield before now - just don't think hes done as well there as many said he would though - HBF is his spot.
Brissie love his training ethics - hard worker.

Edcock is a great get - have to scrub him off my list now, was getting very close, but as U2 said (who was in love with this guy last year - it was embarrassing really) he's struggled a bit in the midfield, and was best suited of half back - based on history. That was his only knock for mine.
Keeping in mind this guy was a clear second in the Lions B&F in 2007.
Made the 40 man squad for All Australian.
Ranked 1 at Brisbane for kicks, effective kicks and tackles in 2007.
Played 1st 14 rounds as a defender and then blitzed in the midfield (not sure what you guys are saying he failed)...IN the last 8 rounds of 2007 he averaged 23 disposals, 7 contested, 6 inside 50s, and 7 tackles per match. He layed more tackles in that time than anyone in the league and second for inside 50's and frees for. That is a elite midfielder performance!
In total his disposal efficiency was 83% and as a midfielder 81%.
He ranked 18th in Tackles in the league this year (i like tackling players, he's got 10, 11 tackles in games).
Sure he dropped off this year due to a few things but he showed lastyear he could perform at a elite level and he did get 30 possessions this year, showing he can crack it.
I see him as my ultimate lock down type player if i need him as well as a player to play on gun smalls and in the midfield.
