I wonder if Tauru is still growing taller and how early we would consider him. With question marks on many of our talls, he looks a worthwhile investment and increasingly likely to go very early.

Contrary to those saying this is great that he doesn't want to play for the Crows...let's get him...yadda yadda.....your observation is far more astute.

Was more at his Kick to Handball ratio seeing that one of his weaknesses is mtrs gained.
With only media information, I'm not convinced that his management haven't said,go to a big vic team for 5 years,then come home and choose and get a mega deal.
A guy who knows a guy, who worked at a pub with a bloke who has a gardner who read it on Yze's desk while weeding at Punt Rd.
Its mail - I trust it - but I wouldn't bet your salary on it. Even if is gospel, doesn't mean they can execute strategy 100%.
FWIW - at no stage have I heard the club say Dan and Shai are required players and won't be traded. It's reset strategy. Those who want to leave have been told they can, we want 1st rounders (8) and will trade aggressively to get them, including our 2nd rounders etc.
It's a Tigers internet forum talking about upcoming drafts, not a statutory declaration.

The squads have just been named for the futures game on Saturday morning so we might have a better idea of what is in the pipeline after seeing what they can serve up.
More like Ginbey mk2.
A physical specimen just like Ginbey but does he have the footballing nous to find enough of the ball at the next level?
I'd prefer Jack Ough - great skills, beautiful size, very young. He's not fast but he just floats over the ground - reminds me a little of Pendlebury although not (yet) as good.
For all the talk of tall mids, Langford Smillie Ough, its worth a thought uhat the swans dont have any mid tall mids.
Mills is 187 and has not been a factor this season.
Rowbottom Warner Heeney Jordan Parker are all mid 180s
Papley and Gulden are short.
On the Lions Dunkley is tall but Ashcroft Fletcher Mcluggage are 80s and Neale and Bailey are short.
Agility Speed and BWA outweigh centimetres

I guess its all about trying to find a tall mid such as a Cripps , Bontempelli or Green
Who can go get the ball stand up cant be tackled as they brush off a mid in the 180s and takes marks around the ground
I think the stats show that Crippses dont win flags.
Dont get seduced by a tall strapping lad in a fine suit
then you weren't listening. It was absolutely said about Shai Bolton when it first came out. “He is a contracted player and isn’t going anywhere” was the language used. Blair Hartley or someone like that said that there was no way we would consider trading Shai Bolton. This was about the time when Eddie’s son came out with the story .
As time went by the only time it was discussed was when Yze used to say that it was disrespectful to talk about contracted players. In hindsight something probably changed between the initial reaction and how it ended up.
