Little chance guys like that get to free agency ILO. They generally go early in the draft & are well looked after once taken.

Yeah both, but defo Floss who will be a great size in time.

Can also get those inside blue collar guys late on from state leagues as well (As Tuck was incidentally).

Agree with Leysy. The RFC could do worse than go after a fleet-footed type this ND.

Reckon our defensive structures may just have improved enough across the board by 2014 to allow for a cherry on the cake.

Morris is also an example of that. Came out of a state league.
 
Word on the grapevine is we're smitten with Salem from this year's draft. Quick, strong, great skills, great attitude.

To get Adams we'd have to trade the pick we'd need for Salem, plus probably a player. So we'd need to rate Adams that much higher than Salem to go for him. Assuming we think Salem will be available.

I can see Adams ending up at Essendon actually.

I am smitten on Salem too. Very good sort. The thing I like most is he kicks goals.

Same here. Would be a great addition to our midfield. Salem and Ellis on opposing wings would be excellent

I reckon Salem end up a true onballer but his finishing skills are superb. Has that thing I love in a footballer, time. And finds gaps in traffic.

No tricks in my opinion, just a plodder, Menzel or Grundy for me.
Seriously, with me seeing bugger all U/18 games, and after reading PRE in the lead up to the Draft, this was my fear about Tigger. Gee whiz, he looks a ripper!

Wow he's a righty? Most of his bios class him as a left so maybe he is good on both sides.
For some reason players with both sides are a rare attribute in AFL.
If he can kick on both then he'sgot the lot salems lot ;D >:D

Apologies I was wrong, I didn't remember correctly.
Looking at my notes he is left sided

Do we get Sabrina too?

How smoothly has this bloke slotted into senior footy that 4 1/2 hours after the game no one has mentioned him. 7th game, 22 touches and we take it for granted because we've rarely seen such a stone cold lock it in Eddie certainty to play 200 games and skipper the club. What a fruiting ripper.

No need to comment, don't want to jinx him.
A ready made gun

It's not just the touches he gets spooky one. His work rate without the ball is massive, competes, harasses and annoys ferociously. If it weren't so seriously depleted I'd nearly consider turning ginge.
