Have to do this.x2, a waste of a list spot IMO. I would've thought we could have had a crack at a young ruckman or KPD in that spot personally.
I expect us to take 2 picks to the draft. Any more would be a waste. Select a mature age ruckman and the best player available in the last pick. Then at the rookie draft pick up a 18 year old ruckman and a KP Defender, give them a couple years in the system and see if we can get them to develop well at the Maggies. The ruckman will probably be able to play in the academy side whilst the KP Defender could probably do a role in the senior SANFL team as we are lacking defensive height in that side.
Russell is 11 days off of being a 2014 draftee.
Players on Port Adelaide's AFL list as a Rookie or Senior player cannot play in the academy side no matter how young, this is already well known.
