I think a Bryan type is a more obvious need ..we have to start looking for a long term ruck options imo. Just gets down to how we rate him i guess..if we think he is several years away maybe let him slip thru

I dunno, l think we're a club that doesn't nurture ruck stock, we seem to want the hybrid dual role ruck/forward although other clubs are reverting back to traditional style rucks.
Wouldn't mind Rantall if he's available wins plenty of ball and his endurance is outstanding, running 5:50 with a footballers frame is pretty special.
He said it was a 16sec PB, performing at his very best when it mattered shows how determined he can be, "very impressive" imo.

Where I said last year I was referring to 2018 not the season just gone no data for 2019,so the figures were pre injury,additional information, laid just the six tackles in four games at the National Under-18 Championships.Defensive pressure is not Georgiades long suit,needs work.
Generally ... the best players are not the best at D ..they back their own talent... they get a big "welcome to big tent" when the play at afl level..and realise they are no longer good enough to be the Attack only
So many variables at play to predict this, but I think all of these are in contention with our available picks and are probably around this order (give or take a position or two):
B Kemp, L Jackson, D Robertson, D Stephens, F McAsey, J Sharp, C Taheny, D Williams, C Stephens, J Rantall, J Riccardi, N Bryan.
Will have my selections ready closer to draft date.

Optimistic unless we trade up.
Yeah, I meant who ever at of that group falls to Pick 14, we will most likely just pick best available. One should fall through to 14.

Casting a wide net there
Really can't see those fall regardless. Kemp with the ACL a possibility. We seem to be 1-2 picks off the top echelon I reckon with 14.

Re-rookie Hendo or do you think we try to mould Bennel into an Adam Saad type?

Harry on his last legs and Hendo gone and can't see Zuthrie doing anything but VFL wouldn't they think about Gouldie.
Too many of those third tall defenders on the list - O'Connor, Stewart, Okunbor, Kolo, Henry... All around that 189-193 range. Then there is blokes like Duncan and Guthrie and Zuthrie, and even Constable that they can send back there - all 187-191.
He is good I give him that, but just think the list has other pressing depth needs - namely a young gun midfielder, outside midfielder, medium marking forward, and key positions and a ruck.
In fact ..just about every other position before that HB role... I like Brock Smith and Jessie Clark as well...
Id say two mids min... and after that maybe a couple of best fit types.. meshed with best available..
Amongst that group there's only 1 lock defender obviously Stewart.
I think you're pushing it a little naming Okenbor, and Zuthrie shouldn't be on the list imo. I wouldn't be putting Constable in defence anytime soon, only Kolo and O 'Connor l like.
Not only is Gould’s kicking supurb it's the best in the draft, he could go forward or used midfield which is where he was at times averaging 26 possessions in the Carnival.
He averages 19 disposals SANFL at 90% and 8 rebound 50's l mean who does that!
He would walk into our side next year, ...he'll win a rising star mark my words!
Our team needs to toughen defence, it's what fell over in the end and Gould would go along way helping that out.
To many tall defenders 189/193? Mate this isn't the 1960's when ruckmen were 6'3" even Dangerfield is 189cm.
We're down x2 quality big defenders atm.

Gould is a bit undersized to be a KPD, he certainly wasn't playing KPD for the bays this year. If he's still around at 14 they'd consider him but he won't be replacing Harry or Hendo, probably replace Henry or MOC

What fell over in the end was playing our FB in the wing and having no KPF. I don't think depth of defenders was an issue.
I agree though Gould is under-rated due to his perceived athleticism issues and him not being in the top 10 would be a travesty. Would welcome him to the list if available, but you can't teach height
He's as big as Kolo and twice as aggressive and a better kick than everyone.
He'll probably play seniors rd 1 and is a shoein for a rising star probably multiples.
Get Gould.

Gould and McAsey are my first two picks followed by a player with leg speed then Bennell if that’s possible
Yep ditto that, if McAsey's gone then Worrell.
