Guys we will pick up a key fwd with our first draft pick and we hope that we finish bottom 3 (without tanking of course).
As I write this, Port are on top of the ladder. Why and how have Port done what they have done? Yes there are many reasons but essentially it helps enormously that they have about 6 or 7 top 10 draft picks playing for them. We have one - pick 3 Billings. (Forget how good Dunstan and Acres will become for a second as technically they are not top 10 picks even though we can all agree that they will end up playing like they are one

)
We desperately need a top 2-5 pick this year for an elite key fwd, a further top 4-9 pick next year for another elite player as well as perhaps a free agency elite player and now we are starting to build a worthy list for our next premiership crack.
So back to 2014 - ideally one of Wright, McCartin, or Durdin. Of those 3 assuming Wright is pick 1 then I would like Durdin who I think I read was listed at 197cm. Having Durdin, Stanley, & Lee as the tall fwds with Stanley as the relief ruck would be great!! There are others on here who know more than I about the 2014 draftees including
Rahul but that has to be our main aim this draft period. "Operation Get that Key Fwd who will lead our forward line post Reiwoldt"
Reality check peeps - our best players this season really have been Joey, Lenny, and Roo. I think we have the players to replace Joey and Lenny but we still need players to replace Reiwoldt......as well as Goddard & Dal Santo at a minimum. You see where I am going with this?
