Cast off junk? Big men take time and mckenzie has an elite left food. Durdin had an injury played forst season and was tipped to go #6 in his draft year.
Two up an coming platers for a guy that isn't in your best 22.
I think a pick in the mid 30's is good enough. Just like it was when jacobs left port. We got 25 for greenwood and he finished equal 2nd in our B&F in a year we made a prelim. Lyon would be lucky to finish in the top 15 of your b&f this year.
First of all, McKenzie is junk. Chances of him reaching 50 AFL games are dwindling by the second. He is your version of Mitch Grigg, right down to his left boot being his one and only weapon. Not AFL standard. He'd likely be delisted if you didn't have so many retirees and Aaron Black / Nahas freeing up so many spots.
Durdin is a question mark. Maybe he'll develop into a nice player, maybe he won't. We didn't want him on draft day despite him being a local lad, and we took Lever instead. Don't think we're even close to changing our minds on that one, and we have no need for Durdin now with the emergence of Lever, Hartigan and very promising youngsters such as Keath and Doedee waiting in the wings for our defence. He's certainly not required up forward either.
Lyons will be top 12 in our B&F this year, well above the likes of Mackay, Thompson, Cameron and probably even Brodie Smith. Where will McKenzie come in yours?
Ben Jacobs at Port never approached a season of the standard Lyons has just put up. Lyons is worth a pick in the early to mid 20s, and even then I'll be gutted to lose him.
Who knows, maybe Dumont is looking to come back to SA and it'll be a straight swap. I quite like Dumont, but its a case of better the devil you know there. Would rather keep Lyons.
