Suns are desperate for players but haven't they done Graham & Everitt already with Mitch Hallahan & Jarrod Grant?
Wouldn't be happy to lose the #5 but would have to be O.K. with a pick ~#16 coming back.

Cheers for sharing TP. Like the Suns like, don't like the GWS trade - think we could get both for 23 alone or forget Pickett. Not worth losing five.
If the #5 talk is true they must want to get ahead of the academy queue and get some talent in given their existing pick stock, but that being said, here's a quick list of names on the outer at GWS:
McCarthy
Finlayson
McKenna
Pickett
Marchbank
Stewart
Steele
Simpson
Downie
Barrett
Mohr
I'm sure others can think of a couple more, and most of those names are uncontracted (AFAIK). Their top 30 is great, but their final 14 (or so) is littered with LTI issues, average top 20 selections (law of averages really), and junk.
There's no reason why they can't take #23 for Marchbank, Stewart and Pickett IMO.
Given we have such an interest in Marchbank, we have to at least consider that there's a very good reason for that to be the case........but I don't think that the reason would be; "Let's stack our backline to the hilt at the expense of other areas of the ground"
I just see Weitering playing forward.
With Docherty, Plowman, Byrne and possibly Marchbank down back and that we're resolute in playing a team defence, we may not need Weitering at full-back as much as we think we may.
The guy is an aerobic beast, a leader, has a straight kick and reads the ball as well as anyone.......I just see him as forward, going.....forward.
