I’d say more low risk, low reward. He’s never going to be a gun at AFL level.
The main thing Keays lacked was good disposal under pressure. And pace.
He’s an inside mid, but never got a run in that position for us. Has worked very hard to become a medium pressure forward.
At worst, he provides experienced depth.
Hopefully he shows he’s a level above the SANFL.

That he went and privately got coached in sprints and kicking shows he has the drive that is needed to become a regular top 22.
Also showns he comes from enough money for such things and this is also almost a necessary part of making it to Afl nowadays.

Can still be picked up before next season.

Skinner, C Lyons and Archie all got another Lions guernsey
No Nick Robbo there yet,
I'm not entirely sure whether or not there are more selections to come of that's it.

Jeez, I just watched that first interview of Deven. The look of him sitting there next to his mum and not getting called in the first round, he looked mighty pissed. Looks like we have a kid who will be trying to prove a point in 2020. Can't wait !

Very happy for Ben. Despite his outstanding from this year, he was never awarded an opportunity (mainly due to our remarkable run with injuries). I really hope he succeeds at Adelaide and can secure a regular spot in the senior team.

Anyone up to date with what picks we have next year?
I think we still have our first 2 picks.
We have ports 1st,
? traded out the Pies 2nd?
I'm sure we did another trade or 2 but can't recall

Surprised that Lewy Taylor hasn't been picked up, or have I missed something?

Still placed remarkably well for next year. Would like to see minimal list changes and hopefully us trade in another gun with those two first rounders.

I like that you are bullish Mr.R,could you offer a current player comparison (closest to) ?

Don't know enough about current players to be able to make a comparison.
Ben played with my son in juniors. My sone actually played with Ben's older brother and their day was the coach. Little Benny as he was know was 2 years younger and had to play with his older brother as their dad couldn't be in 2 places at once. He is a tough little bugger and totally dedicated, he will do what ever it takes you can be sure of that. If you watch him train he runs with a really strait back and ducks his head at the moment he kicks the ball which I think means he takes his eyes off the target for a split second. His best game was probably the Port Adelaide game last year down your neck of the woods and he was unlucky not to stay in the team except he replaced McCluggage. He played a lot of forward flank in our reserves this year and is a good shot at goal but sits behind quite a few of the same type we have. He will work hard at what ever is told is needed of him thats for sure. You have a good one, I don't think you will find a Lions supporter that is not wishing him all the best.
Legendary stuff!

Dodo seemed peeved that they couldn't nab him.
Agreed so much untapped talent out there
