Dane Harvey a bit of a surprise, what's his story?
Harvey looks like a young Fev :)
There's your answer really, just doesn't seem to have the fitness base despite some promising moments.

Not really able to explode away from opponents despite an explosive leap. It's been two years of the same from him, in and out of the team.
got strength and aggression, Riley has height, a deft touch and dexterity.

Where's Flynn's likely draft area?
Late-Rookie.

Not a bottom ager, and rucks are either top rated juniors or picked late
Pre-season selection, at best.

And it's usually someone of the calibre of daicos or Neale. Which. That's just not fair on cinc or his team mates struggling to keep up with those types he's just not a tagger.
No matter where he has played he has been a close checker who doesn't know much about what to do with space when it's afforded to him, usually just bolts 40+ m and sprays the ball, which is why he was removed from defence.

Everywhere else, he plays hot potato despite being clean with the footy. Just doesn't seem to be able to make enough smart decisions under pressure.

Close checking is fine. Just don't want to see him being pulled to every stoppage following a class A midfielder ever again.

He gets lost at an AFL level stoppage most of the time, and we've got better bulls unless it's a foot race. I just can't see a place for him on the list if he can pick up his endurance and lose a few kgs to be more mobile.

29 next year and came to us with injury issues that will always cut his season short, just no point.

Good move putting Riley on ice
Interesting Pitto in and 19yo young gun ruck Harding added for an audition. Like that we have an eye to the future. If Fantasia fit and left out of ones could well be prophetic. Gov in twos I absolutely love, no trigger.
