Hi Knightmare on Darcy Moore, I know you have mentioned he is more of a negating defender when he has played CHB in TAC Cup. Is this more because of his playing style / ability or the fact he was playing on there number 1 tall? Reason I ask, can you see him playing games over the next few years as the 3rd tall? Or is he not athletic enough for that type of role
Hey Knightmare any Vic Private school kids shaping as possible draftees for the 2015 draft?

Josh Simpson DFA?
Josh Simpson DFA?
Knight I know nick Perrie and theo Thompson what do you think if them? Also do you know any 2016 private school prospects?
The media thought in his draft year that Collingwood were into Simpson.
Simpson has probably done his dash and if you can't make it under Ross Lyon who is a terrific coach it's against the odds he makes it elsewhere. The professionalism doesn't seem to be there and that's not likely to change greatly in our program and with few leaders.Ball did well when he left because of Ross Lyons

Ball also did well at St Kilda under Lyon but didn't consistently receive the minutes that he should to maximise his production.

I think Hine must've known that Aish is looking to leave, hence the early strong stance on asking for a player along with pick 5
KM, on Jarrod Pickett, Is he a natural wingman type or an outside centre square midfielder or is he a forward that plays allot of midfield?
Pickett for me is a natural wingman. Just a terrific linebreaker you want to give as much outside space to as possible. He can play on a forward flank or push at times into the front half and hit the scoreboard but he looks best up the field.
Think of Pickett as being able to play a similar role to Lewis Jetta. He doesn't have the same penetration on his kick but otherwise they are largely on and the same in terms of role and the types of things they can do out on the field.
It looks to me as though he will leave Brisbane when his contract is finished, probably to Adelaide. Brisbane have tried to resign him a few times already.Aish looking to leave?
At Collingwood or Brisbane it's hard to see him looking to leave. All indications as far as I'm aware with Aish have always been that he would stay, regardless of where he landed last year.
They've been trying to re-sign him since April. He's just delayed talks again till the end of preseason.It looks to me as though he will leave Brisbane when his contract is finished, probably to Adelaide. Brisbane have tried to resign him a few times already.
Would Pickett's inside game be better than Jetta's or have the scope to be better?

If he delays talks again next year then the Brions will be getting very nervous.
"Aish's manager Liam Pickering" http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-10-21/lions-confident-on-aishI dont know if hes managed by pickering but i would definatly be getting nervous if he was.

Whilst I agree with KM's comment that Aish could just be looking to maximise his value with a strong 2nd season it seems strange to delay until pre season - can't see what would have changed by then so I expect the 'at least' part to come into play and won't feel sorry for Lions if they get nervous. Hope Aish drags it out as long as possible whichever way he goes.
Hey KM, any nuggets of gold in the delisted players?
There is occasionally some players that are worth the risk post delisting that fill needs, provides depth or simply deserve a chance and that are going to be superior options to draftees. In our case experienced bodies can help.
Any of these names worth considering as rookies or delisted free agent additions:
1. Lewis Johnston - I am a fan of this guy, only 23, squeezed out of Adel due to forward depth plus some persistent injuries. One of the better kicks in the AFL. I personally think he can be damaging played back instead of forward in a Josh Drummond type role. Must pass a medical though.
2. Shaun McKernan - not sure what happened to him as he was promising, never had an opportunity. Not sure on him, purely depth player.
3. Mitch Robinson - I am employing the no DK rule here. However, can be an impact player if we had balls to pick him. Unfortunately too much baggage, he is really on the nose and suspect there is more to his behaviour than the public knows.
4. Josh Simpson - Only putting up as he was a fan fave in his draft year, wasted talent along the lines of Dayle Garlett. A flight risk, but undeniable talent...maybe needs years in the WAFL to sort himself.
5. Mitch Brown - Keen on peoples thoughts on him. He has some great size & was surprised he was delisted by the Cats but they
added Stanley, Clark and have Vardy returning so probably too many competing talls, also he had injury woes. I think he is a great option for us as I am always concerned what we would do should the durable Cloke go down. This guy can play a key position role, dominant in VFL and deserves an AFL spot somewhere IMO.
6. Taylor Hunt - A very average player but a trier and has potential to tag effectively which is relevant now Caff is hurt. Young enough to improve.
7. Jack Hutchins - a squeezed out Sun who is an effective defender, probably not right for our list given depth here.
8. Derick Wanganeen - never going to make the Hawks best 22 as they are full of quick talented smalls. The games I have seen of him he was very elusive, very handy and fits a list need. I had Jeff Garlett pencilled to that role but I think it still needs filling and not sure the draft will do it for us. The Hawks tried to turn him into a defender but he is clearly to me a small forward. His defensive pressure is good and is very much a one touch player.
9. Clint Jones - as a tagger perhaps, adds experienced body
Out of those I would seriously consider Johnston (after Bucks gets the inside word from old mate Sando), Mitch Brown and Wanganeen.
