jetta Gumby Crameri > Lynch Darling Nicoski
Daniher Hurley davey > Cox Kennedy Lecras

In terms of mobility we have them covered pretty well. It'll definitely work as long as TBC and Ryder don't play together

Daniher won't be ready at least until his 4th year in the system. Right now it's this:

Gumbleton-Hurley-Jetta
Crameri-Ryder-Winderlich

With T-Bell and Ryder rotating through there. Hopefully Crameri can adapt into a better Monfries. We'll only fit Crameri, Gumbleton and Monfries in the same side if Hurley's injured

He is as skinny as a bean. He needs at least 3 pre-seasons to get the muscle he needs to be ready for AFL, as well as another season to get used to it. He won't be ready
So we are going to play him in the VFL for the first three years until he has the muscle to play AFL?

If 2013 is like 2012, he will play every game.

remember, daniher ain't gonna be taking his marks through body contests like hawkins.

unless he gets some games in the vfl we'll be going into the pre-season with no real idea when he'll be ready and so on

Muscle =/= "ready".

Gunston's still as skinny as a rake. Westhoff. Sam Reid. Even Buddy.

All did plenty as underdeveloped kids.
Gunston's KPP competition: Walker (out of favour), Tippett, McKernan (injured a lot)
Westhoff: no-one
Reid: LRT
Buddy: no-one

The big difference is that Daniher will have 3 established Key forwards to compete with. If we're grooming him for that FF/5 minutes in ruck per q role, he'll need muscle.

Elite Talls always play at least 10 games in their first year - injuries permitting - Strat to impact in their second year - and can have a major impact in their third year.
