So we are left with 2 "valid" picks in the draft, yet have 4 open spots, possibly 5 if Lindsay heads to Port.

Could we open the door to 1 or 2 DFA's on 1 year deals as a last chance scenario?

Options:
Jonathan O'Rourke (23) - Former pick 2 crulled by hamstring injuries.

Ben Lennon (22) - Previous pick 12 and mate of Luke's

Michael Close (23) - 197cm and one i rated in his draft.

Jimmy Toumpas (23) - Former pick 4 who just hasn't put it together.

Tom Lamb (21) - Risky could be anything type from the day he was drafted.

Billy Hartung (22) - Quick former rising star nominee.

All fit reasonably into our age profile moving forward.

I'd be ok with Hartung and Sam Collins (although we do have decent KPD depth)
Pass on the rest

I’d take a punt on Lennon and O’Rourke

Lennon cause we could do with more depth in the mid to small forwards given we may loose Thomas.

O’Rourke for the gamble and huge potential as another Ahern type project mid.

Would only offer 1 year for both..
 
This could be a difficult question to answer, but how often does a bloke get delisted, get picked up by another club and then go on to have a decent career? I reckon they would be few and far between and I can't see anyone on that list being one of the few.

Wouldn't mind taking a punt on one. In order of preference:

Lennon
O'Rourke
Close
Hartung
Lamb
Toumpas

Seriously, I can see Lennon getting it together under the right circumstances. Never really managed to get going thanks to injuries.
