I'm officially on the bandwagon.

Luke may not be the key forward we are looking for but i like what i see on YouTube. Rated the best kick in the draft (we know Bailey places a high premium on kicking skills) and is dangerous around goal. He also has the body type to play on-ball and help out Jones and Moloney.
He looks like he has a bit of agro about him aswell which our forward line is currently lacking - Watts and Bate aren't exactly the most threatning of customers..

^This article has Port taking Butcher and Melksham which would leave only Essendon between us and Tapscott. If he is there at 11 we should definitely bite. Chances are Carlisle, Black or Griffiths will still be there at 18.

He's also Trengove's best mate which will help them both settle at Melbourne:thumbsu:
 
Could imagine us being tempted by Lucas if he fell through - but not sure Tapscott has enough game to make us overlook remaining KPP's such as Black, Talia or Carlisle.

He reminds me a bit of Matthew Bate with a better kick - not sure if we need another in that role ahead of more important positions such as KPP's and midfield runners.
 
If he's there at 18 (highly doubtful) we should definitely get him, need to improve our teams footskills. My ideal draft would see butcher at 11, tapscott 18 and gawn 34

jumped off the bandwagon a couple of weeks ago myself but I wouldn't be devastated if we took him at 11 (unless Butcher/Talia/maybe Black are available)
 
As picking up Ball is looking more and more unlikely, and picking up Thorp is starting to become apparent, I think we should take this guy with 11 and look at panos or carslile at 18, he is ready made, instant impact and is one of the top kicks at the draft. Is Trengoves best mate so would end the talk about the "Go Home" factor.
