Hickey, Longer then Pierce, then Holmes.
I think in 2 years time Hickey, Longer and Pierce could all be A to B grade 1st ruckman. I see Holmes as this athletic beast that could play CHB/CHF in a few years and I think its most important now to get Jolly in as a delisted FA/Coach. He could make a huge difference on these kids futures. I really think they'll get the deal done. 2 more players to be delisted. Ferguson and TDL/Saad/Milera/Maister
Ferguson is on the rookie list, that won't help.

Milera just got a 2 year deal, doubt that we would pay out 2 years. Saad yes, he will be banned
we need to keep a small foward, which one out of Milera or TDL do we keep?

Depends whether you're keeping for dependability or upside; TDL will most likely get you a goal a game or so but is never going to be a world beater it seems. Milera has talent to burn but seemingly just can't get his head right.

2nd year + never got a consistent run of games, hurts a confidence player,

Hopefully 2014 is his year, unlike a lot of other posters, I think his potential is huge,

I wonder what the new coach will have planned for Billy..
Depends on who we get.

I'd think the plans would stay mostly the same - 15 odd games for the year splitting the ruck work with Hickey and developing his forward game. Plenty of time for a 20 year old ruckman (that your club rated worth a top ten pick) to find his way.

What's Leppa got planned for all your top picks from the last few years of bottom dwelling? It'll be interesting to see how he develops top picks like Yeo, Docherty, Karnezis, Polec and Long... oh wait... All good though. You guys should be signing Luke McGuane any day now. At least you know you've got the list space for a 5th string forward :thumbsu:

Just because the Tigers had him behind JRoo, Vickery, A.Edwards and the incoming Hampson, doesn't mean you should feel bad that he would be your 2nd best tall forward in 2014.

That is of course, if Hanley and Rockliff will let that "Mummy's boy" get a game after walking out on Richmond to go home...

When you look at what Pearce Hanley said on his twitter it seems there was a definite divide between the young blokes and old blokes. Poor comment, poor culture, poor board, poor list, poor club financially. Makes the Saints seems like a good club to come too. Alllll Abooard!!!

Brian was taunting the karma gods with the shot at Brisbane and its culture with their current player exodus problems. Seems the karma bus that clipped Brisbane, did a hard right hander and ran the Saints right over.
