54 - BEN WARREN
Zillmere Eagles, 11 February 1989, 185.9cm, 77.9kg

The Lions are endevouring to select as much local talent as possible and Ben Warren will be right in their thoughts around this mark. He has been highly rated by several recruiting managers, while an injury during the year has also resulted in some clubs thinking he may need another year in the AFLQ. The signs are that he is a reasonable chance to be drafted with Adelaide, Port Adelaide and Essendon also showing interest. Should the Lions opt for other options at this point, keep an eye out for Perth speedster Sharrod Wellingham, who has attracted plenty of interest from the Lions, after his state-screening efforts in Western Australia. It is believed he is under strong consideration from the Lions.

Highlights/achievements: Talented forward who has really impressed at senior level this year after missing championships due to injury. Covers the ground, footy smart and a good finisher

Some of these guys cannot read out a few numbers without stuffing up and they sound like I do after I've had 25 pots.

So if we use this last pick - someone's head will be on the block.

 

[Benno_900]

If we don't pass the next one, I think we're going to delist one of Urch/Grima.

 

[Pykie]

Best thing about this draft is that we havnt gotten any slow players, all are very quick and cover the ground well for their relative size.

 

[kangas_babe]

at the dinner i was at on wednesday night there cannot be any more delistings

 

[=KaNga=]

good point Pykie, i was initially dissappointed with Goldstein purely because he was a ruckman, but pretty happy with it now.

Thanks, moomba. Maybe we don't need Edwards now??

 

[Pykie]

Nathan Batsanis or Edwards, and then we have the rookie draft. Still alot of good players.

 

[=KaNga=]

It's Edwards.

 

[The Zebra]

Got him!

Very interesting

 

[Mr Reliable]

Edwards- you can never have enough forwards.

I can't believe we'll pass up the chance to have effective pick #1 in the PSD.

 

[=KaNga=]

we can still delist players cant we?

so we could still be able to use our pick in the PSD.

I am pretty sure you can.

As Mr. Reliable said, would be strange if we gave up a PSD pick, but there isn't much out there so it might depend on ongoing player negotiations with other clubs (if there are any players still unsigned).

 

[Gumbyroo]

is the rookie draft today or after the pre-season draft?

 

[Benno_900]

After PSD
