Is there actually talk of the rules changing or is there just talk on this board because it would be just our luck to miss out on a gun youngster?

It will be just our luck

roodog, how about nick salter? worth a late pick?

dont anything about him sorry!

by the way i dont think we will take any risks this draft so i highly doubt we will pick up Reddo

We really shouldn't be taking any risks especially with earlier picks. Pick 40 and onwards I am all for taking punts especially on ruckman such as Brad Moran or Shane Neaves

I reckon we should take a punt on moran.. he set a new 20m record man... hes really really fast for a ruckman
Brad Moran
Details:
Club: Surfers Paradise/Queensland
DOB: 29 August 1986 Hgt: 200cm Wgt: 91kg
Position: Ruck
Natural Foot: Right

Honours:
Queensland 2004
State Screening Camp 2004

Strengths: One of the more interesting stories of 2004, Moran moved to Australia from Stratford in England less than two years ago. After trying rugby he was urged to play Aussie Rules and was spotted by Roger Merrett.

A huge kid, Moran stunned everyone when he ran 2.78 seconds in the 20m sprint at state screening camp to break the previous record. He is reportedly the best trainer in the Queensland squad and has been working very hard to improve his game.

Weaknesses: As you would expect of a kid who had never even seen a game until 2 years ago, he is very raw. Skills are OK but he gets lost very easily on the football field and has a lot to learn.

Footydraft.com comment: A 200cm player with his speed would have to be considered, but he is so raw a rookie list with the Lions might be his best chance.
