    First New Draftee to Debut in 2016?

    So who gets to be head of the class from the 2015 draftees?

    Collins, Dunkley, Adams or Williams?

    Adams, Collins, lock in.

    Adams because he is "mature aged" and apparently can play forward or back.

    I would expect Adams to be first to debut, but we need to get the NAB Challenge series done to see who really puts their case to be selected.

    If we take a cautious approach with Libba, Bont and Jong, then I suspect Dunkely may be first.

    The Specimen is also a good bet, particularly if Roberts is eased into the season.

    I'll go with Dunkley. I'd think Adams would need to be pretty impressive in the nab cup to be in with a chance for early selection.

    Since I haven't got my underdog to back anymore, I'll go with Williams.

    Dunkley will be the first to debut. Doing well in the preseason.

    If Adams s as big and STRONG, as all the talk says he is, then, he is the type of defender we need to deal with forwards like Roughead, Hawkins and Walker. I really hope he can play and that controlled aggression is part of his armoury. I think we need a bit of that.

    Given that we don't play against teams with particularly big forwards in the first few rounds, I would say Hamling and Roberts will get first crack at the KPD spots early in the season. So I'll go with Dunkley to debut first.

    Rookies count? I'd reckon Adcock would be in the mix.

    Good point why would you sign up Adcock at his age if you aren't going to play him, he is our Crameri replacement.

    He can cover at both ends of the ground. I think he will play quite a few games this year
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    Agree. If we can get as much out of him as we did from someone like Bruce Duperouzel then we are in for a good year. Duper was terrific for us and played a number of roles. Adcock can do same.
