    I wouldn't say no to: (Assuming none of the higher rated players slide)
    Pick 13 - Josh Worrell
    Pick 53 - Callum Jamieson

    In the unlikely scenario that we traded picks:
    Two from Miles Bergman, Jay Rantall, Mitch Georgiades and Trent Bianco would be in the mix
    How did Weightman test at the combine?

        His athletic traits aside from his vertical leaps isn't anything to get excited about and he is slow for 5 and 10mtr sprints but a bit better at the 20mtr sprint. His endurance wasn't bad but below average

          Can probably see why he would slide from the predicted top 7 or 8 he was touted to be early. I was starting to come to terms with his likelihood, but this makes me nervous.

            Wouldn't be surprised if we go for Bianco as he's Jamarra's teammate at the Chargers and if you're getting a "once in a decade" talent for peanuts the club may see familiar faces to help him settle in as a valid reason to push one player ahead of others.

              I thought we might be interested in Dylan Williams for the same reason & the fact they have played forward together.

                Has anyone found any clarity about whether Khamis is now Category A or B?

                  Most of the ‘experts’ are going with Pickett being taken before our first, narrowing our selection down to Weightman or Bergman.
                  Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                    Weightman's latest interview certainly sounds like he expects to go to the Bulldogs.
