    I'm the same ... if we use the pick we got for Hudson, I wouldn't have a problem.

        Yep, he would be. Hope we look at him with a late pick.

            I'm guessing we won't because we could have traded for him but didn't. The problem we face is what pick to use for him.

            I'd be happy if we picked him up.

                    This has been spoken about enough. You've got rocks AP if you think that's the whole story.

                    I'd rookie him.

                        But now, as a rookie, little to lose.

                            I would be happy for him to kick a few of our current list.

                                Our forwardline is going to get monstered next year.

                                    Yes from me as well. Fills a fairly big hole in this side and will help soften the load a little for Jones.

                                        It's a yes from me. The big guy gives %100. I think a new club could see the best from him for 2-3 years.

                                            I don't see the advantage of having him as a rookie listed player. He isn't going to provide leadership at Willy like Hahn did.

                                            If he is in form we can't play him unless a long term injury occurs.
                                            More of an In Bruges guy?

                                                    Fair enough. You know I respect your thoughts. Given the situation and the back story, I'm ok with him giving Cloke a boot in the pants.

                                                    Cheers.

                                                        I'm fine with him. Big mature body that is at least capable of playing as a proper KPP down back, forward or even in the ruck. And he is also a little aggressive, which is something some of our players lack.
                                                        I should leave it alone but you're not right

                                                            Do you think if we did acquire his services, we could play him back and throw Brian Lake forward to try and counter the monstering ?
