What we need is for Rendell to pull out a Tex Walker from late in the draft

Agree though, seems more than likely we use those picks to upgrade a couple of rookies than bring in a draftee, but wouldn't rule out a Hine special. |
I reckon it depends on how high some of these academy bids are because there's a chance that our late picks could move up the order quite a bit.
With a bit of luck 66 could become 52, 77-60, 83-65 and 84-66. Looking at the draft order, the picks between 33 and 44 are mostly going to points.
Not sure if that will change Hine's thinking, but it's worth noting. |

| Knew they were shopping him about during the trade period but that comes as a bit of a shock. I know he can be hot and cold. A lot like Jack Watts in a lot of ways. |

| He's been extremely disappointing for them IMO, I'm not shocked they've given up. |

Oxley, Gault and Abbott are still uncontracted in 2016 I believe - can anyone confirm?
FWIW the experience (average games played) of our list has changed significantly since last year:
top 22: 112 (99)
top 25: 104 (90)
top 30: 89 (79)
all: 64 (53)

Read what a few have said we may do.
Not sure Abbott and Gault will be elevated - frost will you'd think. I love Abbott but think they might hold off for now.
We've lost 8 senior players and brought in 3 with one Maybe two rookie upgrades.
We Would use our first draft pick youd think, then rookie up to the list number we are aiming for.
I have a feeling though we may bring in one more senior player. Might be a current delisted player onto the senior list,however I get a feeling we could run with a VFL player as a rookie.
Really wouldn't mind Still or young Pendleberry from our VFL side.

Surely we have a go at signing Moore as a delisted FA.
