Robbie Tarrant playing in defense is an option
Would need to be 2+ injuries to see him in the lineup.

He is more likely to pick up two injuries himself.

As a (waaaaay) left-field option has anyone considered Chris Knights?  28 years old, apparently did not miss a pre-season training session before christmas http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-12-29/new-dawn-for-knights , priced at 227.700 with the capability to go 80 - 85....

.... sure he's had his issues with injuries (a lot of them!), and he's probably been passed by a number of other players, but if he gets picked rd 1 (which is a big if), I reckon he could be a real unique rookie pick, or even possibly a downgrade target later on if Richmond get him to come-back through the VFL (which is far more likely)

Not the first time he's started the year around that price. Has never really been a hugely successful midprice pick before. Way back in the queue of players I want to fit into my forwards. But throw him in the backline and I'd jump right on hahaha....

two guys ill be all over if they get named.

Kieran Harper + Daniel Marksworth.

injuries have held them back but i have big faith in them if they can stay health and get a shot.

Harper doesn't get his hands on the ball enough for my liking, has been the case all through his junior career as well.

Think Harper's continued average form has held him back, too.
