Or... because there aren't any other Lennons in the AFL...  we could just call him Lennon   :P

Could do.  ;)

But nicknames are great.  ;D

Imagine all the Tigers.... Celebrating next Thursday.... Ooh ooh ooooh. ;)

I'm getting worried about the latest rumours...

The word is that if we have a choice of Salem and Beatle (;)) - we'll take the former. I know Salem is a gun, but I like some of the other guys more.

[Toga]

The fact that Beatle did a week at Punt Rd while in the AIS squad makes me feel as though we're a bit attached to him ???

Yeah, it just seems like another reason to pick him.

I'm still hoping Brisbane take Nathan Freeman so that the Dees take Salem.  ;D

[Toga]

Would Brisbane be at all interested in Salem? If they are I think it's a certainty that he'll be gone by our pick...

I've decided I'd be happy either way with Lennon or Salem, both have a lot they could add to our 22!

Did you guys read this? http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/pick-me-ben-lennon-can-make-things-happen-and-has-the-pies-lions-and-tigers-keen/story-fni5f22o-1226757595829
This was gold from Choco  ;D

He spent time at Punt Rd this year as part of the AIS/AFL squad, where one message from straight-shooting development coach Mark Williams was "shave your beard off, you look like a d---head".

From what I know, Brisbane would probably take Schaz is he was there but not Aish. They're also interested/have been linked to McCarthy, Freeman and Lennon...

As far as I know, Melbourne and Collingwood are the only others after Salem, mainly because he's not expected to last beyond us.

Me too Toga, I'd be happy with either of them.

As I've said, I'm happy with Salem... but Beatle.  :-*

Nathan Freeman is too long of a name. He's quick right? Lets call him Cathy after Cathy Freeman ;)

P.S. Love Beatle as a nickname haha

Beatle has to catch on, it just has to...  ;D

Yeah, it's being said that Salem will go at 9 or 10 to the Dees or Pies respectively, paving the way for Benny to slide on through to Punt Rd. 8)

Yeah, he'll be a good pick up for either of them. Lennon shouldn't get picked up before our first pick and I think it's unlikely we'll pass on him, unless there's a massive slider such as Scharenberg.

Maybe Scharenberg may be the slider  :o

If him and Lennon were available at 12 that would be a difficult choice. Scharenberg is a top 5 pick on talent, I rate him pretty highly.
