So yeah more news on it looking as though Lennon will slip to us - would be pretty stoked if he does! :o

I also really like Batsanis, would really add to our midfield!


BTW worth noting in that article our first rounders since '06 - Riewoldt, Cotchin, Vickery, Martin, Conca, Ellis, Vlastuin... We have done a damn good job!!

I'd be willing almost lock Bennon in as our pick should he be there come our pick. We won't pass him up I don't think.

Blacres, Crouchy and Zak Jones are the others according to the others.

I really like Blacres too tbh.

[elephants]

Blacres is abstaining from the draft until pick 31 :P

@kristianpisano: Walked past Punt Road this morning and looks like former Port Adelaide player Matt Thomas is training with the Tigers.
I reckon we'll pick up as a rookie, just for cover. I don't mind it, he's just replacing Lonergan.

Good news this.

I'd be very happy to rookie both Batsanis and The Tank.  ;)



Also heard Bennon is an 80% chance to be a Tiger.  :o ;D

Yep, initially I thought we would take Salem, but all I've been hearing lately is that we will be taking Lennon.

[Nige]

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.

Surely Blennon is a better nickname than Bennon??

Bennon sounds too much like Bennedy,  >:( ;)

[Mailman the 2nd]

How about an actual nickname rather than mashing a first and surname together :P

Yeah, IMO it has to be Blennon ;)

Haha nah, much more fun/easy this way :P

[elephants]

Or maaayybbbbeeee we should call him simply 'John' after the late great John Lennon? :P

Haha, yeah. It probably should be Blennon.

I reckon we'll eventually get him a nickname.

...BenLen?  :P

I could easily see him being nicknamed John or Jules... or maybe Beatle!  :o

I like Beatle, that'll stick... with me anyway.
