They say
'We've brought some young players into the club who have shown a good attitude and also have a lot of ability, who still have plenty of development left in them.' -  recruiting manager Stephen Wells

We say
After trading away its experienced campaigners in the trade period, the Cats had a youth focus during the 2013 draft week. Its three national draft picks - Darcy Lang, Jarrad Jansen and Jake Kolodjashnij - were based on the premise of taking the best players available. Specific needs were also addressed in the rookie draft, with James Toohey and Nick Bourke a pair of talented players brought into the fold. The Cats also continued their run of bringing in untried players, signing star junior basketballer Michael Luxford as a Category B rookie. - Ben Guthrie
