Patrick Wearden

Brisbane Lions fans? What are his chances of debuting and finding a spot in 2014? Has been very very good as a rebounding defender in the NEAFL. Could be a handy selection if he is named.

Even with the departures can not see him making the grade this year either.  May get opportunities if injuries strike Harwood or Golby but would be competing with Tom Cutler and Maguire imo should that situation arise.

Wearden is only 192cm so is at that in between height for running defenders and KPP.  (Cutler and Maguire are also 192cm).

Other defender draftees McStay and Gardner are 196cm and 194cm respectively and they would be cover for the KPP along with Sam Michaels.

Sorry Shorty but bear in mind my opinion only,
