Does anyone know Putt?
Hes 202cm and 90kg, so hes a big boy, but can he play?

Thrilled with Cotchin and especially Rance at 18.

I was surprised Tarrant got picked up so early as well.
Here is Putt's profile :- Calder Cannons, VIC, Ruckman, April 10 1989, 202.5cm, 89.7kg - One of the best prospects from this year's state-based screening, Putt is a little difficult to place in the overall scenario, although in recent weeks he has firmed as a likely draft prospect. Bio: Athletic tall with good speed and endurance combination, highlighted by 2.93sec for 20m and 14.1 Beep Test at the recent NAB AFL State Screening Session.
RIchmond did really well with securing Rance at Pick 18, I was expecting him to go a little earlier.

rightio, cheers.

Im happy with Rance as well...he didnt even enter my thoughts at 18 cos i thought hed be taken at 15 at the absolute latest.

Rance is good, but not very mobile, pretty slow apparently.

[cormick]

I read that he was pretty agile...the modern day full back...

[Brades]

Not from what I heard out West anyway.

[cormick]

ah yep fair enough.
Im happy with him either way.

Looking back, I like all of our picks. David Myers is a great leader, has exceptional skills, is a ball magnet and has great composure. Tayte Pears is very quick for a tall fella, takes a great mark and like Myers, has great composure and skills. Darcy Daniher seems like an Adam Hunter type, can play either forward or back, with a strong pair of hands. Cale Hooker is a extremely quick 197cm guy, who can go forward and kick a couple of goals. So we've adressed most of our back problems with this draft, last year we adressed our midfield problems, and next year we'll probably go after a gun key - forward & some mids, much like the Doggies did this year, by taking Grant with pick 5 & Ward with 19.

Known for his skills rebounding from defensive 50.
