Just looking at some of the other clubs.
I think Hawthorn cleary think they are in premiership mode and are capable of winning it in 2008. The Hawks still need a big bodied defender and at 12 Rance was sitting there. But they took Rioli, who had his tyres pumped up massively around the carnival and some inflated bags of goals helped his cause. But Rioli is a finisher, same with Dew, will have to lose 15kgs to get back to his normal rotund size. I think they went for wants instead of best available. I think they have jumped the gun just a tad to early by not taking Rance.
Also think Geelong had a odd bunch. Harry Taylor will be ready made at with good size and pace it is a risk the Cats can afford to take. The Catters took quite a few project types. Suppose they see there list as having enough home grown growth to cover it for the coming years and far enough.
