Hope he is doing some work on Van Rooyen , Bazzo , Williams & Erasmus
Reckon he would be pretty familiar with all that bunch Turk....he got some good words from Clarke for his efforts thus far. As JVR has come through the Claremont path reckon Sam would have seen a fair bit of him over the others. I've spotted Sam at a few colts games but I'm too timid to approach him to have a few words!

Nice little summary from Darft Central for a number of that lot here

Any love for Gibcus?
I’m thinking a tall defender is a priority over relatively short tall forwards around the 194cm mark unless they’re extremely mobile like JR.

Yes alot of love and will most likely be the 1st KPP drafted imo
Thinking he goes inside top 10 and out of our reach

Think he can play half forward. George and Dan are struggling.
We have no one else in their places and he is better overhead and a tough nut.
Ideal player to keep Lever or Salem busy, or Rich or Stewart. Could be quite a win if that frees up one of our talls
and means we don't have to play 3 talls all the time at the expense of run and pressure.
I agree he is a Townsend choice and just what we are missing.
If you look at the losses to the top 3 sides you can see that what he brings up forward would make us goals better and opposition goals weaker.
Inspired choice.
Jake Lever stocking up on the Depends in case Melbourne play Richmond again, and MP lines up on him.

I suppose if we want him bad enough, we’ll have to bundle our considerable picks or include a player and hope there’s interest.

Looks like he will be wearing the #37
Not one of the most noticebale guernseys through RFC history.

The great Michael Green of course wore it best in the most games if I recall correctly.

Damien Ryan, Richard Lounder, Kyle Archibald, Jayden Post and of course most recently Connor Menadue were others.

IIRC Marc Dragicevic also started out in the 37 before switching to the #7.

Yep big Ty Esler, and the Big "O" Orren Stephenson also wore it from memory.
I was always impressed by Esler until I noticed him acting like a kid at Waverley one night in one our pre-season games.
