Noonan is worth a shot as a mid-late pick.
For the record I have been saying for 2 years good tall defenders dont grow on trees and we would miss Zac.
Fact is there are no gun tall defenders available anywhere. No cheap/easy gets. We need to develop our own. Noonan might be a 2 year development but thats reality. A Darren Glass or a Daniel Talia isnt going to stroll into Seaford and say 'hi guys Im here!'
We need another 193 cm player like i needed another drink on GF day.

Agree with that and I drank an enormous amount that day
i think 193cm is ok if they have long arms and can jump or are very strong..
Fisher/Simpkin/Dempster - (all 191)/Gwilt (188) all lack that little bit of height and Gilbo lacks the meat/strength.
Glass is only 192cm but he is super strong and knows judo.
I think we need more 191cm players like a hole in the head. Agree on that.

Yep and those you mentioned weigh about the same as Simpkin. Amazing 193 is OK when those 2 are that height. If they 192 that would be ok too. Glass is a star. Those other 2 are no where near it yet. Simpkin would go as well as them at FB based on height and weight. Based on skill Simpkin would be much better at the moment.

I thought Tippett sounds like he's going really well after being moved down back at SANFL level. But Plugger has written him off because he was at another club and was then delisted- Plugger has told me several times I have no idea about footy, so we should ring Pelchen and let him know this one's off the cards.

Pelchen left it to Plugger to find him a CHB and we know how that turned out. I don't think the Pelican will be consulting plugger anytime soon...

Make up your mind.
I looked up his height and weight. i have actually never heard of him. Not sure I rated him. On height and weight we have similar. Waste of a pick. Let our recruiters getter a bigger body.

Funny I thought the club wanted a FB. Gringo there you go again making things up. Please find a post where I said any such thing about Tippett. Now stop lying.
