I agree though, for him to make it, it will come down to application on the track.

I certainly remember Lofts. #16. Was a big fan of his ability, if not his moustache :D

Oh, and on Winmar, let's actually see him in at least a practice match before we cast him aside as the next Brad Howard.

Remember, there have been plenty of guys who blitzed at the draft camp and never played a single game, and Winmar won't be the first draftee who sits near the back of the pack during time trials in his first professional pre-season. He's quite tall for a wingman (190cm),. Maybe he is still growing...

One thing I like about Winmar is that he is a very good kick. Theres a few videos of him on youtube and I reckon he could possibly rival Goddard as one of the better kicks at the club. At the 40sec and 2:40sec marks of the video you can see he can kick it a fair way with good penetration.

No one here seems to rate Heyne...

I think he could play a couple of games this year.

Please quote me if he doesn't...
