    I was going to write, that maybe the thinking is that he needs a couple of years to be ready and at that stage he can be lured back through the go home factor, but that seems a risky and perhaps improbable strategy.

      I'm sorta glad that Geelong and St Kilda cleared a couple of ruckmen off the board, just in case our recruiters were tempted.

        We know Cochran best, but he seems a low risk pick at that range of the draft. Odd.

        But I guess it makes sense in light of the selection of Andrew.

          It seems we like Riak Andrew more than Joel Cochran.

            Sydney finally nail a bid ... recruiting Riak Andrew from the Melbourne NGA. I hope he turns out as good as his brother.

              I didn't mind that Carlton matched our bid for Camporeale, but I'm now really hoping that Melbourne don't match our bid for Riak Andrew.

                'He finished the season strongly, shutting down Jack Whitlock, Harry Armstrong and Jobe Shanahan across the last month.

                That trio are widely viewed as the three best key forwards in the draft class, with Andrew critically showing his defensive capabilities which had previously been questioned by scouts.

                “The focus is positioning, not going body-on-body because a lot of these key forwards are stronger than me so it was honing-in on (playing) on the back shoulder so I can run and jump and spoil the ball,” Andrew said.'

                      Andrew looks like a good intercept mark.

                              In the general vicinity of Mac would be very good. If given the choice of any player to bring to the Swans, I'd be tossing up between Sam Darcy, Harley Reid and Mac Andrew.

                                I suspect that everyone knows that Riank is Mac Andrew's younger brother. Looks a good roll of the dice.
