If we managed to get Rainbow, maybe at long last Joffa will get his wish as the Magpie Army stands arm in arm at the 'G' and sings 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow'. I'd like to see (and hear) that.

Assuming GWS take Pickett at 4 then I think it's down to Laverde and Langford for us.
I'm leaning towards Laverde but the stats for Langford (and De Goey) are remarkably similar to Laverde.
Langford being 8 months or so younger than both would have to be in his favour when Hine is trying to predict what the players will become 3 years down the track.

I've been changing my mind constantly, but now i'm leaning towards Langford. Having looked his stats, I noticed he averages more marks, tackles and goals than Laverde....and as swoop commented, he's about 8 months younger. It may just be that Hine rates him as having more potential improvement. Either way, we're sure to get a great player.
