"We always felt that Luke was a talented player, but we had to take some of the emotion out of it, and ensure that the pick we were going to use on Luke was equal to his value, so we hadn't arrived at that decision until just prior to the bidding system took place at the start of the trade period." - Bryce Lewis

 

"Trent played predominantly half-back at the National Championships. He carried a bit of an ankle complaint during that time. We see him as a versatile midfielder – very strong over the ball, distributes it well, makes very good decisions and is super competitive. An impressive young man who prepares well and gives himself the best possible chance." - Bryce Lewis

 

"It's great reward for Ben. He moved over from Glenorchy to Werribee in the VFL. As a tall, athletic strong marking forward/ruck, he ended up kicking 29 goals for the Tigers. He represented Tasmania a couple of years ago, had some injuries that might have held him back, but has got himself right. Being a little bit closer with our Werribee alignment may have given us a bit of an inkling." – Bryce Lewis
