In an article posted on afl.com.au today, AFL writer Michael Whiting has listed the player's that he believes our Club must keep at all costs.

Here are who Whiting believes are our 'Untouchables':

Harris Andrews: He might have played just one season, but the young defender is one of the most important pieces of the Lions' puzzle. They desperately need key position players at both ends, and the 18-year-old has shown he could lock down a defensive post for the next decade or more.

Dayne Beams: Beams has a long-term deal and in 2015 showed why. He is an elite ball-winner and can go forward and kick goals. That's a rare combination in this league.

Pearce Hanley: The Irishman gives the Lions something they lack – class. His ability to break lines and use the ball with precision makes him the most damaging player on the list. He still has three years remaining on his contract and will be going nowhere.
