View Full Version : Hadrill
We should go after Robbie Hadrill in the PSD
Before injury he was a star.
Fev rated him by far best FB in the league.
Grover, Johnston, McFarlin, Thornton all tall defenders have made it hard for him.
He has had injuries but he's a very smart player
Suits us to a TEE

You might have to listen to SEN to find out for sure.

Don't tell KB
I actually think Miller will go for an outside running flanker type.
Not sure why just get that feeling

Haddrill would be good if he makes it through the National Draft. A little short and light, but you can't argue with his ability... just his ability to not be injured.

Perhaps delist Saddington, and pick up Haddrill late in the National Draft (pick 60 or something?). Leaves us with a PSD pick still in tact.

Jamison will be our fullback. Much prefer him to Haddril. No thanks.

I would take him for a few years, only if we got him with our 2nd round PSD pick, if we have one, which is unlikely IMO.

Jamison is raw and needs help at FB.

I wouldn't say he is raw. I'd say he is perfect to fill our void at FB. Watch this space. The guy is a human glove.
We don't need to recruit injury-prone duds axed from other clubs because Jammo is our answer to FB.

if hadrill was good he wouldn't have been delisted.
He's already 26. Height 188cm and weight 98kg.:eek: Hope its muscle

If you want him he'll be yours, Remember that Richmond might want Collard/MOurish or hell even dunn
Bloody Freo, We didn't get involved in trade talks just so we could get invloed in the pre season draft, and i know there's no trading involved i was only being silly

I wouldn't mind picking him up. Especially seeing as there aren't too many great other options. He'd be good for a bit of experience. We don't have any experienced defnders other than Thornton. Even Waite is pretty inexperienced in defnce. Haddril would allow the likes of Jamison to take the 2nd forward as an example, and would let ther be less pressure on him. As well as that, with the inclusion of some blokes with mroe xperince such as Judd, Hadley and possibly Haddril, we could hopefully start becoming a dominant force, and a winning culture is as important to a players development as anything. Can't just chuck in all these young blokes with potential and expect them to step up and know what they're doing

There is a nice list of available players starting to develop.

He's young yes but he'll be good. There's no point throwing in a lot of recycled players in the backline if what we have is what we want the future backline to be. With Thornton, Carlos, Aussie and Jammo etc they'll get there, just need a bit of time.
Don't forget, I'm sure a flag isn't quite on the radar for 2008 they need to learn to work together back there and hopefully our new and improved midfield/forward line can make up for the rest.

Hadrill looks too slow for mine.
Has lost all of the leg speed that once made him a very formiddable FB.

I agree C4... picking up Hadrill would be similar to when we picked up O'Reilly, and that didn't work out too well! :o

Ben Rutten will be playing for Carlton in 2008, he wants out of the Sinking Ship that is Adelaide, and wants to join the greatest club in AFL History

If he is so good why has he been delisted?
It's not like Fremantle have a plether of quality defenders.

They do have several tall options that have really come on in the two years since Haddril really played, though.
That said, I don't necessarily know if he's worth taking a punt on. If his leg speed is gone, his height and weight are already no good and he's got dodgy knees, where is the upside?
I just don't see it.
