Toby McGrath will be to old next year to be rookie listed...scott howard has had his two years and wont be re-rookied. Wilson because he is from interstate can have 2 more years. Had hamstring problems this year but is silk and needs to get much fitter and he will be a player no doubt.

Wilson looks a real decent get for me. Need to see more of course.

As to who should replace the likes of Howard and McGrath (I'm suggesting he'll follow Cory to Carlton), here's some names:

Nathan Lovett-Murray

Bendigo were impressed with him this year and looks a great prospect.

James Condos

Ready for a laugh - 2 years ago no-one had heard of this bloke. Originally from Parkside in the WRFL, he won the 2002 WRFL Rookie of the Year award. Werribee saw his efforts and put them on their list. He finished the year at Werribee 2nd on their goalkicking list. He's not yet 20.

Simon Rosa

Bendigo listed player. A rover and looked excellent whenever I've seen him.

I think he will be 'drafted' in the National Draft. Will be snapped up before the Rookie Draft i'd imagine.

IMO the only reason people are talking this guy up is because he is John Coleman's grandson - have any of you actually seen him play and truly rate him. Mate of mine has seen him play a few times and doesn't think much of him.

Sheeds is big on bloodlines..if we dont get him in the draft expect him to be rookie listed
