PSD/Rookie Draft

[HARKER]

Carlton passed with 37...............No Holman

 

[kingkingston]

Who is this pass fellow ?

 

[Dramoth]

Small, quick and agile is what springs to mind with Galluci

small forward with skills.

 

[Wickzki]

Who is this pass fellow ?

Twin brother of the guy we selected after SOSOS.

Lightning quick to the point that you can't even see him.

 

[Matty411]

Who is this pass fellow ?

We drafted his brother in the National Draft at 55. Bit of a plodder but they both come cheaply - don't even take up a list spot.

EDIT: Dammit Wickzki too quick!

 

[Blue and Silver]

It's Matt Korcheck's place isn't it?

 

[slashin_velvet]

small forward with skills.

He's an accountant.....delist

 

[Wickzki]

Joshua Deluca-Cardillo... Any relation?

 

[Matty411]

Can't help but think Galluci is Garlett 2.0 - reckon he'll push to play quickly if he can bulk up a bit over pre-season and adjust to the speed/level quickly.

All of a sudden, we've got some competition for a spot we had none this season.

Matty Wright, Sumner, Lamb, Smith and now Galluci.

 

[Teagueeee15]

I wonder why we wouldn't have taken Woodward?

He will miss the pre season and some games with his ACL, so I can see why.

 

[slashin_velvet]

I wonder why we wouldn't have taken Woodward?

Probably told us that Hawthorn were taking him, and he would like to repay the faith.

 

[LanceRomance]

Well thats the end of holman for now

 

[MC_Doggy_Frog18]

Jock Cornell was my phantom draft selection for Geelong's first pick and he ends up going to Geelong in the rookie draft.

 

[xtront16]

Precisely. If you want a player on your main list you can DFA sign them.
If you want them on the rookie list you select them in the rookie draft.

It's really that simple.

Consider Matthew Wright out PSD pick.

I believe the preseason draft exists for the player who does not renew their contract and the club refuses to trade them to their club of choice (which could of been a possibility for Treloar, Aish, Lennon etc to getting to Carlton cheaply)

 

[Stamos]

The Carlton twitter account said we have picks 1, 19 and 37 in the rookie draft? Now I'm confused!

3rd pick was for Korcheck, not sure why it says we passed?

 

[Azul]

Rucks sorted, talls at both ends sorted, small forward.

Rome wasn't built in a day but we still have the worst midfield in the AFL. Bring on the 2016 draft...

 

[Neese]

Holman

 

[Dramoth]

Bit of a shame about Holman... hope he goes back to the VFL or the country league and smashes it for 12 months and comes back and gets picked up by another club.

 

[blue_trinity]

Jeez I'm surprised no one picked up Jayden brind. And Matt perry too a lesser extent. Brisbane have done very well getting William in the 2nd rd.

 

[DaVillaBlues]

Feel bad for Holman, a terrific young lad, but I can't help but feel it was the correct decision to jettison him.

Cannot fault SOS's first trade and draft period at all, turning WentHomederson into Hazza Mac is a massive win for us.

 

[HBF]

Pretty much with Wright.
PSD has been a non event for years now.

 

[Arr0w]

There are a few diamonds there.

Given our list balance, would like a KPD with our first pick. There are a couple of interesting ones.

Surman
Glass-McCasker
Firns

Would prefer Surman

Would have preferred Surman, but happy we have taken McCasker. Not that pleased with Gallucci, the kid is 21 and still a rake, surely Parsons would have been a better selection

 

[Wickzki]

Color me a little shocked that Kerbatieh went undrafted.

 

[Deep Blue]

But Schache, considered a near certainty to follow in his late father Laurence Schache’s footsteps and join Brisbane, was held to just one goal.

He was worn like a glove by 198cm Glass-McCasker, who showed off his strong defensive skills, aerial ability and developing rebounding game.

“I didn’t play on him in the first game because I was injured,” Glass-McCasker said.

“I was spewing that I missed it, but he kicked eight against us in that game in Perth.

“I went up to the coach (Andrew Lockyer) and said I wanted to have a crack at him to see where I was at. I played on him down in Geelong and kept him to 1.1. My aim was to keep him to three goals, so I was stoked.

“It was probably one of the best games I’ve played.”

At 198cm with some serious leap and agility, there's a lot to like about the boy, just have to trust the recruiting panel on this one.

Remember noting this blokes achievements at the DC but not sure why there was no interest at the ND - he's a defender and not a ruckman?

I think his ordinary disposal skills has held him back ..if we can develop him to be half decent by foot then we will have a very valuable player ...somebody who can negate the big mobile forwards that are everywhere now, would be invaluable ...for now let the other blokes do the kicking for him.
