Yeah, he says hi and also wanted to mention the suns are paying him 30 billion a year Plus his dad and brother were also living on the Gold Coast prior.
If they have been given a commitment of being re-drafted onto their club's rookie list, I think clubs do the right thing and not snaffle them.
We find ourselves in the same position with Tanner Smith, so others won't select him.
I'm fairly sure Grimley has been given a commitment.

Ok, I wasn't aware of that.
I forgot you can't sign free agents to the rookie list anyway (I think?) so we would still have to wait for the draft if we wanted them anyway.

Actually the hawks stated publically that they would rookie him IF no other club drafted or f/a him. They put on the rider to give other clubs and Grimley the opportunity. In none of the other eight re-rookie nominees did the club say it that way.
Cameron Loersch would be handy.
How about Elliot Le Grice. Overlooked last year but won The best young player award at Sandringham this year as a key defender. Is training with St Kilda so is interest elsewhere but looks like the ideal pick for us. Season of vfl under his belt and probably could fill a role if required next year.
Here's his profile from last years draft.

Here we go again talking about all the available talls before a draft. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is a good definition of insanity.
Anyway - anyone had a look at 194cm KPD from Subi called Adam Creeper? Kicks ok and seems to move well. Maybe a couple of years of development could turn him into reasonable lock down player.

We should use reverse psychology and talk about recruiting the smallest available player, then we might get a tall.
but we did do that & the bulldogs drafted him
Uebergang has the coolest name so on that basis I hope we draft him
Josh Glenn would be great on the back flank. He would allow Sutcliffe to play in the midfield.
I think both are potentially flexible options - In my opinion Cripps looks more raw-talented though obviously Keitel has the better form.
Not short enough.

'Fremantle are considering 19 year old Hughes in the rookie draft' from today's West. Ethan Hughes from Swan Districts is a 189cm 81kg midfielder.
Oh for *'s sake.
On the other hand, this is the media overcompensating for having egg on their face after spending the entire lead up to the draft saying we were going to go KPP for our first pick.
Dylan Winton from Peel would be handy.

What about Jesse Watchman?

Tyler Keitel (194cm, 86kg, forward/defender): Spent the season pushing back and forward, and showing he could play a role at either end. His athleticism is what might hold him back, but given his versatility a club might see something to work with.
