Rottnest continue to draft WA talent

The Rottnest Razorbacks have continued to draft promising WA youngsters in the draft by snaring rebounding defender Brad Sheppard with Pick 6 and impressive midfielder Kane Lucas with pick 9....The Razorbacks have one pick remaining in the draft...A club spokesman had this to say on draft proceeding's so far.

"With Brad Sheppard it was certainly a needs pick as we were after a rebounding defender who can eventually play through the middle later on in his career....Brad's quality of disposal is one of the main reason's we picked him at Pick 6 over some other players who you may believe are rated a better player then Brad but we have full faith in Brad and look forward to seeing him down at training tomorrow morning."

"In Kane Lucas we have a quality young midfielder to add to our already impressive list of young midfielders......We were undecided on this pick as we had some players on our draft list who we wanted but thought they would be drafted sooner but they werent so we had to make a decision and we went with Kane who will fit into our midfield perfectly. Brad Sewell has already asked to take Kane under his wings and develop him as soon as possible....He will be a quality player for us"

Asked on who they will take with their last pick the clubs spokesman said this...

"Well so far we have added a rebounding mid sized defender and a midfielder so you would imagine we would be looking at some kind of KP prospect. With ex captain PAvlich being traded a KP forward may be chased but we cant say to much until we see whose available at the time of our next pick"

Rottnest wfinalise list by wlecoming Mumford

Rottnest Razorbacks have tonight finalised their list for the 2010 season by drafting ruckman Shane Mumford to the club. Coach peterss had this to say...

"We are happy with the drafting of Mumford to the club....We were tempted to go after a key position forward after the trading of pavlich but after going through the list of available players and seeing Shane available we decided to pick him"

"We have to young ruckmen in Naitanui and Griffin but still see them as developing ruckman and then theres also Tippett who can also play in the ruck but we want him as a forward mainly so bringing in Shane gives us three potential options in the ruck and its what we needed seeing as all three are young and still developing"

Rottnest delist Davis making room for PSD pick

Rottnest Razorbacks have today confirmed that young defender Ryan Davis has been delisted by the club after a mutual agreement between both parties.

Rottnest will continue pay out 75% of his contract in this season's TPP.

As a result of this delistment it allows Rottnest to take 1 pick in the pre-season draft along with some rookies in the rookie draft.

Club spokeman Mustapha Rumancola had this to say.

"We wish Davis well in his future, whatever that may be...He came to us a few days ago to say that he was looking at leaving the club to take up a career elsewhere so we worked out an agreement that satisfied both parties."

"It now gives us one pick in the pre-season draft and as for who we take with this pick depends on where in the draft our pick is and who is available at the time....It also allows us to add some rookies to our list also in the hope of developing them into senior players in the future"
