Brad Lynch
186cm, 74kg
"In terms of pure football talent Brad is as good as we've had come through our system. Vision, skill awareness and ability to go off both sides of his body is actually quite special. I've been here since 2008 and I haven't seen someone with that sort of movement off both sides the way he can do it. So he's highly talented, has a good frame at 186cm to be a rangy wingman. His major issue will be his ability to win his own ball and that's something that will be a focus for him moving forward. On the outside, with time and space, he's certainly a special player." - Swan Districts coach Greg Harding
Luke Goetz
202cm, 90kg
"Luke is a 202cm ruckman who has grown considerably in the last 18 months after not being involved in any of the Jets' junior programs prior to this year. Came into our squad about round 6 and played every game from there. Very, very good athlete for someone of that size and has good speed and endurance. Still raw in terms of football development but a club might want to take a chance on him given his exceptional athleticism. I think he ran something like 18 minutes for 5km recently so he can seriously run." - Western Jets coach Torin Baker
Goetz for CordySo our haul this off-season:
All this at the expense of Ayce Cordy, Jarrad Grant, Michael Talia, Sam Darley, Matt Fuller, Brett Goodes, Jordan Kelly and Daniel Pearce.
- Mature medium utility with a booming kick and premiership experience (Suckling)
- 2x big-bodied utilities who thrive inside the contest and overhead (Dunkley/Williams)
- 2x key defenders (Collins/Adams)
- 1x super quick rebounding half back (Lynch)
- 1x raw, developing ruckman (Goetz)
- 1x mature, experienced small utility renowned for his leadership (Adcock)
Hell yes.
Stevey J said:found a small article on Goetz...
EARLY in the season Western Jets regional manager Shane Sexton and coach Torin Baker were told about an emerging ruckman dominating for Altona’s under-18 side in the Western Region Football League.
The pair went out on a couple of occasions to watch Luke Goetz in action and liked what they saw, immediately inviting the 17-year-old down to join their list.
Goetz, who wasn’t considered by the Jets pre-season, quickly established himself in the Jets line-up and played the last nine games in the TAC Cup.
Remarkably, while he only played half a season for Altona, he still finished joint winner of the Vikings’ under-18 best and fairest award.
While he stands at 202cm, Baker said there’s a lot of development left in Goetz and he’s attracting a little bit of interest from AFL clubs ahead of the upcoming national, pre-season and rookie drafts.
“He has very good speed and endurance,” Baker said of Goetz.
“Luke has grown a lot over the last 18 months. While he still has much work to do on his football, there is considerable upside to him. He’ll play for us again as a 19-year-old next year if he doesn’t get selected.”
DraftMe said:Attacks the ball in the air, moves very well, lacks strength (only been in TAC Cup system for half a season). Very raw but impossible to put a ceiling on him because of a lack of quality delivery to him in the fwd line from a bottom-age-heavy Jets list. Played more key forward than ruck.
No Joke?Saints.
No Jok?
Lol good old WRFL, good to see a local kid come into the fold, hopefully he doesn't do a Ward on us in a few years though
Looks like you'd expect an 18-year old ruckman, skinny and tall.
Stats are a bit underwhelming, but that's why we have development coaches, right?

His name is Stuart Donnelly. Mature ager from Tasmania. Wasn't drafted so obviously the info was a little bit off the mark.Not sure if you've mentioned it already Dan but can you tell us who was the State Leaguer we were keen on?

I've been told that he's getting some interest from VFL clubs though so we may yet see him as a Footscray player.
