Any father-son/father-daughter picks coming up in the near future?

[Chris_6678]

Any idea if Waterman will play seniors in the back half of this year? If he is recovering from injury it'd be nice to see him fully fit and getting a crack in there. I don't think there's anything more to be learned from him playing Colts.

The less he is on show the better . But seriously he he has shown enough to warrant a pickup from WCE and looks like we could get him with a 2nd round pick so it would best he gets his body 100% fit for next year so he gets a head start for pre-season.

I'm not to worried, given where we sit on the ladder and chance we may fall lower by season end, i think there's little chance we'll be using our first rounder on him regardless. Would still like to see a few games against the men though.

I kinda hope that we fall a few places lower TBH and almost guarantee the 1st / 2nd best midfielder this draft if the first two picks go tall.

WA beat Vic Country 66-60 in the state 16s. Suma another two goals, Waterman in the best.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Thanks for updates INSANE

Though i wonder where Jake is playing because he can play anywhere at the moment. Nice too hear they're both performing well.

Listed at 185cm at the moment.

Get the feeling Sumich is more like 188 or something like that.

 

[Chris_6678]

Are those 2 up for drafting next year or the after?

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Year afterwards.

 

[Prem87]

How does F/S bidding work for 2 players in the same draft? Can we take both or do we just get a crack at one?

Get as many as you like. Just means we use the next available pick. Bulldogs did it with Wallis and Libbs Jnr.

Is Matera playing in the U16s?

Yep, pretty sure he played against Waterman and Sumich the other day.

How'd he go?!

 

[INSANE]

How'd he go?!

He didn't. For starters he's too old, but he has an ankle injury as well.

Pfft, not even trying

Seems to be a little injury prone. Nothing alarming at his age. Missed the U16's last year because of it.

Wonder how much these things will effect his value next year?

8th round rookie pick at best

Yeah, I'm curious as to where he ranks in his group. He can play. You could mistake him for a Menzel, looks, style............injuries.

May be an injury prone kind of player. In the one game I thought he ripped his hammy, did his knee and got concussed.

Robben or Neymar style?

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Well at least Matera is said to have some speed, which will make him somewhat unique if he makes the grade for the eagles.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Interesting that Alec played Colts today while Ryan Lim and Jared Hardisty (who was apparently was close to BOG) were both elevated to play Reserves. ROYAL EAGLE Any reason why?

 

[Clint Beastwood]

For what it's worth, Mark Duffield on the ABC this morning thought Waterman would go in the third round as a F/S, saying he would be an absolute bargain for us.

Possible. Especially if we drop a place or two on the ladder.

I have heard he has groin problems and they are trying to manage him.

Could be OP, god I hope its not as we don't have a good record of player recovering quickly from it.

Was hoping we might snag Hardisty with a late round pick. Guess that's looking less likely.

Likewise, though i'm not sure Hardisty is shaping to go in the first two rounds just yet. Waterman and Hardisty have naturally good awareness of each other on the field, and Waterman isn't really a down a dirty grunt midfielder like Hardisty and you need those types.

Similarly Barrass and Powell seek each other out as they played defese in tandem at Claremont and showed tendency for sharing the ball down at East Perth as well.

Another poster on here suggested Waterman has been bought and paid for already and isn't likely to strain himself for the rest of the season, which could in part be injury related or could just be intelligent player/ list management for 2015.
