I guess Hawthorn didn't F/S him due to them having an abundance of tall forwards. Hope it comes back to bite them in the arse like their decision to trade out Kennedy

Pittonet
Hawthorn, pfffft. What have they done well lately. Seriously though, the 197cm type player seem to have a low success rate. Not a knock on the lad as I wouldn't have a clue. Good luck to him though, hope he makes it and has a long and premiership filled career with us.
Yeh they've got a picture of Wigg as the thumbnail on his video I thinkif he is from sandringham dragons why does the crows photo of him show him in a SA state gurnsey, or is the photo wrong?
OR was their intention to father/son Dear in the Rookie draft?I guess Hawthorn didn't F/S him due to them having an abundance of tall forwards. Hope it comes back to bite them in the arse like their decision to trade out Kennedy
OR was their intention to father/son Dear in the Rookie draft?
Essendon have with Jake Long ? .......do you have to nominate rookie father/sons before or after the National draft?
Jeez, I am the wrong person to ask that to but I don't think you can F/S them in the rookie draft. To the point of them rookie listing him....well it makes sense, gives you three years to get them up to speed if you wish
FATHER-SON – ROOKIE PRE-SELECTION
The Father-Son Rule previously applied to players selected at the National Draft. Under the rule, other AFL clubs can bid for eligible players who have been nominated under the Father-Son Rule by an eligible club. The nominating club can select the eligible player by forfeiting its next available pick in the draft if a bid has been made by another club. If there is no bid from another club, the nominating club forfeits its last pick in the National Draft.
A club can pre-select an eligible player as a Category A rookie between the Pre-Season and Rookie Drafts (with the player’s consent) provided the player had nominated for but was not selected by another club at either the National or Pre-Season Drafts. In that case, the relevant club would forfeit its last available selection in the Rookie Draft to take the player.
He's not a ruckmanI don't mean to be harsh about the guy, but I'm not seeing him becoming an actual viable ruck option on a Crows team. I will be first to apologize if he proves me wrong.
He's not a ruckman
Neither did they pick him to challenge sauce.Sorry, forward/ruckman, they didn't pick him to challenge Taylor Walker.
Ease up. His attributes are otherwise to be ascertained regarding lets put the big f##ker there.Neither did they pick him to challenge sauce.
I think the success rate of those 196-199cm KPPs is improving with reserves sides, plus I think they're actually getting played in key positions in jnr grades a lot more often(less so in SA by the sounds).
In the past though we'd draft a 196-199cm kid as a forward/defender, only for him to be sent to a SANFL club for development, where they'd play him predominantly in the ruck.
Now we can draft someone like Dear and play him purely as a forward right from the get go.
Hang on ... someone posts he's not going to make it as a ruckman when he's not a ruckman at all.Ease up. His attributes are otherwise to be ascertained regarding lets put the big f##ker there.

I've over reacted Peter and I apologise.Hang on ... someone posts he's not going to make it as a ruckman when he's not a ruckman at all.
Maybe some ruck relief here and there, but he doesn't have to make it as a ruck man
I think we have a few years ahead of us before we see Dear kicking 40 goals in an AFL seasonPhil wants players with hardness and he sees that in Dear. Doubt he sees it in Jenkins.
