Will Slade was the only one mentioned in todays Hun but you would thing a few of the Falcons would be trying their luck.
I think i saw in the HUN that Geelong had indicated that they were not participating in the pre season draft.

We don't have a pick in the PSD,but the Rookie draft is done after the PSD draft.We've got a few picks in that draft.
Is Beetham still eligible for the rookie draft?JUBJUB said:
So there is no chance Will Slade will be playing for the cats next year?

He's eligible for the Rookie draft,so yes he could still play senior footy for Geelong next year.

Anyone seen Banjanin play, would he be worth a try?
Had a look at his bio, late starter , ,200cm at 18 , so probably got a bit more height in him , good tap ruckman. Cant see how having this kid on our list as Rookie for a couple years is a negative. Put him away , train him and we have dibs in two years time

Just as long as Slade's over his bout of OP. Showed a bit back in the olden days when he used to play AFL but it's no use carrying him hoping that it comes good early in the year.
Probably not a bad idea to get AFL ready players and give them 12 months on the rookie list to work their butts off. If someone does have a longterm injury, it does give you a bit more depth.
I think we've got 3 or 4 rookie picks this year so why not.
The cats must go after Beetham.
I went to school with him for about 6 years and was around when he went through his 'break down' at St kilda. At 20, he just couldn't handle Grant Thomas and wasn't mature enough to perservere with things.
But when his head was right he could play some awesome footy. And it sounds like he has finally found his passion for the game once again. And he has been carving up at old Xavs.
If we get him, no-one will ever mention Brent Moloney again down at cat land. Beetham could easily match him in all areas- speed, stength, smarts. A perfect, and I believe a potentially superior replacement.
Sometimes players just aren't ready for the big time. I can remember a young bloke leaving the hawks in '83 so he could unwind and play some country footy in Myrtleford. Then he came to the cats in '84 and became the greatest player we've ever seen. Giving caydn another shot would be worth a punt

ive only heard on here that we are interested and i wouldnt mind him myself but thought the same thing about age. we dont have a pick in the psd so if we were interested that would mean he is obviously eligible

As I said Balme said he was too old. Either he is unsure or he is playing funny biz
