Last two picks tell me that Freo are going to have a red-hot crack next season. Adding some mature players that help us stay the course for 22 rounds.

Yes it looks that way to me too. And to be honest, if Hogan and Bennell get up and about, we'd be a shot at Finals in terms of best 22 talent.

Bold move by West Coast drafting a former politician accused of sexual harassment.

Stack, McKenzie and Woodcock the sliders now.

Stack, McKenzie and Woodcock the sliders now.

Someone's gotta take a punt on Stack. He could be Clem Smith 2.0 but definitely worth the gamble.

 

[Redgum]

Liam and Will Hickmott , nobody seems to have picked them yet, sons of Adrian Hickmott

 

[Mr Fonebone]

Dear God

Please dont let the Eagles steal O'Rielly and turn him into another Jeremy McGovern

Yours Trully

You cant really rubbish later round mature age picks these days, the ability with technology and scouting is easier with technology.
Alot of these guys are fairest and best for their clubs or runner up and even in their All-WAFL/VFL/SANFL team of the year etc.

And lets be honest, when people say mature age it makes them sound older than they are, Shultz is 20 and Bewley is 23. if they improve they have minimum 7 years in the AFL system.

Let them play before you judge a mature age pick.

Tom Stewart was picked at 40 and 24 years old
Ben Brown at 47 at 21 years old
Paul Puopolo was pick 66 and 23 years old plus many more

Theres also a whole bunch of rookie picks who are in their 20s who are very good players.

The need one for the Brooksby

 

[yakka man]

Yep, overall I'm very pleased with the lads we have brought in. We have finally focussed on players who kick the footy well and they all have some standout qualities. No WA players though . However, if the WA talent pool is weak there's no point in banking on it. Hope we don't regret passing on Hill.

 

[freo_leo29]

Woodcock to port

 

[Bastyy]

I think it's pretty safe to say Carter will be Cat B now

Our rookie pick? Gonna go out on a whim and say Cody Leggett

 

[freo_leo29]

Looks as though we get Carter as a Cat B

 

[Gekko71]

So how many spots do we have for rookies?

 

[salim malik]

Can cat B rookies play senior footy?

 

[Taylor]

Can cat B rookies play senior footy?

Not without being upgraded via injury

 

[Stilgar]

I know it's highlights, but as an elite runner Bewley looks like an ideal winger to link the play. His long kicking is laser like and having a bloke who can consistently dob goals from outside 50 will be valuable.

Not getting too excited but looks like a pretty sound pick to me.

Hughes, Nyhuis + one more Cat A rookie.

 

[Joao]

I'm pumped about Valente. Was happy with him at 17. Clearly we didn't rate the blokes from 30-50 and new those mature boys would be there.

 

[Redgum]

Bell about to speak on SEN

 

[serial_thrilla]

National Draft is complete. Sydney Stack and Tom McKenzie the biggest names to miss out.

 

[Rubber Pants]

When does the rookie draft start?

 

[theGav56]

We went for upside with Sturt, and it is really exciting upside in my opinion.

The next three picks are much more in the what you see is what you get category, but all look decent prospects and bring depth in areas we need it.

Carter will join as Cat B, and again he brings excitement and upside.

Cat A....I'm not game to predict.

 

[Unique Name]

So can we start up a thread for Carter? We've 100% got him now.
