Maxy lobbied hard for Jye to get drafted to the Pies in the first place.
Attitude and speed have always been a knock. Only played the two games this year would probably need a few more games to see what his form is like. Kicked 4, two weeks ago. I like him the most and agree we should take the punt. But I don’t think we will unfortunately.Given our success with Mihocek I woudn't mind us taking a punt on Keitel also given the low cost / potential reward involved.
I'm the first to admit I wouldn't know him if I walked past him but named in the WAFL team of the year 3 years running playing key position makes me think he must have some talent to work with and has continued to work hard after the disappointment of not being drafted.
Seems like the perfect candidate to throw a rookie lifeline to so not sure what the knock is?
Endurance? Foot speed?
Failing that a mid/flanker who can run and carry the ball with speed is what I'd be after.

I generally agree, extractor mid could be looked at too I would have thought.
Especially if Sier is no closer to the side in 3 weeks time
Again, I agree. I just think Woodward more likely to be in a position to impact this year (role played, proximity to senior list already) compared to a state league player from another side.I think once Sier is fit, he will be best 22. I would expect him to be back in the side in the second half of the year, alot like last season.
I reckon blokes having an impact in Year 1 will be very rare. Standard rookies train for 3 months with the club to learn the system and even then they're usually second half of the year propositions. There may be the odd exception when a club has no fit ruckman for instance or the odd Stack like player.It would be good to see a mid season draftee make a real difference to a side but I sense noone is taking it very seriously. They seem to think it will be more like a rookie selection than someone who comes into seniors with immediate impact like people think. Also I think there will be only about 5 selections.

I'd be having a crack at the draft, I just think the immediate impact thing is a furphy. Gives you a free hit to look at a guy who you quite liked but weren't willing to pull the trigger on. We picked up Elliott, Langdon, Phillips as overage TAC cup players, pretty sure they would have been eligible. Obviously a guy like Mihocek too. You get a close look for half a year and make the call then for no cost.People seem to think clubs are going to pluck ready made players to fill their weaknesses immediately out of the mid season draft but it will be lucky if 1 comes in with immediate impact... they got overlooked for a reason too, it's doubtful someone who has already been in the system is going to go to a state league then come back a big time AFL player. I don't have high hopes for anyone we get if we even get anyone.
This is so correct on many levels.People seem to think clubs are going to pluck ready made players to fill their weaknesses immediately out of the mid season draft but it will be lucky if 1 comes in with immediate impact... they got overlooked for a reason too, it's doubtful someone who has already been in the system is going to go to a state league then come back a big time AFL player.

It's a rookie draft. While the industry continues to focus on 18year olds, I think there will always be the odd gem picked up in any draft, so many kids are too immature at 18 or unconfident, haven't really decided to focus on footy, late growth spurts, injuries at the wrong time, etc. Just don't expect too many blokes to step straight in. Most of them will need until the end of the season to get upto speed with game plan before they can even think of being selected.This is so correct on many levels.
At best a club may fluke a “Mihocek” result. At best.
But I think we flunked it ourselves with him. I admit, I’d have been stoked if he was a fill in for 5 games type.
Got that one wrong.
But overall, generally the pool is of players who at best might be marginal.
Then again, a gem might be found. But that would be more pot luck than good management.
If we go with an extra draft it might even be someone like McLarty (knows our systems and players, good guy etc).
Or even CFCs special one. Something like that.
Be very very very very lucky if we find a panacea to a hole in our side.

Our recruiting officer doesn't think there is anyone out there that can make us better, and if there is he'd still say the same thing, so it's anybody's guess.who is the club looking at
Full nomination list released. From our VFL team Gallucci, Hustwaite, Oxley (CFC2010), Wellings and Woodward have nominated.
Bailey Wraith who was/is a member of our next generation zone and ex-dee Jake Spencer who played one VFL practice game for us in the preseason have also nominated.

I'm a bit surprised Jarryd Blair didn't nominate.
I did see the 23 playing so perhaps he was getting a game?We lack key position depth most of all.
I wouldn’t be averse to bringing McLarty back. He was unlucky to just miss out at the swans early in the year.
We technically don't have a spot yet though - a Murray verdict has not been reached and we haven't officially placed Dunn on the LTI list.For a club in flag contention and a spot available it would be madness not to try and snag the next Tim Kelly from the state leagues. Given our history losing gf’s not sure we can be too cute with this sort of opportunity
