List Mgmt. National & Rookie Draft 2021

[Lore]

Hey guys, thought you might like to have this resource on your board (scuse the intrusion!) – mods might like to sticky it so it's visible at the top of the thread

 

[Chef Ratts]

happy with the draft … but do feel a bit nervous about over looking local lads Sinn and Hobbs. Also NWM looks very outside type but happy to be proven wrong.
NGA and cat B boys are a bonus .
Oscar Adam’s looks a genuine Key back size that can take the monster forward hopefully in time.
We have covered most areas on the ground if you include Sharman and Heath from mid season draft.

Yeah let's hope the Wang over Sinn doesn't become the next you know who over you know who and you know who over you know who

 

[Chef Ratts]

Do you think anyone in the near future will debut as young as Robert HARVEY did in 1988...

16-year-old. Robert Harvey in 1988.

Serious consistency over the last 33 years with the haircut.

Elite.

That's Brett Ratten, try again

 

[George]

Straight outa high school and bathing in 80 grand. Not bad.

I might be wrong, it might be for national draftees. Either way I know they are paid well for their age.

Great few days for the club.
Kudos to Bassat and Finnis for the financials.
Kudos to Satan, Gags, Libba and his team for the great draft and rookie haul.
Special Kudos for doing all of this and keeping our Draft options clean for 2022.

I haven’t been this upbeat about us for a decade.
Feels sweet.
Hmmmmm

Good to hear buddy
It’s funny how our footy club means so much to us and the joy it brings when things are going good

John Peter-budge, only played 50 or so games before he got done by a pretty bad injury, by all reports could play the game.

Played 45 games by the time he was 19 but did his back. Richmond drafted him after he’d been out of the system for a few years but he didnt play for them.
He was a very good player, loads of talent and very classy. I enjoyed watching him. Shame he didn’t have a longer career. I hope he’s doing well.

[Ephemeral Hope]

Other thing about Doogs is he's the best option to swing forward. I'd argue a better option than Battle. So if we did lose a King or Membrey he could potentially switch.

If we play him forward he might request a trade that’s how port lost him

 

[jwikked]

So where does this leave us in regards to the mid season draft?

 

[Saint_Dos]

So where does this leave us in regards to the mid season draft?

Have 2 rookie spots vacant by my count.
Reckon we will sign someone in Pre-Season period then save a spot for Mid Season draft

 

[gringo2011]

Weve actually got good balance now its probably more that our most dynamic mid is perennially injured. In reality were not likely challenging for a flag in earnest this year or next but the only "hole" in 2-3 years will be ruck depth and we can always trade for that if its a problem. Just need the kids to come on as we would hope and expect.

This is where I have an issue. Holes aren't known until players develop. It looks good so far but we thought we were a few patched holes of challenging under Richo at times.

 

[Holy Hunter Clark]

Watched him play
He was very good, he really could play
Was a back injury?

Yeah back injury I believe, he has a photo of him taking a screamer, I’ll see if I can chase it up. Awesome photo

 

[George]

Do we have the most indigenous players in the league now?

JPB was a deadset gun. Played from 1986-1988. Three seasons, 45 games.
Recruited from Beverley Hills where he stood on everyones heads taking screamers every week as a junior. He was a freak junior.
He played Teal Cup also while attached to us.

Quite honestly if he was around in the system of today he would have been a top five draft pick. Absolutely gifted footballer but was played in the seniors when he was no where near ready. His listed playing weight was 70kgs or so at six feet tall. Good luck with that in the eightees.

If you go to the 1min, 50 second mark here of the Winmar reel...3 mins, 14 secs also.


That is pretty much it for JPB.

Doesn't mean it's not Skunk's dad. Might explain why he wasn't dropped last season.

Can see him & Chef Ratts throwing those old pie parties for the boys again.

Someone used to have the John Peter Budge Fan name on here or SS. I'm not that good with ex players pre 1990s but that's very cool to have that link.

Hobbs looks like he could be a gun IMO.

I just don't see it. Good yes, gun no way.

Used to love the pie nights at the footy club as a kid

I've a good feeling that Mitchi san and Windy will prove to be very valuable players. Neither have had much footy for 2 years though so will need some time to catch up. It's gonna be excellent VFL watching this season..
