Daniel Menzel back in the ones will be a very, very happy day for a lot of supporters me thinks.

This is my first time back on BigFooty in some time. What a thread to come back to!

Re: Who from Qld, NSW, Tas, N.T., for 2012 Draft? Tasmania - the only standout is Jesse Lonergan. Others to watch out for are Jackson Thurlow, Sam Siggins, Josh Grant, Beau Webster and Toby Nankervis :)

Do you possibly know who?

AFL Tas are more concerned about a two minute sports report on SCTV than actually using the money for actual promotion of the game. Until such time as AFL Tas pulls its head out, we will rely on volunteers like duff doing the best they possibly can. Well done duff, your work is much...

19/08/1995 - so he'd be not eligible until next year

Rose CP3 Rondo Westbrook Williams Curry. Surely I needn't go on? If he wants to play international basketball, he has to get past those 6 AT LEAST! He can be the star of an Australian international team. Makes sense really.

A bit longer than that. 2012's draft looks like every first round draft pick will be a gun. Depth in next year's draft is amazing.

Tas are a great side, don't get me wrong. I'm Tasmanian and have access to Tas footage of sorts, but believe me - don't let that TAC Cup win fool you. As good as it was, they were playing against an unbeaten Sandringham side who had a number of first choice players out due to school football...

Ex soccer player. Has only played the game for 12 months - this of course means massive upside. He kicked 7 against Vic Country hahaha. Absolutely dominated that game. Intelligent forward despite his inexperience. I'd go so far as to say that he, Webster & McKenzie will get drafted. And I...

That's a massive call. Considering Swallow was one of the best juniors to come through the system and Day has an enormous amount of upside, I wouldn't be writing them off just yet! The fact they are playing for GC doesn't help. If they had walked into an established team, they would be...

Dobosz is a very interesting one. He was a soccer player previously, has been playing footy for only 1 year. Project player definitely!

Great effort as always Knight! Interested to know what you make of the Tassie boys you haven't listed? I'd've thought there'd be more than just Webster. Julian Dobosz & John McKenzie I'd've thought would definitely have come into consideration late?

Well Connors could still manage him playing another sport though, and there are plenty of multi-faceted management companies out there who do have different athletes to their bows. Could've been, but could very well harm his chances of signing him. Coniglio family very unhappy! Wouldn't be...

Pretty much exactly why people shouldn't be so quick to jump the gun - a bit of scepticism when it comes to this sort of article is exactly what everyone should exercise!

Yeah I guess, but he could do it in WA if he's good enough.

It's all stemming from Paul Connors. He claimed that he had signed Coniglio as one of his players and he told certain areas in the media that Coniglio was going to boycott the draft or take up the rookie contract with WACA. Coniglio Sr was evidently furious about both these.

Guys, have you noticed in that article NOT ONE quote was directly attributed to his family, himself, or anyone for that matter? Fact is, until he makes his mind up about choosing cricket or football, there's no point throwing bullshit articles like this into the media. John Ralph is typical...

Doesnt the lack of quotes make you question the validity? speculation imo. And I doubt his tight knit family would let that slip.

Reckon you'd find most recruiters worth their weight will have spoken to him at some stage, do their due diligence. Would definitely come into consideration, but maybe the lure of the baggy green might also be a big factor?

I'd be surprised if he wasn't number one, if he picks footy (in all honesty). Remember when Trengove & Scully were 1 & 2, there were talks about who would be the number 1 pick (after all, it is just a number). Scully was number one as there was a thought that he was such a professional and...

Todd Elton (Dandenong) is the obvious choice! Exactly hahaha. Hence why I think he'll have a big say come draft day :D Hope he chooses AFL!

Absolutely no way he'd fall to number 4 if the Lions do bottom out mate. Doubt you'd call him a lock like Swallow was last season, I think Coniglio will have something to say about that!

I just got off the phone from Stephen Coniglio after he happily had an interview with FootyDraft.com. What struck me as awesome about him was that he is pretty much one of the most down to earth guys you could ever meet. I like to think that bullshit and Awesome-itis can be easily detected...

Oh definitely mate, most definitely. Aaron Sandilands never used to hit players down the throat 100% of the time! Just something I noted.

It's interesting, because there are plenty of players throughout the years who were absolute monsters in junior footy, only to do nothing in the big leagues. Look at Billy Morrison when he was drafted. Absolutely dominated down here in Tasmania, then did nothing in the AFL. His big body masked...

Both look very solid, though I sear all but 1 possibly 2 of Witts' hitouts were sharked by opposition on ballers. But that aside, he looked composed around the ground!

Julian Dobosz kicked 7 in that game. 7.0. Wish I had have been there to see it!

More and more likely Coniglio will pick AFL over Cricket I think. WACA are only offering Coniglio the rookie contract to keep him from the AFL because they are worried about losing another player that may have been something to another code. Interesting with Coniglio, the fact that he...

It has to be said, Tassie were playing Sandringham less a number of players who had commitments to school football. That said though, as a Tasmanian, I'm pretty excited about this lot. Jimmy Webster, Henry Schade, Julian Dobosz & John McKenzie are all very solid players.
