2009 Rookie Draft Thread

[collingwood1992]

Hunter profile: Tough defensive forward that puts his body on the line in order to put his teammates in space. Very quick.

[jerry springer]

st kilda are going to hit a massive brick wall in a couple of years.

not only do they give away AA players they redraft players that cant even get on the park

 

[Darroj_6]

Played for West Adelaide in Under 18s, kicked 7 goals in 13 matches and was named in best 4 times but thats all ive found

Eagles to Jarrad Oakleigh Nichols

Tom Eagles?

 

[DThomas]

C'mon Derek, draft Justin Van Unen!

Damn.

 

[Spagger83]

so we got Hunter, Carter and McNamara.
didnt hear much about these guys in the lead up.
i thought we'd go hartigan, tighe, temel or panos with the pick we used for Carter.

oh well Hine knows what he's doing....i hope!

hartigan, tighe and temel not getting picked up at all are massive shocks

 

[TradeDraft]

Brisbane got Claye Beams

DAM - Hope he does not try and get Dayne back to the Lions

 

[Frankie23]

Brisbane got Claye Beams

 

[Unknown Identity]

Clay Beams to Brisbane..

Serhat Temel is a huge shock not to be drafted..

Averaged 15 touches, 3 goals over 20 games.

Kicked 5 goals in the grand final win.

22 goals in 4 finals games.

Myles Sewell also..? ah well..

 

[Dazman8]

Barlow, Beams, Sewell, Dare or Grimes.

Any of these would be great. All have would have a future purpose and could provide depth.

Who says? Because Hine didn't.

 

[Darroj_6]

Temel, Alex Carey not picked as well as Thorp and Tenace

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Hine has gone very Anglo-Saxon in 2009 - just look at the traditional English/Scottish surnames........

Carter, Hunter, Ball, Jolly, Thomas, Buckley, Sinclair, Macnamara........

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

As opposed to last year, when he drafted Sidebottom, Beams, Blight, Rounds, Brown, Francis, Blair and Reed, all of whom have diverse, ethnic-sounding names?

That's just how it is with a majority of the kids in football...

 

[JOELY]

Eagles to Jarrad Oakleigh Nichols

Must have improved if he's getting the whole club to come to him!

 

[Zahki]

Brisbane got Claye Beams

Damn, I really wanted Collingwood to grab him and give him a chance, I can't see how Claye would've been any more of a gamble than Hunter or Carter, oh well, here's hoping that this isn't just Voss hoping to make a play for Dayne in a couple of years.

slow
rubbish on ground level
unfit

not a major surprise on temel

 

[smiddaz123]

How many people annoyed we didn't get Beams have actually seen him play? If his name was John Smith would you care that we overlooked him?

Collingwood looked at him closely, and obviously didn't rate him. Don't see the big issue here.

Not Really Fussed at all - He probably had Potential but was too Raw

Definitely a trend here, where are all the ethnic kids?

Was taken as a priority selection, so Collingwood wouldn't have got a crack at him regardless.

As for Dayne... I dare say that Claye was drafted on his own merit. Stopped playing football for a year to have a crack at cricket, then stepped back in and hit the ground running. Excellent development prospect. I don't think he has been drafted as part of a nefarious plot to lure Dayne back home.

Considering Dayne turned down the chance to go even closer to home with GC17, I don't think you should be overly concerned. Seems committed to the Pies.
