List Mgmt. 2011 Rookie Draft - LIVE in-draft discussion

I think you're right here meto. Guthrie will certainly play games this year. He was emergency for the GF and is obviously earmarked for greater things.

2012 is a big year for young Motlop, and Cowan looks a goer. I also have very high hopes for Smedts.....a Rising star nomination for sure!!

I havent seen Bathie or Walker but given selections you would think they, along with Gillies are seen as options for senior games this year. Bathie's history suggests he is an elite athlete and he certainly looks like a big strong boy.

With Kersten and Murdoch ( put a ** next to him too ) it looks like an exciting season at Geelong.

Gee! Thanks for the vote DTC, you seem pretty fired up lately, and we're still in 2011, but yes, there's a number of them that'll want to breakout next year. (Guthrie,Cowan etc)

They will try alot through the midfield this coming year IMO, I think that explains the two rookies being small mids and one of the two rookie talls elevated as insurance.

They said Walker was leading the charge at training camp, so I'd say he sees his chances to make the jump on the back of a good NAB Cup showing, as would Bathie.

Wouldn't surprise me if there's a senior rotation squad next year through all lines selected on current form at any given time of course.
Hence the recruitment of Knights and Rooke to facilitate a group capable and usable at senior level.

By the way, that rookie kid from WA, from his video certainly looks like he can play,
Joel Selwood at that age. Wishful!!
