With some of the highly rated players on BF not getting taken in the ND I would be shocked if the were not taken in the RD. If I am correct we will have 2 spots on the rookie list because the club has guaranteed Newell a spot. So my question is who do you want to take?

I am going for Brewer and Morris.


Mods if you don't think its worth having as a thread please delete it.
 
Dobosz and a KPD, but there appears to be plenty available.

Let's just say I'm going to be slightly pissed if we pass on rookie spots again.


i agree with that.

let's use some of the money allocated for arizona to develop rookies for the future, not just try to 'keep up with jones', there are plenty (& cheaper) worthwhile alterantives to arizona imo.

Not really bothered with who gets the Rookie spots, wouldn't mind seeing us attempt to grab some indigenous talent from NT or WA. I like Will Farrer from the Thunder. He can jump, bit of a highlights reel, timing is a little off but that could be fixed. Not against Manson either if we think he's worth the risk. Frost too.
 
I'm not so keen on Manson since hearing he freaked out at the Combine... if he can't handle the combine, how could he handle a list. Also, he's apparently quite detached when around non-indigenous fold.

Loads of options here - Frost and Boseley would be my KPD options. Dobosz as a KPF. Fletcher Roberts could be a smokey KPF/Ruck. And of course Ben Brown, Mitch Brewer, etc... all good options. Will be interested to see which 2 we pick up...
 
Imagine Josh Waldhunter and Jack Redden in the same midfield? :eek:

I also think Julian Dobosz would be a good fit for the Lions forward line to work alongside Karnezis and Cornelius in the future. Mad to think that some of the talent predicted for the top twenty five will still be available in the rookie-draft.
 
sorry if its been asked before but how many rookies can we take.

7 is the number you can have correct? However we have black or brown as a vet on the list? Therefore we have 3 currently, Newell makes 4. so only two spots left?

Nine is the standard number, but we get an extra three for Queensland rookies so that's twelve. We lose two slots because Black and Brown are veterans outside the list so we're down to seven, plus three retained for Queensland talent. We've retained Dyson, Harvey and McKeever, and Newell is being signed up as a rookie. That means (I think) we've got three slots left, plus the three Queensland slots.

Edit: the six slots was off Wikipedia but looking at team lists from this year it might have been increased to nine last year. So add up to three non-Queensland slots depending on what the real number is.

Edit2: Aha!

Rookie List

In response to the introduction of Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney, which will make its AFL debut in 2012, each club is allowed to place a maximum of nine players on its rookie list.

Updated the post to reflect that.

We only have pick #13 in the first round right? We should take whomever we can get. With any luck Frost, Dobosz, Bussey, Manson, Nelson, Mihocek may still be available.
 
Nope we will have selection 4 being our first one.

GWS, GC, Port, Lions.

GWS don't have the rookie draft concessions they had last year this year.

Agree on Ablett. There are plenty of other reasonable KP prospects as mentioned here.

Whatever we do we 100% need use 1 of our rookie spots for a ruckman. And another should be a KP. Happy to go for 2 more KP rookies if we use 3 picks.

Already have Dyson, Harvey and Newell as smalls.
 
the AFL has incressed the rookie draft by 2 picks for every club i thought i read that somewhere dose that mean we have 4 spots left to fill I could be wrong but if i am right pick both of Ben Brown and Zyrus Manson and both of Sam Frost and Matt Brewer

Increased by three slots, so we have three non-Queensland and three Queensland as per my post up above.

What about Nathan Ablett in the rookie draft? Thoughts?

No thanks. Underwhelming this year.
 
Think i like the sounds of Frost. Seems to be very athletic, Volleyball background is usually go, as it gives them timing in reaching the ball at the highest point and jumping to meet it. Doesn't appear to be set into a back or forward position yet, so has some flexibiltiy which woudl be good for us, seems we could use either or.
