Bartlett has had 2 knee reconstructions since being drafted.

Menzelesque!

 

[thylacine60]

Id rather pick up Calum Bartlett who was just delisted by Brisbane to be picked up as a rookie. Anyone whos seen Calum play knows he is a absolute freak, has just had a bad run with injuries. I say we spoil the party and pick him up before the lions can rookie him. Bloke has serious pace off the mark.. Judd like

Watch the afterburners light up at 1.05. FMD, hates to back himself...

Did you say 'esque"

Happy enough to give Joel Tippett a go. Sounds like he had a very good year in the SANFL and will provide KPD insurance if injuries strike *shakes fist at injuries*

Thats all I want him for... cover for injuries if we have a similar situation to last season where we had people falling over left right and centre...

Who would you like us to take Zee?

 

[zeeCFC]

I've gone off Haynes after it being evident that our recruiters think the physicality side is a big enough issue to not take him.

Don't rate much of the midfield talent and would probably take Saad if I had to take a medium/small player as a project, has a bit of Dan Nicholson of Melbourne about him.

A KPP for me. The rookie list is full of non KPPs and we can afford to have on sit there and develop for a few years. Rodda, Lienert, Tippett, Frost etc.

It would be great if we could unearth a KPD rookie gem a'la Jamison - either as a backup for Jammo or to release Henderson forward.

This.

Blistering speed.

Watching his highlights - theres a resemblance to Yarran when running out of HB.

I don't know the personal reasons as to why Shannon Taylor was overlooked in the draft - but he looks like a real smooth mover, that with time and space can hit targets.

I would take a punt on him if his head is in the right space.

Anthony Tipungwuti

Similar player to Eddie Betts or Woneamirri. Might be better suited to a side who lacks a quality crumber.

You've gotta love him. Hopefully he gets a go somewhere, great to watch.

The kid's certainly got a bag of tricks. Like.

I wouldn't mind one more KPD on the list after McCarthy has started showing more up forward than back. I don't mind Rodda, would love us to give him a go. Don't really think much of Lienert, not sure how he got such a following on BigFooty.

 

[Azul]

Thanks for the videos. Based on that vision:

Get Rodda!

Wilkins has a nice run and carry about him but I'd probably take Banfield, who has an unassuming, reliable, Heath Scotland manner.

What's the word on Frost? his highlight video I posted above is sensational!

poor kid on draft night posts on his twitter that "dreams don't come true "

Ouch...

would be a damned shame if he didnt get a shot...

Agreed, seems to have a fair few tricks. Seems to be a role we have enough of, however.

Probably needs to have a good year next year and put a full season together before he gets picked.

Rodda is absolutely hilarious
Hates the spotlight and hates the media
Media tried to interview them after one of the carnival games, gave them one word answers till they left him alone

Imagine Rodda and Malthouse in a press conference, the media would be terrified

 

[Azul]

Well I was just commenting on his playing ability.

Brucey Doull was fairly reclusive. Tony Lockett threw crutches at Eddie McGuire!
