2012 Draft wish list

[more_of_bito]

There's more chance of us taking Dayle Garlett in the rookie draft, than there is of us using our first round pick on him. That kid is going to slide.

Agree, but Might be a WCE first pick at 46 imo.

 

[Lach72]

I'd take Garlett with 40...back ourselves to ease the talent out of him. Bit risky before.

Clurey is a likely looking type.

 

[Undertaker]

I think Freo will take Clurey at 17 and he will be the surprise packet from this years draft and will most likely end up the best 190 + player in the draft.

I agree out of all the KPP in this years draft he is the safest and most likely to succeed at AFL level.

Huh? Garlett won't run past the 1st rd, Chris was being sarcastic. Not really interested in Clurey as our 1st rounder.

No? All the talk is of him not being drafted at all. Someone will take a chance in the second round in my opinion, but nobody will go in the first.

He has nothing on Josh Simpson anyway.

Huh? Wouldn't be so confident...

Josh Simpson apparently has a one year old daughter living near Geraldton. This article says that AFL club recruiters are only just learning of this and are queuing up to re-interview him. Bit of a spanner in the works.

lol, how long has this been brought to light? Everyone's mock drafts have Garlett going to Collingwood in the 1st rd in one of their 1st 3 picks.

Someone posted earlier that Emma Quayle said on her Twitter account that 10 clubs have emphatically said that they will not draft Garlett.

Being reported apparently Simpson manager has advised only last night prospective clubs he has a 1yo daughter? All of a sudden might be even have a chance to stay in Perth and end in up in Purple!

Edit Yakka just beat me to it... But keep the thing about he is a slim chance to get thought to us at 17!

 

[Bulldocker]

Whoa, that Spencer White is a hulking agile unit isn't he?
Got my hopes up for Shaw personally, but White is getting more and more interesting as I read and see more of him.
Interesting asset in Josh Simpson too. Generally the indigenous lads are very one sided due to the ability to weave so well onto the preferred side. Just fantastic though to see a kid like that being so silky on either foot without the need to kick off the outside of the preferred to get out of trouble.
Afraid I'm just not sold on Garlett though - particularly with our glaring need for big bodied kpp's and the fact that we now have dpearce on board already.

**** sake.
What is with this new forum format? I found out that for some reason I stopped receiving emails for Knightmares' draft thread.. Anyone else cease to receive emails for threads once in a while?

I'll get a notification that someone has posted in a thread I'm subscribed to and find out it's actually the 50th new reply since last I checked, so yeah.

 

[Kickett Punches Read]

Wow nice pick from dayle, wouldn't touch that kid with a ten foot pole. Kicked out of the academy (still not sure what he did), loves a smoke and a drink. Rookie pick at best for me

 

[Lach72]

WC @ 46? Don't suppose he's been king hit at a night club by any chance?

only if he was out with Murray Newman

 

[mayne iac]

[Dockernut]

only if he was out with Murray Newman

Boom Tish!

That photo looks awfully staged or incredibly stupid and arrogant.

I think a WA club is pulling the wool over the AFL eyes.

Yep. Just like Jack Darling.

Off field issues aside, do you really think Simpson is that far ahead of Garlett? Or offers that much more?

Also, had a tweet to EQ. She believes that most clubs have known about the baby thing for a while.

 

[ImperialPurple]

That photo looks awfully staged

agree

 

[Chris25]

Definitely. Much better skills, and I think he has a more defined role at AFL level. I think the difference could be as great as Daniel Wells (Simpson) versus Cruize Garlett (Garlett).

Yep, pre - photo shop would have him with a skinny can of energy drink and a TV remote in place of the death stick.
Awfully contrived and I expect a last minute breaking news incident involving him televised by Channel Eagle .
Not that I want him at Freo. Simpson offers more.

 

[23cmonShane!]

Hoping beyond hope that Simpson falls to us, but I think highly unlikely !
