Opinion 2012 Rookie Draft

[The Sloane Ranger]

Doesnt Toy have a heart condition that means he cant push his heart rate to the required levels? I thought that was why he was delisted from GC.

Correct he does have a heart condition however his condition has been given the green light to handle the rigor of AFL footy

I thought Toy walked out on the GC? If so it has back fired

 

[Brassy88]

Justin Hardy is a good option. Can play forward, key position and can also ruck. peoples thoughts?

He has been given the green light, but I think that was only in the sense that he won't drop dead on the field. Apparently the condition restricts his maximum heart rate to below 100bpm, so he will always struggle to run games out.

Anybody considering Emmanuel Irra?

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Ok then Leith Forrest thinks we have 2 picks in the PSD since we lost pick 20 & 54

 

[OrdinaryJoel]

Emmanuel Irra, Sam Colqhuon, Dayle Gartlett, Ben Rioli, Willie Rioli, Hayden Jolly...

In no particular order...

We currently have 40 players on our senior list as far as I'm aware. Once Tippett is removed, we have one spot, which will be filled by taking Joyce.

Im sure all afl clubs are.
Does anyone on here rate Liddle from south?

and rookie list just the 1 right?

Hardy could plsy forward howver wouldn't be able to ruck at AFL leve l

 

[headache1]

I think so. I'm just going by what I've read on here though.

 

[Stazza#5]

What about Mitch Clisby. Good medium defender with a bit of run and anticipation. Also a local boy and good mates with Tex apparently.

 

[Discarnate]

Isn't it 4 players on the rookie list now? Sorry if I'm wrong but don't we only have Orval and Laird on the rookie list atm? Unless we had to move Dowdell onto from the alternative talent rookie list (not sure there). So wouldn't we have 2 rookie draft picks (and then 1 PSD pick after Tippett goes which will be used on Joyce - who btw let him have his 2nd year on the list before you throw him away). Apologies if I missed something earlier or that third rookie lsit spot is taken.

Orval, Laird and McIntyre

 

[Crowman32]

Have heard we have shown interest in Nick Hayes from the eagles/Sacred Heart. Regarded by eagles talent manager as the best contested mark they've had at the club in past five years.

 

[Discarnate]

@ AdelaideFan14

ahh McIntyre - cheers. Def one then. Mmm definite pity about that, a couple of picks would have been nice.

 

[GrandBlue]

Absolutely no chance you'll pick up Garlett or Toy.

Hardy's the one I'd imagine the Crows will be looking at. Big, Mature Aged Power Forward who won the leading goal kicker award in the SANFL playing for Central Districts. Also capable of shifting into defense and even ruck.

Jack Hannath, Josh Freezer, Emmanual Irra, Andrew Boston, Matthew Haynes, Harley Montgomery, Nathan Stark and Shane Nelsen are the other players you'll probably look at if they're available. Could add Sam Colquhoun to that list, but I think Port are dead-set certainties to get him.

I just read an excellent article on Byron which gives a detailed.and enlightening insight into this lad.

I'm sorry I'm on phone internet and can't provide link. If anyone can its a very worthwhile read. It's dated 20 July 2012 and was on AdelaideNow. Found it just by googling his name.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Why was Byron delisted from Sydney anyone know the reason ??

Homesickness

 

[FAITH]

he seemed pretty confident the crows will pick him up

 

[Tex200]

Homesickness

The article I mentioned above puts it as more complex than that, but was certainly part of it.

Had a peek at his highlights. Has certainly got it, well worth a go.
