What are people's preferences between:
- Tipungwuti
- Irra
- Sumner

I'd be tempted to take Irra or Tipungwuti due to them being younger.

Splitting hairs in terms of Talent and potential, so i go with.

Irra.

You could also market the hell out of him. And get a few good news stories in the paper for a change to.

Jack Darling was a kid with attitude issues in the same mould as Mitch Morton and the Cornes brothers, touted as a first rounder or even top 3 pick, who slid all the way to the end of the first round at pick 26.

Garlett is a kid with attitude issues beyond what Darling had, let alone everything else, touted as a first round draft pick with supreme talent and he slidpast both Fremantle and West Coast - the teams with undoubtedly the best connections and information - who didn't even make eye contact with him, all the way out of the draft. Not just to the end of the first round, he slid so far that he's gone past the recycles and questionable rookie upgrades, and into the rookie draft where only one club saying maybe they'll take him, if they can get over his issues, but they need to think about it first.

Think about that for a while.

Your note suggests that there is more to Garlett than what is being said. I still stand by my comment but I am happy to reaccess it if I knew more about the type of isues he has.

A unknown kid by the name of "Mason Middleton" I rekon is worth a shot. Has been playing KPF & KPD in west adelaide reserves & a couple senior matches in 2012. He is 18 years old & stands 192cm's tall & weighs 96kg allready. the kid is a unbeleivable athlete & allready has amazing size & strength. Would love to see him in a crows gurnsey. SA born & bred so no go home factor aswellif he makes the senior list. Mason Middleton would make a great fit for the future

Thanks Mason. Hope you get picked up.

Nick Rodda

Birthdate:


6 Jul 1994
Height: 194cm
Weight: 94kg
Recruited: West Perth
State:
WA


Even though we have a few KPD i think at a rookie spot another tall is worth the risk, KPD players can be handy to trade down the track. Rodda to me seems to fit a full back position

I have seen a bit of him this year and he was ok but he has been training with Freo and is struggling.

Sumner at 20 isn't exactly ancient?

In Order:
Sumner
Irra
no nothing about the other guy

BTW what time is the draft starting tomorrow?

 

[CROUCH #2]

I rather we pick a mature player than for injury insurance over the next couple of years that I think are worth looking at.
Kris Pendlebury 26 years old – VFL full back of the year
Brett Goodes 28years old – VFL Back flank of the year
But if we want to develop players then a few players I believe could potentially help us within the next couple of years
Nick Rodda – Tall Back to compete for a spot with siggo
Byron Sumner – Wing
Matt Goldsworthy- Small Forward
Jaryd cachia- Half back

Goodes has been linked with the Bulldogs but it is a good list.

I would like at
Leigh Osborne
Sam Pleming
Mitch Clisby

A downgraded Liam Jurrah which might be harsh who was overlooked last year

I think Sumner's age would work in his favour.
At 21/22 with two afl pre seasons experience and a full year at torrens, would hold him in good stead. He should be physically ready to play AFL if required. With a smaller rookie list & our draft restrictions, we need one other player to potentially step up now. I'm not sure waiting for another teenager to develop is the way to go.

This article certainly makes Tipungwuti seem like a quality kid.

He didn't play league and he is not 96kgs. You got his name correct though.

I think one of the Phantom Rookie Drafts has him going to us.
