Lennon and Acres maybe?

Can we coax McCartney out of retirement for a mature aged rookie spot as well?

There's a McCartney in the 2nd/3rd round range that a couple of us like

Cool - any Harrisons?

They could all be Starrs!

 

[Richo83]

Majak is next to useless. Hicks was a worse kind of useless but both useless all the same.

Is Daw useless? I haven't seen him play yet, but North fans seem keen, what's wrong with him?

Bring Ben Harrison out of retirement? Harrison Marsh was a possibility last year.

Finding a Ringo might be tough.

Gee...who would have thought Norf fans would rate one of their players highly. Was good against the Dogs who are just a shit house team. Outside that game the guy can't get near the ball. Defenders have learnt to body him a lot and he seems to try avoid the contact. Hasn't got a lot of game sense IMO.

Ashley Sampi sindrome - dud with x-factor, a hack who only stars on highlights compilations.

Can't wait until that Yank gets a game. Norf nupties will no doubt declare him Jordan reincarnated on the footy field and a better get than Mike Pike.


Mind you, wouldn't mind if we took a punt on one of 'em next year.

Yer me either. Speaking of developing rucks. One of them can develop on the rookie list as long as you want them to.

Sampi could play, Daw is just an athlete who turned up at the wrong oval.

Maybe we could find a Best and delist him after a year

Ringo from Neighbours was gonna get drafted til he went off the rails, not that I watch such filth

Would be like cheating on Irene.

1. I think we should take at least 1 KPP even if we don't trade any out (provided they are deemed best available). Wouldn't use an early pick though. (3rd round onwards ideally) Reason being that if we keep picking 1 up each year we avoid getting in a situation like 2008/09 where we have no talls and have to draft them over possibly better midfielders. Keep re-generating. They become good trade bait anyway.

2. We need to take a ruck or 2 as well. Probably trade for one that can play now and rookie a kid for the future. Again, they become good trade bait later.

3. We definitely need an attacking wing type. And it seems Salem is our 1st round target. If we think he'll be available I'd probably rather take him than trade for Adams. Suits a need more. Not quite as tall as your range but he's quality and could put him on the opposite wing to Ellis and we'd be looking awesome. If we can nail that then another big inside mid who tackles with intent would be great or a small forward like an Impey/McCartney.

We should looking at our young talent on the rookie list also as a few have been there for a while and we need to decide wether they stay at the club.

 

[theflea]

Would we trade for the kangas rookie ruckman who cant get a game?

Verrier and Darrou. Can be offered a 3rd year if we wanted or promote. I think Verrier is gone. Hasn't really copped injuries that I know of and is a small/medium type. Darrou being a KPP and is developing nicely could get an extra year or a promotion. Best rookie we've had in a while IMO.

Currie? Yer I've suggested that as an option. He's ready to go. Depends what he'd cost because he has suffered a lot of injuries.

The only problem with darrou is hes only 190cm is is very undersized for a KPD. It would be only a 3rd tall at afl level and would have to be a good enough rebound player at the level but to be fair he has been doing that ok of late. Maybe that's where we see him as that type of player.

Yer that's why I think he deserves another year. His rebounding game has been very good. Uses his body well and has been doing alright on bigger players than him anyway.

 

[TFLUA-Tiger]

All the players with AIS scholarships trained with AFL clubs over Summer for a few weeks. Lennon and Nick Bourke trained with us.

TFLUA-Tiger could probably give a good run down of what he's like as a player

I can indeed.

YOTC10 - He's a tall, dynamic moving versatile type (can play forward, back and on-ball) who burns teams on the outside and rips them wide open with his pace, agility and long, searching kicks. Vic Metro tried him as a third tall and as a full forward on Sunday, but he's best suited as that high half forward who can transition into the midfield and still hurt you on the scoreboard, or playing on a wing/half back. Needs to keep working on his inside game to become a full-time midfielder, but has this versatility that, coupled with his agility that makes him quite a tantalising prospect.

I don't think I have him as high as most, but he's a nice height and does a lot well.
