2013 Rookie Draft

[Jars458]

Rookie we should get Jesse O'Brien and Goldsworthy!

Goldsworthy is not an AFL footballer. Too small and too slow.

 

[Crowfoot]

Nathan Gordon?

 

[Jamezy88]

Kory Beard?

 

[Paladin]

Nathan Gordon?

Showed a bit during the finals series. I would give him a shot

 

[benji2]

Jake Keller?

 

[Jars458]

Jake Keller?

He was terrific in the GF. Again though, is he too much of a mid size as can't play AFL key position and does he have the speed for the flank?

Yeah, speed would be the worry. Also not tall enough for key position but can take a mark and maybe play 3rd tall/half-back. However, love the players that stand up in big games i.e a SANFL GF. Has joined the Nick Duigan and Lee Spurr club IMO as being a standout in losing SANFL GFs and I liken him to those two - and he's only 22 or 23.

Edit: Maybe another problem is that he's similar to L.Thompson - but it is a shallow draft.

 

[Coopers]

Ben Cavarra – Eastern Ranges / 173cm / 70kg / ‘95

Not sure what the massive obsession with size is - fast, elite kick? Dual B&F while playing against other kids.. presumably who are bigger. Get it done AFC.

I can understand the reservations, but surely there's not much to lose with offering a rookie position to see if his game can stand up in the SANFL first and hopefully the AFL, as clearly the kid can play.

There seems to be some talk about him being a possible rookie selection for Carlton. Would like us to grab him though.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

I wonder if we would take a risk on Marlon Pickett, just got out of jail but done pretty well in the wafl apparently has a young family so hopefully he'll change his ways, could be another krakour story except marlons alot younger.

Better if he stays in WA like Dayle Garlett

 

[budget]

I think the Matt rendall rule would ally here!

Draft Tony Armstrong??

 

[Vooligan]

Matt Fuller would be worth a look should he be around. Not sure he will be available. I think a mature, ready to go ruckman would be handy and I wouldn't be adverse to rookie list Tambling.

Don't think he'll be available at the rookie draft, but a definite yes if available.

Draft Tony Armstrong??

No Aaron Kite

[Schulzycrow]

Aish to Brissy. Get him back in a couple for sure now.

 

[Captain Poopybum]

Went back to NSW the last i heard

He is in Victoria playing for Glenroy Football Club. He is from Melbourne.

 

[Stripple]

So Battersyby still available am i right in saying he could be a gem?

 

[Crowfoot]

Hell Yes! I personally can't see why Riley Knight was picked at 46 over Battersby but I havent seen as much of Knight and I am sure that the Ogilvie and Noble have so....

 

[azza77]

Few decent picks left for rookie spots that we could jag

Battersby
Isiah miller
Darcy Cameron
Luke Reynolds

Disappointed to see Giles go to Carlton and collingwood jagged marsh with 77

 

[Mattrox]

How many picks could we use in the rookie draft?

Is it possible that we delist Jaensch to have an extra pick?........ I'm only dreaming, right?

 

[azza77]

Well I know that we delisted Joyce, callinan, Orval and McIntyre so that's a minimum of 4 giving us a lot of room.

Looking back on that draft we should have just paid out Jaensch and Martin and gone to the cleaners on our picks. Some decent talent still left untouched.
