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.
 
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.
 
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

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.

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 :o
 
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.
