Seeings as SA's seem to be on the radar here is an article about Read.

could still end up with the Ferarri & McLaren combination to!

Freo are short of KPs and had several opportunities to pull the trigger on local lad Keitel, but didn't.

I wonder why? Warning sign?

Maybe the slew of full time recruiting staff across 18 clubs decided he's just not that good DR.

 

[fronkalicious]

I'd like us to consider Wasley-Black. As a 19y.o there's some promise. Sort of a poor-mans Laverde currently without wanting to denigrate him.

Bit of a poor mans Lukas Webb?

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

I'd like to think in the rookie draft we take a KPD & KPF prospect, Pearce again & maybe another shutdown midfielder/small defender

A few still available. Evans would be nice.

 

[Wizard17]

If we continue with drafting a ball carrier or two Billy Myers might be given a rookie spot.

Surely we should consider picking Grimley before the Hawks redraft him as a rookie. Although not sure how it would work with him having to be paid out his contract for second year that the Hawks didn't give him. I suppose they would just have to top up our payments?

Correct - Hawks wouldn't have to pay him at all if he was on a senior list but as a rookie they pay the player the difference between the rookie salary and whatever his contract second year is worth.

I'd add Brenton Payne to the list of tall forwards he is light on but is a complete natural and is athletic. Plays a bit like NR not saying he is as good but would be awesome with Boyd and say Read or another fwd/ruck.

Towards the end he out marks Moore.

I wanted Payne at 44... But then, if we get him in rookie draft I would be really happy.

There are a few guys I'd consider

[dergert]

I want this guy above everyone else. Seems from the video he could be a more consistent Jarrad Grant. He has some toe for a big fella.

 

[dergert]

I'm actually going to be very disappointed if we don't select him.

Looks good how tall / heavy is he?

193 cms, 93 kgs.

I'm surprised he weighs that much, moves pretty good. I think he would compliment boyd perfectly. But, I guess Dal knows best.

He's still on the table so we might get him in the rookie draft. Looks a great candidate

He is on the list, but because of his 193 cm 76 kg i did not include him
with the others. After the main draft 76 kg does look like the incredible
hulk though.
