Davis had 20 tackles in a game this year. To me that just screams out a bloke that would take his second chance with both hands.

Hi guys , pardon the intrusion
I believe Cam has been on a special program designed by GC all year. He has met all the requirements and been rewarded with a Rookie spot.
He is a terrific kid with strong hands and a good set shot. With his new level of conditioning and fitness he may surprise.
Keough seems to have very good marking and intercept skills.

Ok, our list is complete. Im gonna close this thread down soon, and try and focus more on the individual player threads.
Is there anyone who can do the profile threads for todays rookies?
Well at least they had an individualized program for someone.Can't be true. Nothing good has come from our past fitness team.
What are your concerns with MacPherson LM? His size or something else?Quite like what we did in this rookie draft. Especially Davis.
Not that sold on MacPherson yet but it'll be interesting to see how he goes! Defensive pressure is a good place to start.

Nice mark, pace, in & under. And can kick goalsI don't mind the look of McPherson, not a bad highlight video.. Has a bit of dash about him ala Saad and a bit of courage, get the.. Out my way it's my clearance ala Ablett in him

I thought there must've been something seriously wrong with Loersch. Even when he was 'talked about' he wasn't ever considered a genuine lock for the draft. There was surely an issue somewhere because what sort of 6'6 full forward, who kicks bags in probably the best colts unit in the state, doesn't get drafted? It was weird.Really interesting to hear that you had Loersch on a program all year. Heard absolutely nothing about him in 2015 after he got a bit of press for being dominant goalkicker as a 19 year old in the colts. Didn't think he had the athleticism or ability in the ruck to reach an AFL list, but having not seen him all year the work he's been doing could have transformed him considerably.

I was surprised to see him picked up but good on him. He's built like a brick shithouse and had to put up with an average Souths midfield and sharing the forward line with that gun from Douth, Bairstow. Wouldn't surprise me to see him go well in the ressies up in Queensland.
Further justification that the decision to draft Ah Chee over Weideman was the correct one. Always suspected he'd be a flight risk with the famous Collingwood name and strong family connections to Victoria. Added to that he was always going to be fourth in line for a key forward post behind Lynch, Day and Wright for at least a couple of years. The offers from down south would have been coming thick and fast if we had of drafted him. The Loersch WA rookie pick was a good safe back-up option.Saw my mate who works for AFL Media yesterday who was over in Adelaide for the draft.
Said that Sam Weidemen was nervous as before the draft as was worried GC would pick him up as he just wanted to stay in Melbourne.
He cut up all the highlight packages for the draftees for the AFL website but wasn't involved in the McKenzie Willis highlights and didn't know much about him, he though GC must have cut their own highlights package.
Budarick is very stiff, had a good year and tested well. Shocked we didn't list him
Possibly the attitude of Budarick went against him too. We are recruiting players heavily based on their personality and attitude, so if his physical performance was as good as we saw yet wasn't drafted I'd say there's a good reason. In saying that, I'm a huge Budarick fan and am a little annoyed we didn't get him.Think his height went against him a bit , i watched quite a few ressies games at the back end of the year and Budarick looked a better prospect over Joyce. Only thing i can think of is they think Joyce has more scope for improvement.
