I really want us to draft Joel Garner just because his name is Joel Garner

View attachment 434526
Yep if he turned to be half as good for this state as the original, would be great.
Think getting another mature recruit apart from Gibson either draft or rookie would be worthwhile as long as we don't go the power poor type in multitude like they have. Doesn't need to be delisted AFL but just ready to play if opportunity there

In Aiden Bonar's case it's a very limited sample size available to do "Highlight" footage you do realise that??
He's only played less than a half dozen games to edit from. I've seen him play live and up close he is one very impressive footballer/athlete so be in no doubt whatsoever about this lad, he's talent laden, the only doubt is obvious with his knee recos but he's gone some way to dispelling that with highly impressive results in all the athletic testing at the Combine and a good showing in the All Stars game up against the cream of the U18 talent.
The Combine testing showed the only area Bonar has some work to do is with his endurance which would be expected after spending so long on the sidelines doing rehab.
What were his endurance testing results?
 
Lot of upside with his body development to come, I'd love him to be there @ 39.


He looks pretty good.. he’s bloody skinny!.. would have to get him eating a ton of food and in the gym straight away to get some meat on them bones!...

He reminds me of that young Melbourne FC lad that runs the ball off half back for them... Jayden hunt..

Be a good pick up if he’s still there at 39... but only if worpel is gone, hoping he’s still there and we grab him..

Cheers.

If that description is accurate, then it’s the classic AFC pick
- smart footballer
- competitor
- professional

As for his role I think that’s 100 percent what we need - drive from defence

If this were to happen, it'll re-shape the Draft top 10 dramatically ...

Promising tall youngster Sam Hayes says he is fine with a move to Western Australia long-term should he be drafted by Fremantle in the upcoming NAB AFL National Draft.

The Dockers are believed to be interested in moving on the 202.7cm forward/ruckman with their second selection of the draft, pick five, having delisted big men Jonathon Griffin and Zac Clarke last month.

Highly doubt it happens, but if it did:

1: LDU
2: Rayner (something tells me Freo will go with him, now)
3: Cerra
4: Dow
5: Hayes
6: Naughton
7: Stephenson
8: Brayshaw
9: Coffield
10: Fogarty
11: Brander

Could leave us with Bonar or Clark

Interesting reading these reviews with my jilted lover's glasses on.

Aiden Bonar - "He's a great kid with great parents and wonderful support around him."

No. He'll be heading back to this great support asap. I want kids with shitty parents who can't wait to get away from them.

Jarrod Brander - "Didn't play that many games for us because he goes to Geelong Grammar..."

No. Say no more.

Joel Garner - "Joel is an elite character who was captain of the AIS, Vic Metro and the Ranges this season so has leadership qualities to burn."

No. Don't want a switched on go-getter making smart, shrewd career decisions. Want a beer-swilling Crouch brother or Tex Walker who'll fall in love with the club and lap up the culture bullshit.

Nathan Murphy - He can play forward and back as a third tall and potentially if he builds up his tank, he can push into midfield with his athleticism.

Nope. We've heard "if he builds up his tank" a million times about these potential midfielders and they never end up there. If the prospect of getting drafted and making a career out of AFL football hasn't encouraged him to run a few extra laps nothing will.

Paddy Dow - "There was a knock on his kicking but that has improved."

Red flag. Don't want anyone who needs or ever needed to improve their kicking. Just someone who is good at kicking please. Oh yeah... and he's a Geelong Grammar boy too. Strike two.
 
Highly doubt it happens, but if it did:

Wouldn't surprise me in slightest if Hayes went in top 5

With Rayner LDU and Stephenson reckon he has the most scope to become an elite player from this draft
