So we probably take one rookie and take a few train on over the preseason.

 

[Since 2001]

Just seen the video of cam being asked who he'd like to join him, said Matt LeRay

 

[number23]

Liam Hetherton prelisted as a Cat-B rookie at Sydney. Boy, Cal Twomey missed that one by over 500 miles.

I’m confused how he could be cat-b listed by the swans? He wasn’t apart of there academy so it doesn’t make sense.

It’s really not that hard to understand is it?

He clearly isn’t the player that was projected at the start of the season, for whatever reason. Be it that he’s not quick, that he’s “feet are cooked” or that he’s had some off-field troubles.

All 18 clubs looked passed him numerous times, just like plenty of others in previous drafts.

I really don’t understand why it’s that perplexing.

Because people that watched him play talk About the next Darren jarman …and he was mooted a 1st round pick in June …in 4 months he didn’t even get drafted

That’s why their perplexed

Anyone who thought or even compared him to Darren Jarman is a dunce. I've never seen that written anywhere.

So just the afl making stuff up again for the NSW teams!

 

[Since 2001]

3 Rookie spots available:
1. Greeves - We already know what he can do
2. Onley - We already know what he can do Edit: Tigers just took him, make it NHH
3. Krasnadamskis - 201cm Ruckman, Basketball background, very athletic and raw footy skills.

 

[number23]

Ollie Greeves gets rookied by us !

 

[Kuuz]

Eyyyy welcome (finally) Ollie Greaves.

So curious how he fell so far, but comes to the Hawks in the end

 

[VandoHawk]

We take Greeves in the rookie draft.

Has weaknesses but massive upside.

 

[Arrogant Frog]

Welcome Ollie Greeves

Cheaper than a 1st or 2nd rounder !

 

[Since 2001]

Just my personal opinion, this could be a massive steal for us in Ollie greeves. So far 1 for 1 hahaha

 

[Millsie69]

Everyone happy? We got Greeves lol

 

[Kuuz]

Ollie live footage at home

 

[HawthornHawk]

Anyone who thought or even compared him to Darren Jarman is a nonce. I've never seen that written anywhere.

A Nonce???

 

[Spudwick]

Definitely worth a flyer, welcome Ollie. Shaping as a great draft haul for us, excited to watch them all develop

It’s not a critique just a huge shift from initial expectations and I didn’t think his performances warranted that large of a slide. We just took him on the rookie draft so genius move and happy days!

 

[Yardie]

I wonder if there was any discussion with Ollie before we picked him up.

 

[Kuuz]

And we're done in the rookie draft. Nabbed Ollie and business done

 

[Yardie]

Is that two spots left over for SSP and MSD?
