Full credit to the club using the Watts pick on an electrician. Up there with Hawthorn drafting Mitchell Lewis, or Lewis Mitchell or whatever his name was.

Very very very happy about this from an opposition POV.

I know his brother and lived next door to a mate of his and they're all absolutely buzzing.

I was shaking too as I too knew him from primary school.

Welcome Fritta.
 
Over the moon for Bayley, to go from almost not being able to play footy to working into one of the best forwards in the vfl to being drafted

Give him the #4 and watch him work

Just ******* leave it. What's the point of bullshit like this. JW gave more to this club than you ever will, have a bit of respect for a 9 year player.
 
In the SEN Inside Football Draft Special, with a top score of 5, he rated as follows:

Kicking 4.5
Marking 4
Accumulating 3
Contested Ball 3.5
Speed 3
Agility 3.5
Endurance 3.5
Draft Range: Third Round
 
Not many Vfl guys got drafted this year which surprised me given the supposed shallow stocks at under 18 level.

Fritsch looks to be rather similar to Hannan in role, so I hope we can fit them both in.

I expect a few to be taken in the rookie draft

what did he actually give??? definitely wasnt his all. respect? you mean like his own club trading him with 2 years left on his contract. youd find he didnt show much respect or didnt give * all. so they had enough but carry on crying over the exact reason we were shite

I thought he looked really good when I went along to watch Casey this year. Seems to work hard to get to dangerous spots. I’m glad we picked him.
 
Bayley suffered the same back injury as jesse Hogan and only did half a pre season

Enjoy a fully fit Bayley leading up from the forward line

Hannan a better forward in terms of leap but Bayley is a better player
Classy wing with elite kicking and heavily underrated contested marking
 
He looks elite overhead with beautiful foot skills. From that clip though doesn’t look quick. That will be his challenge I reckon. If he’s playing on guys five yards quicker than him he better be good at contested marking because he won’t be getting anything uncontested.

Thanks mate. Happy with the dogs draft?

Prettt happy if naughton can fix his kicking action he will be an elite defender while Richards reminds me of JJ
Porter at 74 is a massive steal, if he was 6cm taller would be a top 30 player

How do you think Fritsch will go with the pace of AFL?

He's already quick now against afl defenders with limited pre season
In a full time environment he will be able to break off from his defender
