With Williams, Lokan, B Morrison,B Shaw, King, Davidson and now Woewodin plus by all reports Cole.

Is there going to be 8 Kids worth taking.
Given the first six barely played on 2005 any one or kids will improve our list.

What draft picks do we have after 2 & 5 I suppose it must be 22, 38, 54, 70 & 86 plus David Fanning off the rookie list

Whilst we would like Power, Bartel etc I do not think it will happen.

Or will we use our first 5 and then leave two for PSD or promote a rookie in March.

We have done well with Rookies over the years, Maxwell, Harry in the last two.

Some points:

#1 - We will definitely use picks #2, #5, #21, #37 and #53. That is 5 of the spaces gone right there.

#2 - We will pick up one player in the PSD. That's 6 places gone.

#3 - David Fanning will be promoted to the senior list. That's the 7 players that have been delisted places gone.

#4 - Cole will not be delisted. He'll be traded for a decent draft pick, or for a player, so that will effectively replace him on the senior list.

#5 - Davies and O'Brien will stay on the rookie list because they can. Zane Leonard is gone, and Flaps is promoted, which means that we'll have another two picks in the rookie draft.

Don't see what your query is.

I also don't see why you think that our draftees didn't play much this year. The fact that they all played is impressive.

vinnie i think when whywilliams said the first 6 didnt play i think he meant the first six of the delisted players named, not our first six picks

We have room to get rid of couple more (even three) if we do another trade as well as the Cole trade (player for player) and promote O'Brien and/or Davies.

Where do we get the replacements?
Six draftees, two trades for currently listed players, two rookie promotions. Thats tons of turnover without going to the same well too often.

Ive heard we have delisted woewodin,is it possible to promote all 3 rookies to the senior list?
Yes we can.

Personally i think both fanning and davies will be elevated.

Any chance we'll rookie Davidson or B.Shaw?

I can just see Davidson going on to be a stellar player (with luck with injuries) and CFC completely regretting the choice. But yeah, i did read somewhere he was still going to train with us over the pre-season, is that information reliable? i think i heard the same about shaw... Except it might have actually been at a different club :p

Thanks Us3 you are correct.

I was happy with TClo, Rusling, Egan, Harry, Davies, Fanning and all the kids.

But we had 6 blokes getting paid for wearing Armani Suits and playing in the VFA.

If Cole & Woey are gone and if we can by some strange twist of fate pick up Luke Power we will have to give up a couple of picks say 5 & 21.

Then in what everyone is saying is a shallow draft we might be better off elevating Davies, Fanning and leaving Harry and having 3 rookies. But we always have two long term injuries so if the draft has some kids

No chance B Shaw. Outside chance Davidson but I doubt it. If OBrien and Davies remain on the rookie list, the club will want to fill the other two spots with some fresh talent, not recycled players.
