I was big on Erasmus, purely as I thought most of the players stated I will already be taken. So I thought he's probably the one that would be at our pick. Apparently his match vs E. Perth on the weekend was class.
Think my dream first round pick is one of MJ, Goater or Ward.

I'm not against a plug and play mid or Greg Clark, I just think they would've looked at all options during mid season draft and opted for West. Can't see them going for another, but we will likely delist Ah Chee and Hutch that will leave a decent hole in regards to stronger body mids. Those types we need in the wafl to remain competitive and be called upon if needed, so he may be a good option.

I reckon both will go on, sounds like Hurn will. Kennedy may opt to retire.

Clark was not an option as he is the Subiaco Vice Captain and consequently didn’t nominate for the mid season draft, bad move because with the season he is having he may well have been on an AFL list now.
Anyway it’s all meaningless conjecture as he didn’t nominate..... coulda woulda shouda stuff.

Interesting to see that we tried to use Erasmus’ South African heritage for our NGA. Totally unsurprising that the AFL vetoed it…

You know how high the hypocrisy over race is. If he was black south african he would have been in the academy in a ******* heartbeat.

Not true, Melbourne are going to miss out on an NGA product who's of Egyptian / South Sudanese heritage under the same ruling

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Oh my God, Karen. You can't just ask our NGA players why they're white.

It looks like Andrew is eligible for Melbourne but only if he falls outside the top 20.

But Erasmus isn’t eligible for us at all.

Not sure on the specifics of the ruling, but it's moot anyway. It doesn't look like Erasmus will slip outside the top 20

100%, he'll be gone by 15.
Would've been nice to add him though, and just get Sumich to say he likes to sook.
You cnts know what happened next...

Mac Andrew is eligible and Neil Erasmus isn't. Whether they get to their respective NGA clubs is a different story. My comment on race still stands. Both born in Africa, one is white, one is black. Different set of rules.

We pluck a mature ager out of the midseason draft and play him ahead of the sook?

My cynicism wasn’t so much based on his skin colour. Was more so around AFL HQ making a frankly predictable ruling denying us preferential access to an elite WA talent.

Absolutely the afl thing to do to in particular us or the crows.

I do find it however pertinent that the only reasonable reason for Erasmus to not be in an academy, no matter the club is because he is white because he fits the same selection criteria as Mac Andrew.

We picked up a guy who then slid to the rookie list who now looks like it was around where he shouldve gone?
Lets hope trew has a great season next year!

West is 22 and much stronger body and probably has a bigger tank, way more AFL ready.

He's an inside midfielder, he needs to build his tank and add some size and strength before we see him at AFL level. He's had a pretty decent year so far.

Comparatively, O'Driscoll who Freo drafted with pick 27 last season has pretty much had a similar season to him. Similar stats in wafl league, neither played for the seniors. Both inside mids.

He slide because of the comments and probably his kicking isn't elite, but my comment was obviously a joke.

 

[RanaNaved]

WC missed the cut off date to register Erasmus.

Doesn't matter anyway, he's going top 15.

 

[bUCKET__]

The only rational explanation that we would miss the cut off date, when other clubs didn't, is because Erasmus is pale as buggery

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

I had to laugh at Hasselby's column in the West yesterday. Some valid comments like the WA clubs would be better working together at the trade table and that Fremantle are in need for taller forwards.

But here's the problem. His suggestion that we could trade Brander or Waterman to Fremantle made sense but then he flucks it up and suggests that Freo offer up Connor Blakely

since Shuey is getting injured. FFS - the guy always seemed a few cents short of a dollar but after this column, I sense he is bordering at the 50 cents level. Blakely is not much better than Ainsworth!

FWIW - I would happily trade both Waterman and Brander to Freo for Sarong or Brayshaw.

The benefit of this trade is that you just know if Brander and Waterman end up in the Freo system, they wont suddenly become great KPP players and bite us on the arse.

I have no idea if he's any good, although being on the outer at the Suns isn't great.

Bunga should demand a trade back home after the slop produced today.
