So what exactly is the status of Alec Waterman.

Does he need to enter the draft or is he a dfa from well......being delisted previously?

Also because we enter so late we wont be waiting long to take our total picks. Hurray!!

 

[Dylan82]

And another great Halls Creek boy. I met his mum and Aunty at the local pub up here watching one of our games. Both are passionate West Coast fans too

Wasn't aware of the family support for the club - perhaps that played as a factor in how he got to be training with the club rather than Fremantle.

Ironically it would seem one Halls Creek product could be coming in as a replacement for another after Watson's departure.

Cousin of Carlton's Petrevski-Seton as well.

 

[RanaNaved]

Played mostly half fwd, but spent a few games in the middle where he had a heap of clearances and contested footy.

I'd say he was mostly in the middle. The most clearances he had in a game was 6.

His score involvements and kicking were both poor. He's small and lacks speed and power.

He has no weapons.

 

[Monocle]

Monocle what are your thoughts on this kid?

Dominic Bedendo
Murray Bushrangers, NAB League / Myrtleford
Height: 188cm
Weight: 74kg
09/07/02

Wingman who has a real X-factor with his aerial skills but also has very good endurance and agility. Had promising bottom aged year with the Murray Bushrangers in the NAB League playing nine matches and averaging 10.4 disposals and started trials this year with a 21-disposal game against the Bendigo Pioneers before shutdown. Presented impressively at Victorian National Combine held in Bendigo with 99cm Running Vertical Jump elite along with a sharp 2.95 seconds for the 20 metres third best on the day.


Sheehan signals him out for a mention from all the other vic midfielders for some reason.

Could he be a nice slider or a smokey that is rated among the talent identifiers but less the recrutiers due to his year off?

He has played more as medium half forward, but he does have potential as a wingman, he has a huge vertical leap takes a lot of overhead marks and he does have sticky fingers.

Very raw and will be a project as he is so skinny, that said he is a very exciting prospect with high ceiling if he can puts all the bits to his game together.

Would have no problem with us taking him.

But he will need some time to develop his game, he really needs to learn how to use the ball better rather than just bombing away and kicking a far as he can.

He will need time as at the moment his body is very under developed, so he and the gym are going to need to become well acquainted.

SUre is and Watson was originally from Balgo a coomunity down the Tanami

Cox would be a great get. Definitely has the kick (left and right foot), skills, speed etc.

Is Jetta taking on a mentoring role within the club. Cox is def the type of player to sit under his tutelage

. Midfield as a 2nd skill at his size would be nice
Winder.
On a big upward trajectory as a Fwd Mid .
I hope somehow we could get 1 of or both of these .

I reckon freo will take Winder in the 3rd round. Hopefully they don't though.

 

[wooshwhisperer]

One for the 2022 draft lads

This young boys is already 2 meters and 82kg at 16

Be looking for the South Freo No.9 who received the tap work... I like an evasive player who wears the #9

 

[Obeanie1]

Dont Freo have two nga kids to take with 3rd and 4th rounders?

 

[Monocle]

Dont Freo have two nga kids to take with 3rd and 4th rounders?

Yes you are correct Obeanie1.

The two players are:

Brandon Walker. East Fremantle and Joel Western. Claremont , both of whom are expected to be taken / bid on in the 25 - 40 ish range.

Concur, the no 9 South Freo boy looks the goods.

 

[EaglesVille]

With our skeletal selections , I feel like it is countdown to meltdown for this thread but we won't know for years if this is a bastard draft or not

 

[boondy]

With our skeletal selections , I feel like it is countdown to meltdown for this thread but we won't know for years if this is a bastard draft or not

I look at it this way . There are 17 other clubs with 2 less selections for their squad . To me I see 34 potential draft picks that cannot be taken that ordinarily would not be available at our late picks . This is the best opportunity ever to get some steals late . We will be still spoilt with choice even at our late picks . Maybe we will melt over who we didnt pick while still available . So for this reason I will agree to your prediction of melts .

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Maybe we will melt over who we didnt pick while still available .

Nothing more guaranteed than this.

 

[ArdentEagle]

On draft night, if it were up to me.
After pick 25 if any of Poulter, Ford, O'Driscoll were on the board I'd be offering one of future 2nd rounders. If all 3 are I'll wait until 30 then offer swans 3rd.

If Winder is at 30, I'd offer swans future 3rd up.

Trew at 40, I'd offer swans future 3rd but want future 4th back.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Nothing more guaranteed than this.

Epic Melts this year I think.

When you add in the trading out of the picks we did have the chance we’ll ‘miss out’ on even the most speculative reaches is very high.

Tyler Brockman? - Collingwood
Alec Waterman? - F...F...Fremantle...
Cedric Cox? - ok we can probably get him.
Random Over-Age Instant Impact Midfielder who has immediate impact in 2021 playing high possession football for a bottom 4 team - WHY DID WE TRADE OUT OF THE 3RD ROUND?!

What picks will Freo use for either Waterman or Winder?

Jye Bolton and Fisher,will they even get picked?

Rowe should be gettable and potentially play round 1.

Brander is going nowhere next year, at least I wouldn’t if I was him, the young lady on his arm I saw yesterday was stunning

Assuming she is a Perth girl

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Wasn’t there some Victorian guy we drafted a while ago that hooked up with a local girl, but when she started getting attention for her looks she got him to demand a trade home to Victoria so she could pursue a media career?

The name escapes me.

The name escapes me.

Half Correct she wanted media exposure rather than an actual career in the media and the lure of a bigger audience was just too tempting.
Woman is an habitual attention seeker, that genuinely thinks and believes, that all our lives are infinitely better for us knowing what sort of toilet paper she buys for her family, and whats the best fabric softener.

Constantly giving all who will listen tips on the latest decor trends for the modern home and who's the hottest dress designer in town.

Her greatest claim to fame is that she married someone who was famous and wealthy and therefore by association with the famous other half now seeks notoriety in her own right.

People like her piss me off as they contribute nothing to society other than manufactured self adulation.

Although I should't Juddge her so harshly..... its a bit mean spirited of me.

Oh by the way she speaks highly of me too.

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

Do we need to draft Cox? or can we just put him straight onto our list as a delisted free agent?
