Draft picks other than pick 12

[Demon Revival]

I heard today that there is a very strong chance that we will be adding another 2 indigenous boys to our list, one a extremely speedy ball magnet who is a cousin of one of our players...

The other is hopefully a guy who when I was reading a copy of the footy record for round 22 2009 (page 10), had an article about a footy carnival held in NT...

Part of the story, Quote; One standout was Sammy Autio from Palmerston, a 190cm (and still growing) athletic and skillful player who tells me he is from the Nicky Winmar clan. He'll have to decide his sporting future soon, as he is also a promising amateur boxer..."

"He was picked in the All star team & the standard was judged to be of the standard seen at the recent NAB AFL Under16 Championships in Sydney."

Have any of you guys got any info on this kid???, I can't see anywhere that GC or GWS have picked him up, sounds like a good prospect to me...

If Luke Mitchell or Lucas Cook are available at 32 we swoop.

If we pass on Darling one of those is a chance.

Interesting DR - is this guy a short key position player or tall mid?

 

[SkulZ]

If your talking about this up coming draft then Sam Autio Is to young. He was playing U16s this year. Im realy keen on Luke Mitchell at pick 32

 

[Fairtex]

Adam Goodes 2.0

Would love to get Geelong Falcon Josh Walker with one of our later picks. If he comes on he is exactly the type we need, strong, hard working, one grab CHF.
I have seen a bit of him, really like him.

I'm not 100% on the exact relation, but does this mean Harley Bennell is sliding to #12

KLTH, No he is not likely to slide anywhere unfortunately... The potential recruit has a different surname to the Melb listed player...


Thanks Sculz, I couldn't find anything about how old he is, probably will be snapped up by one of the Newbies next year...

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

who is the potential recruit???

i wanna knowww

Rookie spot, Rodney Jetta (brother of Nev), approx 6' 3" & growing, approx 95kg,strong forward, good hands & classy on the ground, only needs to work on his fitness...

Kirk Ugle is Jamie Bennell's cousin - http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/104470/default.aspx

Really hope we dont rookie list Rodney, played on him last year when he was in a very dominate under 18's VAFA team, kicked a fair few goals but i no where near AFL level, 6'6" would be stretching it would only be 186cm i would say and hes 95 kgs because hes overweight

Jeremy Howe sounds very much like Robbo, a tasmanian full forward who is good in the air

Looks good in the video too. Seems to have great hands, and a good boot on him. Wonder what his flaws are? (considering he's expected to go so late in the draft)

Again like Robbo, he's rumoured to rate himself as a musician

 

[Darksidepoints]

Great leap on him and a nice kick.
