Draft Smokys - Who May Get Picked Up Surprisingly

[the_kid_can_play_footy]

no hope for your mate im afraid. He was r*ped in the grand final by goldstein and crozier after duyndam went down.

i spoke to him a few weeks ago and he said he had been playing full back all year and just got thrown into the ruck is he still a chance with his year at full back

Aaron Lee, Son of Phil
PLayed in G.F.L this year
AShley Sampi like
big chance to go late in draft

 

[Invigoration]

Anyone think Drew Barnes from Nathalia might be a chance to go?
Played Bushrangers last year, played a full year in the seniors for Nathalia and took out their B&F, and they were the priemership team as well. Took it out before the Gemmil boys. Interested to hear if anyone thinks he could be a chance

Also Sam Boake from Tocumwal. Bit older, maybe 20?, played Bushys and after playing for Assumption got asked to play in the WAFL. Came back though due to home sickness, and simply played a year with his home club where as a midfielder averaged about 3-4 goals a game and 25+ touches.

Just curious to see if anyone has heard of them for starters, and then if there would be any interest from clubs?

Brad Collins?? captain of the murray bushrangers played in the under 18 National champs for Vic country. Any thoughts on him?

Are you bringing Sexy Back Brad?

Have seen brennan play at the tac level and thought he was pretty handy. There has certainly been worse players to get drafted. From brennans local club, baddeley, gaunt and brennans older brother have apparently attracted VFL interest with the possible move up after a year or so of development.
The Kid, what position would young brennan be suited to in an afl side? When i saw him he looked fairly agile. Perhaps a rucking Forward?
That young bloke from Haileybury u19s has been mentioned in the paper a while back too.

Varsamkakis is my smokey.

he has great hands ,kicks 50 both feet and has an excellent ability to get the ball in the in and under contest.

 

[sinepari]

Yeah I reckon he could get taken too, 'Magpies'.

yeh true but hes very slow and doesnt look real fit hard to see him being selected.

 

[sinepari]

You always say that. I don't think hes terribly slow, nor is he overweight like some claim.

Good player Drew Barnes, should have got away from Nathlia last year and played for a VFL club were he would have had more oppurtunity, Don't think he will get drafted but if he plays for a VFL club next year he will be a chance, terrific player, rate him highly. As for Sam Boake he is not quick enough and coming back to Toc would have hurt his chances, don't think he was any real chance, will just be a good country footballer.

Dan O'keefe -
I heard rumours of him maybe going at pick 16 to West Coast. He played for Vic Country U/18's this year and won the Geelong Falcons best and fairest and made the TAC Cup team of the year. He is a fantastic player and should definately get drafted but to go at 16 would be superb.

No it wouldn't, he should go at pick 25, or 57.

 

[FootyGuru]

there were big wraps on danial anthony from sandringham dragons early this year and late last year, do you think injuries have taken away his chance to get drafted? also andrew mcguiness and anthony calder are very good footballers from dragons. what are these guys chances of getting drafted or rookie drafted?

Interesting. Thanks for that. I haven't heard anything like that, but cheers.

Is a definate first round chance, but will probably go early second round IMO. First I've heard of him being linked to the Eagles.

 

[sinepari]

I've got no idea where he'll end up. Definitely a player I'm struggling to find a team for and I'm up to my 3rd round just about.

Mike Rockerfeller came second in the Geelong Falcons B & F and only played 10 games, ahead of draft chances Schofield, Boak, Sheringham, Williams and Hogan.

Would have to be a chance to get drafted late, or rookie listed.

 

[lisaloo]

Bradley Geddes from Woodville / West Torrens in the SANFL is definitley a chance.

He has played reserves all year as an 18 year old, and won the best and fairest. He was named in the league squad, that won the premiership, late in the season although didn't play. He could have played league in most other teams in the comp.

Has been invited to train with Port Power in the pre-season. The Crows and Richmond are looking at him also.

His coach this year, Rick McGowan, said he has the skills of Darren Jarman! Not a bad wrap.

He is 185cm 80 kg strong marking midfielder, forward or back, very versatile and has excellent skills on both sides.
Kicks goals from outside 50. A natural ball winner who can read the play well.

 

[kendall-2]

dean **** should get drafted. very hard at it, great size, good skills and the best tackler ive seen.
