draft

[shellsta33]

i no thise is sort off late but i think he did well in the draft but not good enought... we have a pretty basic backline(without mal michael) and kevin sheedy picked 5 forwards and 1 center i think he should of picked at least 2 or 3 backlineplayers
looking forward to your input

No worries,I'll try to shed some light on the matter of your concern.

Gumbleton-can play at full forward,CHB or in the ruck..a ruckman follower.

Houli,Jetta,Hislop and Davey can all play in many different parts of the ground in various roles...wait till about rd 12 next year till their positions are decided.

Reimers is a tallish,lanky player who can run all day.He has been used at centre half back and in the forward line at Peel Thunder this year and can kick a goal or two...good kick on the run at goal.

So we did pretty well with our picks and we should see all 6 play for the Dons sometime in 2007

great descriptions nobby, only time will tell where they play, a lot of good defenders start off forward in juniors then get groomed into backman at AFL level. just wait and see how they are developed and for what purpose

jetta is a boy,slight build.

Yer reimers looks smaller there,is he hunched over?

Anyway,from what I've seen,he runs on to the ball well and has good disposal.

Just over 6ft doesn't seem tall,but in the WAFL, most players are under 6'1 so I thought he was taller. He'll be alright

do u know if hes got good disposal and a good kick.

Tom (Tank) Hislop is the far right in the photo. Looks physically mature enough to play plenty of footy next year.

I would say Jetta is better built than most young aboriginals. Look at Dempsey, he is a rake. Jetta needs to lower hs skin folds, but he at least looks capable of maintaining a muscular build.

Yep he has,above average compared to most his own age group at PT. He's not outstanding,but will only get better over summer training with the boys.

Loves kicking a goal
