Ed Clarke from NSW/ACT RAMS should be drafted. Ill just let you in on his resume:
1) 2004 All Australian U/18
2) 2004 NSW MVP at nationals as Vice Captain
3) Voted Clear Best on ground in the rising stars cup. With 32 possessions and 2 goals.
4) In his 3rd game of nationals against tasmania he had 26 possessions, 6 goals straight, and 9 clearances. And yes NSW/ACT lost that game too.
5) 2004 SFL first grade premiership player.
6) He recieved 10 morrish medal votes from and he only played 4 games
7) As an u/16 he won the U/18 B/f for the comp in Sydney. He only played 6 games. Yes i know Sydney football is not at the highest standard but this is still massive effort.
8) Numerous mentions in the best players for the swans reserves.
9) Captained NSW/ACT U/16 in 2002 where he recieved runner up best at Carnival.
10) He attended the 2004 draft camp screenings.
11) Ed represented NSW/ACT in U/16 for 2 Nationals and U/18 for 2 NAationals
A reason why Ed isnt a shoo in because of his body type. He is stated to be 178 and 91. Ed is easily a few cm taller than this. Another reason hindering his draft chances is he had a dissapointing 2003 U/18 nationals as he was suffering from osteitis pubis for the whole year.
I read somewhere that Ed was slow. This is bullsh#t. Ed can run 20 meters in just over 2 sec. He is also fit and recently ran 14.8 in the beep test.
I think through this that ed deserves to be drafted. Sure he doesnt have the perfect body type, but when you have the footy it doesnt really matter how tall you are.
