Quite plausible that we could add Kersten, Lockyer, Dawson and Dick, plus perhaps someone like Horsely, all of whom could impact our best 22. And that is following 3 yrs of rebuild. We also have a group of recruits yet to really impact the 22 in Mitchie, Mellington, Walters and Pitt.
 
You get the feeling that wee-girls supporters would be pretty cut if we pinched Lockyer off them.... "CONSPIRACY!"

So your saying that our team is still weak enough that a bunch of kids can come in have an impact?

Probably a fair enough call i think

With the preparation put into the draftees these days that can be said for any team. Menzel, Sidebottom, Fyfe, Heppel, Gaff etc.

to be fair we went deep into drafts that weren't that deep & took some spec pics that haven't worked out, bolly, houghton etc. Still holes to fill.
 
It amazes me that I can read the newspaper, and read an article discussing the eagles and dockers - and still be amazed that in the same article it states that

1) Brad Hill isn't likely to be around at our first pick
2) There wont be midfielders we're after around at our first pick (16), *but*
3) The eagles will have lots of midfielders available at their pick (23?)

I don't know why I expect better quality journalism from our media. You'd think I'd learn to just not read it

A couple of those kids have afl ready bodies, though.

If we draft wisely, we can just about complete a balanced list that will see us through the next few years.

Bigpond footy said Freo would probably take Dawson with out first pick in the national draft, pick 16. :(
Ah ha

Jeez it'd be nice wouldn't it. It's hard not to count your chickens at this point.
 
I think the Saints are keen on Horsely...doubt we'll get him....
I think Coasters will nab Lockyer before he gets to our pick 29....
I have a bad feeling we won't pick Kersten at 16 & then he won't last until 20....

Hope I'm wrong

Saying that....I really hope Adams lasts until 16...doubtful though

As long as we dont waist our pic ND pics on Bootsma i'll be happy.

Can someone explain why Freo are considering him at pic 16. Freo also want him as Father/son but I cant see any clubs picking him up anyway.
