Its tough trying to get drafted

[Bulldogsroar]

The winner of the TAC coaches award was carson of the Western Jets , didnt get drafted !
The top votegetters in the Morrish Medal were
Rodan,Harris,Clarke,Mitcell,Cassidy,Callinan,Siegert, Greene,not many of these got drafted. Just shows how tough it must be on those who had illustrious junior careers and miss. Also shows that recruiters focus on potential

I ran as a field umpire in the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League for a few years.

To help out on Sunday's I also took an U16 game. There was one kid - Chris Holcombe - that I saw on a number of occasions. He was an absolute mile better than any other player in that competition. As a 16 year old he was about 6'4" with a gangly frame that looked like it was going to fill out.

He went through the Dandenong Stingrays and was subsequently drafted by Hawthorn. He was never able to make the senior grade. I know last year he played a few games as a supp player for Richmond.

I shake my head. How good do they have to be before they make it?
