Draft Profile Josh Bootsma

[Dudley Leopard]

This one is driving me nuts. Does anyone have any footage of this kid?

Freo is supposed to be real keen on him and he is a late bolter for the top 30.

More information please.

 

[divvydan]

Paraphrased from MJP on Woof: Lived in Albany for most of his teenage years but moved to Perth this year. Running half back flanker type.Great kick off either side.

Played 13 Colts games with South Fremantle in 2011

Ave 10k, 3hb, 5marks.

Don't have any footage I'm afraid.

 

[Prem87]

Freo may take him with Pick 16.

These bolters will push some other players down to our picks, great!

 

[Joshen]

^ I doubt it, who will take him between 16 and 20?

 

[Nickos66]

I'd be inclined to ask who else would even bother taking him in the draft at all?

Carlton.

There was something floating around on snapchat...

I wouldn't be against giving him another shot on the rookie list.

How did he go in the WAFL this year?

Long shot to get another opportunity, but stranger things have happened.

I've only been to one Peel game this year and he went alright, still built a bit like a rake but has a great boot on him. Unlike last year I hadn't heard many people mention him on our board this year so maybe he has been average. I did ask recently on the Peel thread but forgotten what the answer was..

I heard he wasnt all that well liked at Carlton, and it wasnt just the sexting that got him booted (youd be booting most of your playing list if sending dick pics was a crime).

Again though, something a few years maturity could have helped.

 

[HARKER]

Bootsma has largely been regarded as a wasted pick, but this guy did have tricks that some before and after him, didn't.

The football profiling was impressive, the character profile not so much. Would be pleasing though to see him knuckle down and be given another shot.

 

[mightymouse75]

He has a tremendous boot from the back line which freo need. I hope we get him in the rookie draft. But we did have that opportunity last draFt aND didn't go.

 

[mightymouse75]

He might have grown up a bit. He dosnt appear to be dropping his head at peel.
