Draft History: 2016 AFL National Draft pick 37

 

[Falco]

As Josh's sponsor this year, I have been woefully bad at keeing this updated (work and family reasons), but rest assured sports fans, I am back.

Below are a couple of links to the post draft profile for Josh from the WCE website and a video of his screamer that he took during the U-18 champs.

Everything considered, we may have picked up an absolute jet at pick 37. Josh is a speedy half back flanker who could possibly remain on the outside or develop into a midfielder.

Josh comments on the Royal's recent form turnaround and the benefits of playing in a Royals setup with senior players like Emac and Schofield.

Ha, one season in and it seems strange that Rotham recorded a 2.92 as his combine sprint time.

Hopefully with some more development he starts to show off his jets

Hopefully we start to use him as an outside mid/wing instead of a third defender once he puts on some more size.

One player I seriously hope fulfils his potential. Big fan.

Rotham confirmed as making his debut this weekend in the Grand Final rematch, fairly big stage but I'm sure he's up for it.

He'll be the 246th Eagle*, the fifth Josh (after Wooden, Kennedy, Hill and Smith who debuted last week), the eighth player to wear the number 35 (after McGinnity, Armstrong, Green, Crabb, Cousins, Blurton and Ugle) and by my count the 20th player from West Perth.
