Middle East Rookie Draft

[Ronnie Deulio]

Long time watcher, first time contributor!!
Most of you punters have some experience/view of these kids. I've been living in the Middle East for a while and have only the benefit of highlight reels, stats and conjecture (and what you 'super coaches' say), so I'm not going to bore anyone with vital statistics and biographies. To put a different spin on it though, I'm going to be a complete Blue Bagger tragic and list a Phantom Draft Top 20 (without the academy picks and Father son picks.........as you all know they're 'shit happens' scenarios! And I'm sick of hearing about Mills, Hipwood, Keays etc..), and also add a Carlton 'ideal Top 20' too!! Da, da, da ,da, dahhhhhh!!!

Good Luck mate! Just down the road from Dubai! We'll have to start up a Middle East Blues supporter group!

Is this a CarLton thread

 

[Ronnie Deulio]

It is now!! No one else is commenting on it, so I would say absolutely!!

Sounds like a good idea!
First of all we need somewhere to watch all the games live!

There are quite a few places in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai! And OSN plays 5 games live a week! Bidi Bondi's on The Palm is a great Aussie bar to watch the footy!

 

[Ronnie Deulio]

Would do well to pick up Parish, Curnow, Weideman or Francis!

Think Milera should be one to land! I like Burton too!!

McKay and Mathieson seem more likely!!
