Manton not being a 'need' isn't the issue that will decide whether he will or won't be drafted.

I know nothing about Wild except hearing his name being mentioned....are you able to let us know what type of player he is Pablito....or any other posters who may have an insight?
cheers, Mr Ed
He's a midfielder who can work both inside & outside the contest. He is a good size & relatively strong for his age. He is not super quick, but like Cripps can motor when running in a straight line. His hands are fairly good & he is a reasonably good kick & does read the play well. At times I have found that he doesn't push hard enough to get to contests & can spectate a little bit.I know nothing about Wild except hearing his name being mentioned....are you able to let us know what type of player he is Pablito....or any other posters who may have an insight?

If we were to recruit him as a rookie, I would anticipate him playing solely in the VFL next season as there are a number of players on our list who would start well ahead of him in the midfield stakes.
It will by us I reckon.
It shouldn't be, I see him as an anything or nothing type of player. In that regard, what position he plays shouldn't be the issue. In fact, I'd say Wild has more of a chance of being overlooked by us due to his playing position, particularly if we manage to draft a similar type with an earlier pick. We may, however, simply see him as a better prospect.

cheers mediumsizered, I assume it's not this Cameron Wild from the Knights/Vic Country? Just a little confused....
That's him. He moved to the Murray Bushrangers this season.
I hear his style is earnest yet poetic.I know nothing about Wild except hearing his name being mentioned....are you able to let us know what type of player he is Pablito....or any other posters who may have an insight?

When would we have to nominate wild?
Just did a bit of research on Cameron Wild....looks like he had a pretty good year for the Bushrangers in 2019. An excerpt from a game earlier this year...looks promising.

He actually turns 18yo on Nov 28, the second day of the National Draft!!

For the national draft? Two days ago.
For the rookie draft? He has to get the through the national draft first.

Assuming we didn't nominate him (these things don't always get announced straight away), he needs to also get through the PSD, but yes he would be eligible for pre-listing prior to the rookie draft.
thylacine60 is no.1, obviously.

Are we living in upside down world, or something?
There is no shame in being second in line after me.

Cameron Wild is listed to do the 2km time trial tomorrow amongst others who were injured at draft testing time. Must be on a radar somewhere.
