[Salaryman]

Does Petterd have a brother?

he does, Rocky, but he's not as quick as his brother though..

Rocky Petterd?

 

[irel]

do Carlton have a F/S selection also?

Carlton have as yet not committed to a F/S selection. They do not rate them as worthy of a third round pick in this draft. So looks like they'll be hoping to pick one or more with a later rounds pick.

Did HBF pass on his selection to someone to pick on his behalf?

 

[Salaryman]

i know of two or three he was thinking about and i am 95% sure which of those he was going with, if others are around and ready to move on i will take a punt ??

Adelaide - Pick #34 Justin Westhoff (Central District)

http://www.cdfc.com.au/htmplayers/23JustinWesthoff.htm

~ 197cm 84kg

He may be turnining 20 in October, but he has come along in leaps and bounds this year. Kicked 30 goals in 14 games and averaged around 11 touches a game. Very strong overhead mark, terrific judge of the ball in flight, put his hands up and takes clean grabs. Very accurate kick, and a long kick, will kick them from 50 no problem. Skinny frame, needs a lot of bulking up but has outmarked many good fullbacks and stronger bodied opponents from just judging ball in flight a lot better. Not slow either, got a bit of pace and almost has a skinny wingman look when he runs quickly, and can turn on a 1 cent piece, very agile, not lead footed like a lot of KP can be.

With a bit of weight work he could add another dimension to the Adel forward line that needs a tall marking player who can kick goals. Justin is local, he wont go home and would be a good replacement for Fergus Watts, but is a better player IMO.

ya mongrel!!! i wanted this kid, but oh well, i might just have to take his brother. at least you havent held him back for when the real thing starts

 

[Salaryman]

as its only a practice run, i'll risk the wrath of HBF

At #35 Carlton selects: Andrejs EVERITT 193cm 76kg

Athletic KPB. Bottom aged with lots of scope for improvement. Obviously needs to add a lot of bulk in order to play against the monster CHF's so would need a few years development, but a nice mover across the ground, good overhead and for his size also below his knees, disposal and deicison making are solid....still not sure if Setanta will make a permanent CHB, and Andrejs might be ready as another option for CHB by the time Lance's knees give out on him.

[soupaman]

Are you gonna include players likely to be delisted in this draft

 

[mcphee_is_a_gun]

#36 Essendon selects: Jarryd MORTON

Tallish player who comes from a good football family. Could develope to a KP backmen or could play the Andrew Embley role of a tall wingman. Bit of a risky pick perhaps.

[macca69]

Generation Next: Australian players celebrate winning the Under-17 International Rules series between Australia and Ireland at Fremantle Oval yesterday.

On Monday, West Coast chief executive Trevor Nisbett joined several of his recruiting staff at Leederville Oval in Perth to see at first hand the progress of a 190-centimetre Claremont colt by the name of Jarryd Morton.

He did so because then Morton, the 17-year-old son of former Claremont captain Noel Morton and brother of West Coast's Mitch Morton, was still a potential father-son recruit for the Eagles. But by Tuesday afternoon that was no longer the case.

The decision taken by the AFL Commission on Tuesday to pull back by 12 months the expiry date on WAFL eligibility for potential West Coast father-sons to 1986 had, with the stroke of a pen, severed the connection.

``It was 1987 inclusive, but with the change it's now only up to 1987, so we can't get him,'' Nisbett complained that evening.

The change of date matters, because although Noel Morton played more than the 150 WAFL games required to make available to West Coast or Fremantle the sons of former West Australian players, he had not played the critical 150th match by the end of 1986. That came in 1987.

Noel Morton played his 171st and last match for Claremont in 1988.

The decision to roll back the qualification date to the year before West Coast's entry into the national competition is consistent with the 1990 expiry date set for Adelaide, which entered the competition in 1991. Fremantle (1995) and Port Adelaide (1997) also had their qualifying dates brought forward, when the commission also decided to abolish any time limit on father-son qualification up to the year of a club's entry into the AFL.

Nisbett questioned whether the changes served the spirit of the father-son concept. "You either want the father-son rule or you don't and I think the commission have got it right by retaining it. It is good for the fabric of the game. But they haven't got the workings of it right, in our view,'' he said.

"To us, the very meaning of the father-son rule is a romantic one, allowing kids to play with their dad's club and in this circumstance we've got the exact opposite."

Compounding Nisbett and West Coast's angst is that the change means they have lost more than the father-son rights to Jarryd Morton, a forward who is expected to represent Western Australia at this year's under-18 national carnival. Cale Morton, the third of Noel Morton's sons, also shows promise.

"We were lucky enough to get (Ben) Cousins and (Ashley) McIntosh under the old rules and Mitch Morton under the new rules but that's where it will end for a fair while, I would think," said Nisbett, whose views were echoed by his counterpart at Adelaide, Steven Trigg.

The Crows have dubbed the abolition of the limit as the "grandfather-son" change, a refinement that has given them access to a generation of 30 and
40-year-old sons of past players but not young potential players, namely
Bryce Gibbs, who yesterday claimed best-on-ground honours as Australia finally overcame the Irish - after successive ties - in the final under-17 international rules match by 15 points.

Unfortunately for Adelaide, Bryce's father, Ross, who played more than 250 matches for Glenelg, did not play his 200th SANFL match, which is the minimum set for the two South Australian clubs, until 1992.

 

[Calcium Man]

Thanks!!!

Thats a bit stupid but any way.

 

[WCL]

Where would Zac Millar fit into the wquation, probably round 4. Watched Jetta on the weekend and have seen him a couple fo times this year and he doesn't look that awesome but serviceable.

 

[irel]

Is Scottroo still picking for North? Last rond he wasn't seen for days.

[grub29]

Well done Gilly. Spot on. Very surprised Everitt fell to this pick.
