Toast Pick 28 - Fraser McInnes

[Miguel Sanchez]

Welcome Fraser McInnes (with one s), thought we needed some tall timber with one of our picks.

Re: Pick 28 - Fraser McInness

Why did we choose another tall forward ruck option???

Re: Pick 28 - Fraser McInness

Either we not confident that Lycett will stay or they have up the ground plans for Darling!

Mmm... not sure about this.

Re: Pick 28 - Fraser McInness

Lynch is near retirement.

Interesting we passed on Kirsten who seemed to be a bit higher rated.

Hope you turn out to be as good as the last Fraser we had!

Re: Pick 28 - Fraser McInness

Or preparing for life after Lynch and Cox, but I do think it's weird we'd draft another tall considering we got Lycett last year

The BigFooty expert within me is not impressed!

Umm read RE's take on this guy from the WA Draft Prospects thread he ad Mcinnes at the top.

Fraser McInnes 197cm's Perth
Fraser missed the championships due to injury, he is a well built, solid young man who has great closing speed, and is a class user of the footy.
Fraser unlike alot of juniors has always been a defender this gives him a great ability to the read the ball and psoition himself in marking contests.
I personally feel he has been the most underated KP defender in this draft, as I actually think he is the best kp defender in this draft.

KPD.

Maybe Lynch retiring?

KPD.

Well then.... his profile states otherwise

Tall forward/ruckman who is strong overhead and reads the game very well. Left footer who presents well as a target. Missed U18 Championships due to injury.

KPD? Looking at the bit of film he is too slow for a KPD... would get toweled up on a lead.

Can play either end.

Looks like a nice mover and great kick.

Versatile player, forward, back, possibly ruck and run through the middle.

Very very happy we drafted him instead of Talia and was rapt when he was available at pick 28.

Re: Pick 28 - Fraser McInness

00:27 is awesome. Spoil, side step, great kick.

 

[Swift Chubby]

In retrospect it's a pretty fair pick... Cox, Lynch soon gone - by then we'll have Naita, Lycett and doing this I guess we can get a bit of an early start in development of our future third option. This will hopefully leave us with a ruck division that's ready and capable once Coxy's time comes.

Exciting key position prospect who has strong family ties to the club.

Well maybe this explains it.

NEPOTISM...is it me or does Fraser look like a Troy Simmons clone ? geez I hope not.

Yes he does....

 

[PRANKSTER666]

Don't mind the pick but have a feeling Lockyer will do very well at Sydney.

The way he moves reminds me of that noddy from Freo, Gilmore and to a lesser extent Turnbridge.

Looks nothing like Simmons.

Really happy with Fraser, he was my 3rd favourite behind Murdoch and Newman. For those confused, he is a KPD who can go forward and back-up in the ruck. Hardly seen this year due to injury but a huge talent and we needed a KPD and I'm so relieved we've selected him over Talia!

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

196cm and moves well? Sounds good.

Furthermore, I'm taking it as a good sign that he missed footy with injury. If he was healthy maybe he would've gone a lot higher?

I agree.
