MELBOURNE DEMONS!!!
i got this right of the demons site...


Preseason Draft

Guy Rigoni: The talented, long-kicking midfielder was re-drafted, following a good recovery after surgery on his back during 2002. Rigoni’s return to the Melbourne midfield will be welcome by players and supporters.


Rookie Draft:

Adam Fisher: A hard, inside 180cm midfielder who captained the Victorian Country U18 team. Was selected in the All Australian Squads from the U16 and U18 Championships. Hails from Horsham, and was drafted from the North Ballarat Rebels.

Dale Carson: A mobile 192 cm who has good arial skills. Has had some interruptions with his football due to injury in 2001 and glandular fever in part of 2002.

Ezra Poyas: A midfielder / forward who has been in the system for two years at Richmond. Trained exceptionally well with the Club during November, and is worthy of another chance to player AFL Football.

Nathan Carroll: A 22 year old, strong defender who is renowned for toughness. Drafted from Claremont, comes highly recommended by new Assistant Coach – Mark Riley.

Michael Clark: Dropped off the list after debuting in the final home and away round of 2002, has been re-drafted as a rookie. With lighting pace and tremendous endurance, is worthy of another chance to continue to develop via the rookie system.
 
dont know too much about all of them... so if anyone knows anything, please let us know! :)

but we seem to have done well! (especially with Poyas)

I can give you all the info you like on Dale Carson. And I know a lot seeing as we go to the same school and I spent a lot of lunchtimes this year kicking the footy with him!

Firstly, I was shocked when Footyman told me he was training with us. I was expecting him to either just miss out or scrape in on the Bulldogs rookie list. He comes from the Werribee Juniors (our rival club ;)) and has always been in their top 5 or 6 players. I'm not so suprised now, that he's found his way on a rookie list, but i was more suprised when I found he had a spot at the draft camp and was being considered by Brisbane ahead of so many others that could've been chosen from the WRFL.

He's very athletic. His athleticism and height is definitely what's got him his spot. He has a reasonable build, not overly bulky, but not skinny either and is probably still growing. He always kicked arse in the high jump, his leap is outstanding. Footywise though, I'm not so sure. He's far from a dud, but he's no superstar either. He can kick, mark, handball and everything, but I just havent seen him dominate a game like I've seen others do.

Overall, I'm happy for him, but a bit disappointed Melbourne went for him. Still, he might be one of those late developers, turn into a superstar and prove me wrong. I hope so.

Footyman, what's happened to Jon Antonello? He played at Werribee with Dale and was considered a better player by most of us at Hoppers.

If those are his only attributes, maybe we should make him a runner for the club. Runners don't have to kick. :p

Our club has been fooled somewhat in the Clark situation (or bribed).

you know, as much as i really dont know why im saying this, clark may actually have some good footy in him. he cant be all THAT bad, or else we wouldnt have picked him back up. hopefully, he'll come right and play some good footy. who knows, he may just be a late developer :confused:

then again, probs not!:rolleyes:

GOLD!
 
Dee, drafting Clark onto the rookie list is not a huge gamble at all. It is only the rookie list. I think you are overreacting. Poyas is a great pickup as are Fisher and Riggers. And Carroll and Carson sound pretty decent too. Have some confidence in the recruiting staff who have brought you Bruce, Whelan, Green, Wheatley, Armstrong etc etc in recent years. They would have redrafted Clark for a reason.

They re-drafted him to make sure they didn't look too good. Clark is a Dud. Dee had every right to be ****ed, the guy doesn't deserve to play U/13's.
