FREMANTLE
Pre-season selections: 1 (3)
Rookie selections: 2 (8, 24)
Needs: Another ruckman, with just Aaron Sandilands, Zach Clarke and the versatile Kepler Bradley on the list.
In their sights: Former Don Adam McPhee will return to his original AFL club in the pre-season draft. This leaves just two rookie picks for Freo, which may go local. East Fremantle's Kyle Hardingham has been training with the side and is a genuine contender. Ex-Roo Matt Riggio, former Pie Danny Stanley and young Sandgropers Josh Donaldson and Cameron Kickett are others in the mix.

Pre-Season Draft:

Pick 3 Fremantle - Adam McPhee



Rookie Draft:

Pick 8 Fremantle - Michael Barlow

Pick 24 Fremantle - Alex Silvagni



(I will fix the rookie picks when I get back on at 1pm Melb time, Unless a Mod want's to edit my post before then)

I'm going to be quite unhappy if we don't draft Silvagni. And I've only just got over the disappointment of not drafting Troy Taylor....

 

[samseenee]

I agree with you Chris, from what I have read on here from posters who have been to training, the write ups on him and what mates in Perth have mentioned about him when they've been to training and the likes - he seems to be someone that would be a good fit and give us a little more flexibility moving forward.

Late mail on the AFL Draft tracker is that Fremantle have assured Matt Riggio that they will pick him if still available.

Don't know how true it is though.

 

[FreoAzz]

As everyone has expected. Adam Mcphee to the club with pick 3 in the PSD.

 

[Lach72]

Hardingham to the bombers

 

[FreoAzz]

Hardingham to the bombers

Wow, I don't think anyone expected that.

 

[Lach72]

Neates can play a bit...good off half back

 

[dominguez]

McPhee to Freo = Official.

Eagles took Ryan Neates from Claremont.

 

[cp3_jr]

Very interesting the Dons took Hardingham, Riggio and Silvagni are my bets now.

 

[Chris25]

Hardingham the only surprise, and I can't say I'm too disappointed about it.

Silvagni and Foster are my picks.

 

[23cmonShane!]

Foster more likely now Hardingham has gone ???

 

[Lach72]

Would not be good to pick Foster again.
Hutchings is younger with less injury problems

Where is everyone watching or listening to it from?

Hopefully we have some luck in the rookie draft.
