Rookie Draft Discussion Thread

Re: Collingwood take Jarryd Blair with second pick in Rookie Draft

Definitely moves like a young Boomer Harvey or even Marc Murphy.

Like the look of him.

Still young and should potentially grow a few cms.

Hope he does because he could easily become a Lifetime VFL player if does not get Bigger

 

[Godfrey Jones]

He looks like quite a neat kick too -- most players who have some background in soccer seem to have good footskills, in fact.

i wonder why that is

 

[Kirby]

Bennell = Eddie Betts

 

[The Dawes]

Bennell = Eddie Betts

Would prefer: Bennell = Leon.

Kicking is a pretty fundamental skill in soccer

Would prefer: Bennell = Leon.

Me too, but he looks like Eddie Betts in almost every way.

 

[The Dawes]

He actually reminded me of Andrew Krakouer - let's hope he's more of a pacifist though.

Yeah, I can see Krakouer in his build around the shoulders. I'll play that one!

 

[Dave The Man]

is John Bennell Related to the DEES Jamie Bennell?

 

[The Royal Sampler]

I believe they're brothers, although I wait to be corrected.

Be Intresting who would have the Better Carrier

 

[Hard Yakka]

is John Bennell Related to the DEES Jamie Bennell?

I don't think so. John has a younger brother Harley though...

Saw that but could he be related another way?

Does Blair remind you of T Shaw?

I agree Hope we give him a go in the VFL and might draft him in the ND next year

T. Shaw on speed - now that's exciting

 

[SteeleAt11]

Were Blair and Keeffe really born on the same day (14/4/90) or does the CFC site have it wrong?

On a side note it is now official.. Scott Reed is the player born closest to our 1990 premiership (within a mere 72 hours) and therefore the chosen one spoken of in the prophecies.

 

[HFF]

Scotty Reed is a senior listed player on the rookie list if that makes sense.
He is a top prospect.

Good on the young man sacrificing himself (putting himself on the rookie list) to accomdate us and allowing us to be more flexible with both our primary and rookie lists.

 

[Skade]

Bennell was number 1 in Matt Burgan's list of 30, weather that means anything.

I get it - Is a Senior List player but we could put him on the Rookie List, So he can develop his Body Right

Totally agree - the fact the AFL have relaxed the rules for rookies next year must have helped his decision. If he's going well enough by mid year he is able to play seniors.

 

[Crazy Tails]

Bennell was number 1 in Matt Burgan's list of 30, weather that means anything.

Burgan's list was in alphabetical order Skade that's the only reason he was at number 1.

Hopefully he can turn out the best anyway.
