Rookie Draft

[It Just Is]

haha oops

 

[Adz2332]

Gray to port

Honestly think we have stuffed up big time....
could have had Battersby, could have gone a tall.
insetad went a charity pick in gray, unknown and renouf and mitchell....

 

[Doctor Feel]

Shit draft, shit rookie draft. We can only hope for better I guess.

 

[Doctor Feel]

St. Kilda sign an international Jason Holmes.

 

[Killer Power]

and renouf as expected

 

[Adz2332]

matt thomas as a rookie to rich!

 

[Doctor Feel]

....and renouf for us.

 

[RangaInTeal]

Mosquito fleet!

I thought Conlon could have been a great project

 

[bringbackbucky]

Well that was a strange mix. PAFC - land of the short people...

 

[Adz2332]

bloody irritating!
absolutly tanked that! could have had battersby vs a no body.
Gray as a charity pick over a host of talls...

Stuffed up overall!

 

[Husker]

All rather uninspiring really. Guess it just shows the club is pretty confident with our depth in all positions

Except back flank of course

 

[Doctor Feel]

Heath Scotland, lol.

 

[It Just Is]

I really hate our rookie drafting. Pick some bloody talls!!!

 

[Ant Bear]

At least we're as good as our word.

 

[cj_09]

Poor form...

 

[x_les_x]

Adelaide have got Battersby, (Jake) Kelly and SPina, they got good players considering their drafting mishaps

 

[Macca19]

Every year the Crows pick the players I fall in love with....Battersby & Spina. Every ****ing year.

 

[elsler]

I cant believe no one has taken a chance on conlon

So 3 short people, two who can't kick and an injured ruckman on our rookie list...

Awesome!!!

 

[YoungsterPA]

Pretty disappointed really

Can't believe we passed over hourigan and Conlon, we never seem to take risks with our rookie picks...

 

[It Just Is]

Will be interesting how many overlooked players we can attract to play in the academy side.

Hourigan, Miller, Conlon, Drummond, Rioli, Pitt, Buckby.

2 or 3 of those would be a very good result.

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

Pretty disappointed really

I'd think Russell is a risk. Seems like a stoopid, unnecessary risk that doesn't help us at all, but I cannot find a thing about him in any phantom draft, nor does he have a highlights video on AFL.com.au. So the only people he seems to have impressed are Port's recruiting team.

Dwayne Wilson didn't get picked up. What.

 

[Powerade 08]

Battersby and Hourigan are not AFL players.

Battersby and Hourigan are not AFL players.

Battersby and Hourigan are not AFL players.

 

[Killer Power]

Quite a number of international rookies getting a run, particularly from Ireland. Perhaps the international series does have some value after all.
