[Docker82]

Breaking news: Josh Mellington has withdrawn from the draft at the last minute. Looks like RLS may still be in with a shot

Code for no-one being interested?
Will be handy in the VFL.

Fremantle have said they would redraft him as a rookie, but I guess no one else was interested and he wanted to say in Victoria.

Some news just in: Delisted Fremantle player Josh Mellington has withdrawn his nomination for today's PSD and rookie drafts.

He has reached a settlement with Fremantle and will remain in his home state of Victoria next year. He is intending to play in the VFL.

That is as per a statement just sent out by Mellington's management, via the AFLPA.​

So Bower, Thorp and Cain it is??

At worst, they would make Peel a better team.

 

[Docker82]

Hope we stay away from Thorp. He'll only stop our youngsters from developing

 

[yakka man]

I knew Eli Templeton would go early.

 

[Rob]

North picked Joel Tippett

 

[Ripper]

pick 16: Fremantle: Michael Wood (Subiaco)

 

[gaskin]

Who is Michael Wood? Any Subi fans know much about him?

 

[go_the_dockers]

Michael Wood – Subiaco / 186cm / 65kg / ’94
Over age and played fwd at Subiaco this year and who dominated Colts level early with some big hauls and then was very impressive in some of his WAFL performances at senior level. Still very slight but has very good sense as a fwd and moves incredibly well. Leads to good places, good hands, rarely fumbles, and a beaut kick. His issues are body size and to influence games a bit more. Ticks a lot of boxes though and whilst will take time could be very good. Wonder if clubs might see him playing up the ground on a wing which would give him more draft scope.

 

[jedi mind tricks]

Why didn't we choose Cain a ready made player who could help our mids if needed.

 

[Wizard]

FF from Subi, kicked 18 in 10 games at WAFL and 29 in 10 games in Colts last year.

 

[Rob]

Small-ish forward it looks like. Not a high stat getter.
