Mega Thread Rookie Draft

[Grave Danger]

Have we got the chance to sign a ruck for the magpies as a top up?

If we can find one willing to play for SANFL imposed slave wages.

 

[wilbur_15]

Hewett Cornell Houston snelling were players we had interest in draft night

Impressive inside info. Cornell went one pick before Snelling too.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Overall port may have not had a first rounder but we picked up 5 young talented 18 year olds, 1 former pick 4 and a key forward in his prime. Great trade and drafting period for port once again.

We already have in Jonathan Ross

Yeah as was discussed earlier on that page, Jon Ross.

edit: beaten to it.

 

[ploppy]

how is krakour on the rookie list...if he is not first 18 I'll eat my hat.

 

[Steve Dore]

Didn't he play for the Crows back in the 90's?

you better start the marinade.

 

[manureid]

Lets be honest, these rookies may never crack the team. We can but hope we get some gem in the picks.

Did you see him at the 3km trial? That alone would likely sway your opinion. Alot of improvement needed from Krak.

How is that any different from the draft? We have picked up some excellent speculative picks with some great tools to work with.

Yea if 1 turns into a reasonable AFL player it's a win

Inb4 "draftees of all kinds must play at an SANFL side other than the team that drafted them for the first three years" rule. Given most players don't make it within that three years, they get to keep the player for their entire AFL career.

 

[Jonts]

On krak

Did comprehensively beat his 2014 3ker

Improvement is there

It's never been his bag even when he was teenage wippet

 

[Dalfino]

Logan 'Austin' and Dan 'Houston'... just draft me ('Dallas' Rodgers) and we'll have the Trifecta of Texan cities!

 

[Portia]

No ruckman.


Hmm.

 

[cmpower]

Crows took beech. F**k them

Don't give them any ideas!

Nice selections all round, but surprised at the lack of a ruckman.

I guess Westoff, Trengove and Dixon can be used sparingly if needed in an emergency. Hell even Butch could crash in for a few contests!

inb4 cease and desist letter from the Big Texan's lawyers.

No probs, we can take it all the way to the Matt Whitehouse.

 

[charcolechaddy]

We had 5 creative hbfs in our top side at the end of the year, how much depth do you need at Flanker.

So does keeping Paul Stewart. Giving ourselves the best chance to collect AFL talent is only served by one of the two options.

Any time your argument is `we did it so it must be right' you should bang your head against the wall

Did we just pick up two more dear I say it "flankers"?

 

[Portia]

Yeah we did, its baffling.

 

[Macca19]

No ruckman.


Hmm.

Crows took the one I wanted. Outside of that, i'm not too concerned we didnt pick one.

 

[Popielnicki]

Not bad hey
