Has anyone seen this guy play?

Gavin Grose Rebounding full-back with plenty of dash and excellent left foot kick. Queensland U18 representative in 2006 and impressive for U18 Allies.

Leo Barry type I guess
 
Gavin Grose looks interesting - does Brisbance get first preference over the native queenslanders ? How many picks do we have in the rookie draft ?

brisbane have no claims to any players in the rookie, they are all up for grabs. depends on how many rookies the team wants and how many we have delisted, i think we have around 2-3.

Brisbane do have first choice of the Queensland rookies ;) As far as i know we are in the market for two rookies to be drafted as McKinnon and Hocking are being retained.

To be honest i am not sure we will go with too many more midfielders given we have just taken 5 on saturday.We may well look at some older players like Pask (turns 22 in Jan so he may be just too old) or similar.

Rama will take one of them. Maybe a case of taking the best availabe with the first pick and I do agree they may look at a slighty older KPP with there second pick from a state league as they did with McKinnon and O'Keffe last year.
 
I say Leigh adams for pick 1. I love this guy. He was within metros best every game at the nationals,He was also their skipper. He is a future leader for some lucky club i think.
 
Leigh Adams then Gavin Grose would be ideal imo.

Best available then a bottom-aged KP backman with potential.

Matthew Long is a fair way off it. Would be as poor as a selection as Tim OKeefe. His u/18 grand final was terrible and was pantsed by Mckay. Have heard (obviously not too realiable see Selwood) that Essendon are very keen on Wellingham from WA who I know nothing about. Daniel Hayes has some support among our recruiters but drafting davey and Houli may nix his chances. I like Alex Lee as a young tall defender and Ben Jolley, James Ezard and Adam Iacobucci will be all considered according to my Cannons sources which are very reliable.

How old is Wellingham and what WAFL club does he play for?
 
Tom Hurley should be our number 1 target in my opinion. In order of preference:

1. Tom Hurley (Midfielder)
2. Robert Eddy ( Midfielder)
3. Leigh Adams ( Midfielder)
4. Shaun (?) Colbung (Midfielder/forward)
5. Nathan Batsanis (Midfielder)
6. Sam Jacobs (Ruckmen)
7. Dean Kelly ( midfielder)
