Rookie Draft

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

It's crazy how a player goes from being rated as a top junior to being a PSD pick within 12 months.

 

[Wirra for PM]

Rhys Cooyou gone to GWS.

 

[Underdog]

Houlihan as expected

Cooyou and Stevens to GWS

 

[Underdog]

Milera to Adelaide with the pick before Port's

 

[Brazen]

Hamp with our second rookie pick

 

[Obeanie1]

Hamp with our second rookie pick

Good pickup.

'Hams drills a worm burner to Hamp on the lead' may be the call in another 2>3 years.

 

[sydney eagle]

Hamp with our second rookie pick

What sort of player is Hamp ? Tall forward isn't it. Could be a useful player a few years down the track and put pressure on Wilson,Kennedy etc for a spot.

 

[Brazen]

And our final pick is used on Jeremy McGovern.. whos he???

 

[Underdog]

who the f**k is Jeremy McGovern?

192cm lead up forward, supposedly a reasonable kick on goal but inconsistent

 

[Wirra for PM]

Who the hell is Jeremy McGovern?

Ruckman I think...

I just had a look in my "Inside Footy Draft Special" and Hamp seems to be about the same height as Darling, but lighter (193cm compared to 191cm but only 83kg as against Darlings 94kg). We seem to be drafting key position forwards and ruckmen for the future this time around.

A ruckman.

Am glad the eagles have heard my call - i've been bleating on for more ruckmen on the list for a while.

For those playing at home - we now have 5 capable of rucking which is the league standard it seems. It also means that Lynch's position is far more tenuous for next year

 

[Bacchus]

A ruckman.

Stupid waste of a pick. What have they got against small, pacy players who can kick goals?

 

[southcoast]

Well looks like we have solved our small forward problem

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

We love a speculative Claremont pick, don't we.

Indeed. I wanted a ruckman in the Rookie Draft.

 

[HSSB]

Did you guys pick up Pacemaker?

Perhaps it's either our recruiters and scouts struggle to identify the talent or there are simply better players available.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Well looks like we have solved our small forward problem

We've got a number of blokes who can play small forward.

You really only have room for one genuine pocket - and we've recruited a number of blokes who could fill that role - at least until they mature to become midfielders

Neates, Broomes, Weedon, Hams - how many do you want to fill one position?

 

[Monocle]

McGovern is a good pick up . I have watched the Claremont colts and Jeremy has played well. I dont see him as a AFL ruckman but he is a KPP. In the second semi C v EF he did a number on Chalwell. McGovern is very strong in the air and has sticky fingers.

I know that many of you will be disapointed but I am happy with this pick.

Albeit .... we didnt address our small crumbing forward.

 

[Ochre]

Hansen and Cockie didnt get picked up

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Perhaps Chalwell isn't that great as no one deemed him good enough to pick. I'm staggered BF talent scouts have it wrong

And to think people wanted him at 29

I'll back the recruiters to get it right.
