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

Hamp with our second rookie pick
.
sydney eagle
Norm Smith Medallist
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.
And our final pick is used on Jeremy McGovern.. whos he???

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

Who the hell is Jeremy McGovern?

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.

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
Stupid waste of a pick. What have they got against small, pacy players who can kick goals?
Well looks like we have solved our small forward problem 
We love a speculative Claremont pick, don't we.
Indeed. I wanted a ruckman in the Rookie Draft.

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

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?

And the rebuild begins.

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.

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.
