Rookie list

[Dry Rot]

We've now lost 2 players for the season - what are our options re the Rookie List?

 

[Gridlock'd]

Matthew Boyd has played pretty well for Werribee but whether he is ready for the big league im not sure!!! Faulkener looks good but im also not too sure whether he is ready either!!! Other than that there isnt much else!

The west footscray under 12's have got a few good players aparantly!

 

[Chops]

Boyd is our only rookie. Need hard midfielders and if Alvey is out, ideal replacement as cross isn't ready physically.

 

[Dry Rot]

What's Boyd like?

I'll run it past the ANZ on Tuesday.

 

[Chops]

Boyd is a bigger bodied midfielder in the mould of Dimma and Hahn. Dominates at werribee level by running thriugh the lines. A big jump to Afl level!

 

[Dry Rot]

Why not try him? And Faulkner for that matter. Whatever we're doing now isn't working.

 

[Gridlock'd]

Yeah may aswell give em a go, they cant do any worse than Power, Cross etc.

Boydy is our only rookie, and i think he should be put on the senior list now(maybe the only reason he wont is because of $$$). He is strong, goes and gets the ball for himself, and puts his body in.I thought he should have been put on our senior list at draft time, so hopefully they will put him on now(if the cash is there).

He played yesterday for the Bees reserve team. Kicked one goal but was not really one of the better players.
I think he will play for the Bees senior team next week.

Having lived up in NSW for a while I can understand what you are going through. I would often get the Victorian papers a day late on some occasions just to get my footy fix. Of course it would be a lot better now with pay TV and the internet. I was also lucky where I would get some Melbourne work colleagues to fax me through Bulldog articles from the paper just so I could get the up to date information.

I wonder if we are now regretting not having a full list of rookies ?
