I would look at Patrick Rose. He's shown he's a very courageous bloke who puts his body on the line. Has a knack for producing vital goals. A smart player.

Stretton's a good little player, ability to find the ball and use it productively.
 
While watching the Vic Country vs SA match, Lachan Button has caught my eye. 196cm, 99kg very agile, would be a good pick up in the rookie draft. Also, Ben Reid has been playing on-ball - shows the versatility

we should have done what hawtorn is doing... invite any potentially good national draft miss outs to train with us and then pounce on them... please tell me we will find a real hard in and under midfielder ,that is super quick with sublime skills, to fill dawes spot on the list

plenty better than those Willy blokes in the rookie.
 
Hey boys looks like stkilda may go for mathew clarke from Adelaide for their first pick in the psd draft.Now's our chance to either snag,Bryan or keating and get jacobs inthe rookie draft maybe a midfielder or two.
 
in the only game i went to watch williamstown live last year scott meyer was a standout....he is a ruckman/chb probably just under 200cm but he dominated against chris bryan and dylan mclaren from carlton and relegated fred fanning to the bench and that was in the first qualifying final

I read where Brad Gotch really rates him.

yeah...if anyone from williamstown gets rookied it will be him as big men take longer to develop and he played in the VFL u/23s games in GF week the past 2 seasons, i cant see us drafting any of the smaller types who have gone undrafted
 
Not Rose for mine. Not big enough or good enough for AFL footy. I like him, but I also liked Maddee Lokan.

Meyer's definitely worth a shot. One of our rookies should definitely be a dinosaur height ruckman - it may as well be an existing Willy player if he's good enough.
Is Tristan Walker in the mix? Reports are that the club promised to rookie list him.

That would rule out Meyer at 196cm, no?

Apparently he declined the offer - Even he knows that he's finished.
 
Thought he was taller, beggars cant be choosers, maybe we put him in heels.
I don't have a problem with it - He should be able to compete with Jeff White, Troy Simmonds and Jamie Charman all go okay at the same height.

People wanted to pick up Clark Keating and he's 197cm and not athletic like Meyer.
 
If Pies take Bryan in PSD and people behind the scenes rate Meyer enough and they don't think any other club would pick him up they should go:

PSD - Bryan
Rookie #1 - Best remaining midfielder
Rookie #2 - Meyer

This would give us 4 ruckman, with others that can pinch hit (T.Cloke/Pebs). This should give us enough coverage.
 
Has to be best mid and ruck available

Best remaining mid is Chris Varsamakis of the Knights.

Fantastic player in the Burns/Licuria mould but 186 cms - powerful kick and OH mark and very long handballer.

Guy who is very close to senior standard and real thirst for the game - crash/bash type.

More talented by far than Rose - although I like him a lot just can't see enough upside in him.
