Rookie Upgrades - Evans & Nicholson

[Ugle Dick]

I think you guys should be dropping guys like bate and jones - both are hacks who aren't taking you guys forward. Watts is starting to impress me these last few weeks, just needs that one big breakout, confidence making game imo.

Can't wait for the Queen's birthday clash - will be there for another pies win hopefully

Wouldn't drop Jones he's one of the guys that gives 110% every week, even though he turns it over heaps he shows more heart than the majority of the team. Bate is just a hack.

Jones is far from a hack. Bate is though.

I reckon Prenders has been sensational to be honest.

Hindsight will make any recruiting manager look like they missed a few - but since Prendergast has been at Melbourne I think he's done very well. The only one he'd really like again would have been Strauss at this stage - and he may still come good in any case.

The 08 draft we'll wait and see, but the one after...

Scully and Trengove picked themselves, but Gysberts and Tapscott look genius. Even Gawn @ 34 could end up being amazing.

He was dead keen on Dustin Martin as well so he knew his stuff. Taking Gysberts looks like it might be one of his best picks.

You're right we are still waiting on 08 given Blease hasnt played yet, but I am happy with Bail, Jetta and Bennell and Watts given where they were each picked. And taking Jurrah in the preseason draft was a great move too.

wasnt a great move. would have gone first round he he was allowed in the draft. wasnt like everyone passed on him

It was a good move to convince him to nominate for the PS draft though, where we had the first pick.

Fair to argue that he picked a bit of a cherry given Jurrah fell through to the pre-season draft after not nominating for the national draft.

But Jurrah was never going first round. And the logistical barriers that were against Jurrah meant some clubs wouldnt have taken the risk on him at all.

Had a great game three weeks ago (Casey had a bye two weeks ago), but got injured early last week. Looks promising.
