[ImperialPurple]

28. Andrew Foster - East Fremantle




8 WA boys in the first 2 rounds. Big year for WA junior footy this year.

 

[rgauci]

Who is Andrew Foster? gee no-one we've expected so far.

 

[rgauci]

Welcome Rumble. I hope Dean Kelly next.

 

[ImperialPurple]

2 spots left - three players have been training with us... at least one is going to be disappointed...

 

[ImperialPurple]

Welcome Rumble. I hope Dean Kelly next.

[pinkus maximus]

guys as a brisbane lions fan just want to say i'm a bit disappointed you got smith befor we could but congrats. I see you's don't know alot about him. kicked 13 goals in the national champs as a medium forward but his main game is a running midfield, plays wing in QAFL for mt. gravatt. quick and good skills, carries the ball through the lines.

yep. Pick 52 is Benet Copping.



Bad luck to Dean Kelly. Missed out completely...

Excellent - thanks.

A 185cm, fast, skilful midfielder.


But I do have a question - why wouldn't Brisbane have taken him with one of their three zone selections?

QLD boys have the choice of accepting a zone selection befor the draft or taking there chances

I see...

So the assumption is either (i) the Lions didn't want him, or (ii) he didn't want the Lions.

Hopefully (for our sake) it's the latter. Thanks for your info - appreciate it.
