Hopefully one of them will hang in there until our turn.

He goes by how good a footballer one is. It doesn't neccesarily mean than they will go top 10. Clubs will pick to adress their needs.

BTW, who was in his top 10??????

That's true Stiffy.

Our other big hope is that usually there's a couple of real smokies in the top 10 which pushes the list down a bit.

West Coast prefer to draft local lads so let's hope there's someting in the WAFL that they like in the first round.

Mate if Fergus Watts was available with our 1st pick and we don't select him I am sending a bloody missile to AFC. He is a FANTASTIC pack mark and is a goal kicker. I seriously think he will go top 10 most likely to Kangaroos @ pick 9.

Maybe Matthew Moody or Callum Burges :)


and speaking of smokies, I am really interested to see who (if anyone) picks up this Rowan Bonson kid from NT. Accoding to some newspapers earlier in the year one of the Adelaide club might be "hiding" him.

Saw the interview with him tonight...

Anyone else notice he was wearing a FILA Adelaide Crows jacket? Who was the **** that made that decision? Our friends at Russell Athletic would've been pleased :rolleyes:

ROFL!!!!! :D

Russell Athletics won't be happy.

Some of the boys still wear the Fila footy boots. Don't think Russell Athletic will be that happy either, but then again, I don't even know if they make shoes.

You can negotiate your own boot contract... Andrew McLeod with Adidas... Wayne Carey with Nike etc...

As far as official team kit goes - guernseys, shorts, socks, jackets, shirts, etc - it has to be Russell Athletic.

Isnt half our fringe players wingmen?:confused:

Oh and Welcome Scott Stevens...Hopefully you produce the goods. Still would've preferred to have gained a ruckman BUT if he can kick goals :D:D:D

LOL - I know!

I will reserve my judgement on the New Stevo until I see him for myself!!!

However rugged is good...........see Roo.

The more I think about it the more I like the addition of Scott Stevens. He is a 194 cm / 88 kg KPP who can play at both ends of the ground and has played 25 games. How many times this year did we have Perrie as our only tall in the forward line?????

With addition of Stevens it would give us 2 tall targets and subsequently more deoth in the KP department. It would also allow us to match up better in defence. Overall the addition of Stevens to our squad gives us more flexibility and besides he will only be 22 at the start of next season. Still young and hopefully a bloke that can give us good 8-10 years of very good service.

I never really disliked the idea of getting him but initiallly I did dislike what we gave up for him.

You would have seen more of him than I did. Do you see him becoming a VERY good AFL player??????

You pretty much picked him up for pick #45 so it's not a bad deal. He's reasonably talented, but a bit light and lacks experience. I think he will become a useful tall option for you at either end of the ground but I suspect his main position will be in the backline.

Like I said on the first page. He's a handy marking tall, who has looked impressive on some ocassions. His career scoring total is 17.8; which suggests he's a decent kick as well.

I don't know if he'll become a star, a handy contributor or a dud. But I think he's shown that he has potential and is more than worth what we gave up for him.

That's the real crux of it. Whatever he turns out to be, pick 45 in the draft is genuine gambling territory as to whether the selection will even get close to playing 1 AFL game , let alone play useful games at that level.

Stevens has already done both of those, which puts him way in front of the average pick 45 for a start.

Well done by the AFC.
 
I am really p|ssed off that we didn't get a ruckman in the trading period. Being stuck with Ben Marsh for another year is WRONG. Hell Matthew Allen would have been 1 000 000 times better.
