He is obviously below Ben Davis on our talent list, so whether he is taken in the RD depends on the ordering in the remainder of our talent list. So, whether we "should" take him is irrelevant: the list will control all.

Why did you suggest "not sure he has the mentality for professional sport" then if there was nothing to backup the comment ?

So why is it that this kid was ranked so highly last year that people were talking about us being lucky if we got him with a first because he would have slid has become someone that people are genuinely not fussed if we don't rookie?
It's like port in January vs port in July

Makes sense to me and answers the question perfectly
Just on his name alone
So its Ben then?
WTF? Ben will be selected with our last pick in the RD. Won't be going on the senior list, unless the AFL change the list rules and merge the senior & rookie lists (as has been speculated).
To be clear - we have 1 vacancy remaining on our senior list. We have the option of filling that vacancy via the PSD, on Monday afternoon - the chances of that happening are somewhere between zero and non-existent. We will then take Jarman as a F/S in the RD, which follows immediately after the PSD - Jarman will be going onto our rookie list (not the senior list).

What worries me is that, although touted as a top 25 pick, all 18 teams passed on him. Has to be something we don't know about.
Ill back our recruiters in. This reminds me of battersby. Highly rated but not drafted. We stuck to our list and picked cameron first in the rookie draft.
We ended up with battersby but he was a bust. If there's a Cameron there that our recruiters rate higher, take him.

Looking at all but Gallucci the other guys we picked all look to have a mountain of upside in future development, Jonty not so much, if I had to guess I'd say clubs just can't see too much more improvement in him. All the other mids we picked also aren't only pure mids and have other strings to their bow, Jonty not so much, he projects purely as an inside mid. I have not even heard a whisper about your "something we don't know about" and as an AFL Academy kid he certainly can't have any "character" issues. The only thing I've heard by way of a knock is some clubs worry if the knee problems his brother Matty's had could be hereditary, Jonty himself has said clubs have mentioned it when putting him through rigorous medical testing even though he's never had any issues with it.
Personally I'd give him a crack as a rookie most certainly.
You would think he would be given a crack, if not at the crows another club. Maybe Collingwood.

Collingwood won't grab him, they can't afford another player with poor skills on their list.

It's only his kicking that has some ?? the rest of his skill set is fine.
