Me too
They probably will only take your view very lightly if you were to have one.

Considering he was touted all year as a top 25 pick,. last year as a top 5 pick,. and he is south Australian and played well in the carnival,. that should be enough to scream YES!,.. considering over 50% of rookies never play a game,. he HAS to be worth a gamble.. doesn't he?

A bigger deal out west.
I'd be ok with it, i'm not fussed either way though.

He's a massive chance to be gone before our first rookie selection I would've thought. On the off chance he's still there, I'd probably take him though. Regardless, I'd personally like any of Ronke, S Walker, Romensky, J Barrett or Sproule just as much as Jonty with our first rookie pick.

I'm down. Seems like a good prospect that got glossed over.
Well worth a shot as a rookie.

The Bombers listed Ronke as a Cat B Rookie does that give them 1st dibs? I'm keen on him too, big bodied mid with elite speed, ready to go day 1.

Anarchy for the AFC, it's coming sometime...
Only two players from Kevin Sheehans' Top 40 list missed out on last night's National Draft: Jonty Scharenberg & Zac Sproule.

Yeah there are still some good players left to pick
Why don't we pick up one of these blokes in the PSD? Don't understand why we were prepared to go in 2 short. Sure it's nice to be able to upgrade a rookie but there are other ways to do that.

Genuinely curious as to how Sproule and Scharenberg didn't get drafted. Considering where they were projected to go and what they had previously shown, I'm wondering if the talent scouts see 0 scope for improvement, no spot for them at AFL level or attitude issues...
Can someone please explain to me why so many clubs pass late in the draft when they have spots left on their list. Ogilvie said that we planned to only use 4 spots last night which would have left 2 spots. I just can't reconcile that with deciding against nominating Jarman because of our "talent order".

I don't know much about him, but, logically, there seems to be some overriding reason why he is not being selected, such as a worry about knees. This is not magically going to disappear because it is the rookie draft, so he may remain udrafted. Of course, if it is just that he was not high enough on all the talent lists, he may be.
I definitely would.
There'd be others I want more, though

My understanding was that we had 6 picks after the O,Brien upgrade. 7 out and 1 in which means that if we had only used 4 picks then we would have had 2 spots unfolded. The only reason I can think of is that clubs feel that upgrading rookies into those spots is better than taking a speculative late pick. Still confusing though as once you go to the rookie draft you are back to being fourteenth pick whereas at the end of the main draft you can take whoever you like.
For example we might miss Scharenberg now because we're behind Port but we could have taken him last night with pick 90 and definitely got him.
We have 1 vacancy now. Would've been 2 if we didn't make the 5th selection.
Yes.
Was a standout in the SANFL u/18 Grand Final. I love the way he played, big body and used it.
Him and Jarman would be a good result for our Rookie Draft.

Scharenberg is a yes for me. Feel like he would be an upgrade on M Crouch for that contested clearance role. I know M Crouch is flavour of the month with many but his disposal really worries me. By foot he is as bad as I've ever seen for a midfielder and it's become so important in modern footy. Anyway would be good to have Jonty just to ensure Thommo wasn't picked.
Fairly average player with few standout tools, but if none better then yes, by all means.
