Draft Profile Stephen Coniglio

[dajesmac]

He's 16 so will he be available for the 2011 (GWS) or 2012 draft??

'93 draft year is 2011. The kids a month younger than me.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Garlett?

Yeah. Stopped growing, lacked the genuine pace and agility of others and isn't a small forward. Ended up an undersized Rover.

I've known his family for a very long time. By the sounds he'll pick footy. Be very surprised if he doesn't.

 

[BluesMan]

Watched the WAFL ganny, wow he was outstanding!! Going to be a gun, and I'm sure he'll pick footy.

 

[ajsuperstar]

is he as good as swallow

 

[JR SWALLOW]

is he as good as swallow

I would'nt think so,swallows arguably the best junior prospect to eva come through the draft.Has the lot huge hurt factor and equally good defensive side,no weaknesses.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

is he as good as swallow

Different. He's more electric and agile thats for sure.

Don't expect him to do lots of heavy lifting but he can chip in, break free and cut teams up with quality positioning, disposal and finishing skills.

 

[quin_stick]

Yeah, very level headed, wont do anything that could put his career at any risk.

Im pretty sure he'll pick footy, for the simple reason that IMO he's not even that good at cricket, well not good enough to cut it at international level (I clean bowled him in 15s, nuff said). He loves both sports so at the end of the day he should pick the one he'll be most successful, and that should be footy.

"At the moment I'm just focusing on cricket. That's my number one objective."

Thank God.

 

[Silvagnis]

Thank God.

Do you Coniglio to choose cricket?

One would want Coniglio in the draft like Murphy and Hurn in 2005 to pad out the first round.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

He's 16 and wan't to play Cricket this summer. It's not a big deal.

 

[dajesmac]

You're just mad because West Coast will finish last again and still won't get the number 1 pick..... again!

Er, no. I think he wants the Australian cricket team to not be shithouse anymore, how did that go over your head?

 

[chardonnay]

Wasnt in the top performers for WA in the cricket nationals U 19s.

A little birdie told me that Kevin Sheedy was in Perth last week to speak to him & his family.

Apparently GWS won't have host families, they are making a little 'village' of sorts for the players. Does that sound like a big leavers/schoolies type situation to anyone else....?

 

[Kram]

^^Perhaps they will get someone responsible to stay with the players to keep an eye on things.

Sounds like like a "residential college" type thing that basically every university has to me. Perfectly possible to live in that situation not have it turn into a 'schoolies' type environment the whole time

They're living at Breakfast Point on the Parramatta River, a couple of torps from their new home ground at the Showgrounds and 20 minutes from the City.

Nice place, the whole thing about guys not wanting to come to GWS because the place is a dump is a bit of a furphy to be honest.

like a talent agent???

I'm sure it is, however if you're condensing a whole load of guys who are under 20.. just saying.

 

[Raymann]

Check it out for yourself google 'breakfast point country club'

id be happy to live there!

 

[GiantForce]

Breakfast Point Country Club looks like a great place to live! Having a place like that is a fantastic asset to GWS
