Reckon Sinkunas rates a thought?
I do. Huge kick, tough as nails, good body size and shape but lacks true pace. Stephen Williams had an interview a couple of months back when the season finished and he was asked who he thought would be drafted and Sinkunas was the second name he mentioned after Harry Miller.
He came in and was named high in our best players in his 2nd and 3rd game which is a pretty good effort. Had he not done his Shoulder then I reckon his name would have been bandied around as a probably draft pick in all the phantom drafts.
Cam Ilett is another I wouldnt mind getting but he may not be around at pick 46.
I just hope when our recruiting staff say they are looking for AFL experience that they arent thinking Ross Funcke is a good option. If we draft him then I reckon ill move to Bolivia and stay there until he retires.
The only thing is, Scott Borlace is a very good SANFL footballer and the Power dumped him so Im not sure who they would be really looking at.
I guess the Power inviting Heath Hopwood out to training certainly gives the impression they are looking for an older player that could fit in right away.
These are some of the names of SANFL/ex AFL players I reckon the Power staff would have looked at, not neccesarily have ear marked as possible draftees but would have looked at none the less:
Chad Davis, Adam Grocke, Scott Hahn, Jade Sheedy, Brant Chambers, Andrew Whiteman, Brett Backwell, Paul Thomas, Quinton Graham, Adam Switala, Mark Bradley, Rod Tregenza, Michael Davis, Mark Passador.
Thats just a group of names. The one I'd personally like to see on our list out of that lot would be Adam Grocke. Its highly doubtful any of them would be drafted by us but they would have been looked at.
