Player Watch Tom Doedee - Departed for Brisbane, End of 1st Round FA Compensation

[Cap]

Are you saying Dangerfield was a win?

yes. every day of the week

 

[Cleric]

So this guy is another Dangerfield?.......

For sure. We had him in the top 3 in the draft. Could not believe he was still there.

 

[jackster83]

If we really wanted Himmelberg, why didn't we bid on Kennedy with our first pick (to make them cough up more)?

 

[rezagun]

We shouldve gone with bonner if we wanted another medium def/ mid

That's a fair point tbh.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Hey Skippos, what have you seen of Doedee? Could he move into the midfield? right now he sounds like a slightly better version of cheney?

 

[JPetro83]

Anyone found any highlights?

 

[Mike Smyth]

Geelong falcons, disposal needs work, hbf and basketballer. I'm amazed he slipped to us.

Props to the poster that mentioned The Dude.

 

[Pugsley]

lol sen couldn't believe it.

Hopefully he turns out to be an inspired pick, and he ******* stays!

Rory Atkins goes alright for pick 81.

 

[Buzzasto DaSilva]

Skippos had Doedee ranked #82 in this year's draft

Knightmare at #40

I'd back in the professionals over these guys.

 

[BunjiMac]

I think we are trying to be too smart here

 

[Cleric]

We shouldve gone with bonner if we wanted another medium def/ mid

Or we shouldnt have traded in two of them during trade week.

 

[pjcrows]

Good luck Tom.

But I tell you what... we've drafted Wigg and Doedee as important half backs in the last two years. One of them had better play 100 games.

 

[JPetro83]

By the way Doodee has a Mrs from Bendigo Mardi MK I I

Anyone found any highlights?

The dude doesn't need highlights Donny!

Geelong Falcons talent manager Michael Turner said Doedee had “big upside”.

"Tom's a new talent. He did a preseason with us last year, but wanted to concentrate on his basketball,” Turner said.

“He was a point guard and hoping to get a scholarship in America, but that didn't work out so he came back to us. He couldn't do much training before Christmas because of injury and he carried a bit of a shoulder through the year, but the clubs look at him and think 'new talent, basketball background, big upside.'

“He's a very disciplined kid and he played really well for us at the start and end of the year in particular. When he wasn't injured he did really well for Vic Country as well. At the moment he needs to improve the attacking side of his game, but he's a very good one on one defender, he keeps his feet, stays in the contest, defends really well and has kept some really good players quiet.

“He's not often beaten in a one on one contest."

Had him stitched up 18 months out.

Would actually make them more likely to match - giving up worse picks for Himmelberg

 

[marty36]

1st round draft pick and we pick someone predicted to go as a 3 rounder in a draft where there was supposed to be no talent past pick 20

Yeah that makes sense

 

[Nige_Bix]

Really hoped we would go Burton - a tad shocked - but as its our last pick the club must have put a lot of thought into it and have their reasons - but - club - "please explain!"

 

[Cleric]

Oh well I guess at least Hamish didnt pick another rubbish Tasmanian.

 

[StonesThrow]

I can't believe the amount of doubt in our recruiters?? They have proven results, especially with 1st round picks.

Welcome Tom. Highlights looks like a classy player.

For Gods sake AFC, get Rendell back ASAP.
