List Mgmt. Welcome Fred Rodriguez (Pick 1, 2025 Rookie Draft)

[Carbine Chaos]

Takes a big part of the Banfield sting out of the equation for me.

Really happy with this pick. Welcome Freddo.

Must be the burst kind of speed because he sure as hell is not slow.

That's 3 draftees in the top 10 in the 2km plus Allen who obviously didn't run at the combine, but ran sub 6:00 for his Vic club time trial. (and we also tried to draft Addinsall, who also made this list). Maybe endurance and ability to run games out is a point of focus for the draft?

Minis game plan does require elite fitness think it was a plan to go for elite runners this draft

 

[Goroyals22]

Nickname ‘Chicken’ - who says no?

Ricky Nixon? Toot toot

 

[Quinten Kennedy]

Side note, his full name is Alfredo.

Side note?

Alfredo Rodríguez is hands down the best name in the AFL.

named after the Adam Simpson feature film?

 

[EdCurnowRules]

Cody Curtin, Banfield, Swaddling would all be on this list.

The best Freddy in WA now.

 

[TOA.]

Very happy. He is the exact type of midfielder we are desperate for - and probably need 2-3 more of. Hopefully he makes it.

Anyone know his 20m time?

Does anyone know his half marathon time? Can he swim?

Does he wear a hat?

 

[Spooky17]

I’m beyond happy he’s on our list. My favourite of our draft picks this year given the price paid.

Is it just me or is his facial structure kinda like Waterman's?

 

[Yeahnahmate]

I'm happy with Fred as well. Could've had both though, without any loss of current players.

Might have thought Banfield not worth a main list spot anyway and might have only weighed him up if he slid to rookie anyway. Still might have taken Fred ahead of him even in that scenario too dependent on ratings

 

[Farmer Lister]

Is he any good at bowling? Anyone have his scores?

 

[Altum Volantes]

Nah there is a look a Waterman - probably more Chris though than Jake or Alec.

His draft night picks immediately reminded me of Cam Green though.

 

[TY24]

Side note, his full name is Alfredo.

Nickname of Spaghetti is locked in then

 

[Altum Volantes]

Side note?

Alfredo Rodríguez is hands down the best name in the AFL.

"Bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia Rodriguez!'" - Duane Massey, this afternoon (most likely)

 

[beatlesmith]

Firstly, was it an interschool carnival or just a house faction carnival?

And secondly, what grading would you give his actual speed endurance stamina speed - B+?

Letter grading is very 2024. Now we compare traits to different animals.

I rate Fred’s athleticism an around a Hyena level, although I doubt he has the same bite force (one of the highest in the animal kingdom).

Interesting and informative.

The distributor to the outside run and gun
