[Scorpus]

Formerly from Collingwood.

188cm mid/forward, played 26 games for 21 goals, 22 years old

 

[Gets!]

Really interesting rookie draft strategy this year, don't mind it!!

 

[Scorpus]

Personally I don't rate him at all from what I saw of him at Collingwood, bit of a surprise pick.

 

[croweater 41]

I'm of the opinion he will be a whipping boy if we see him at senior level.

 

[Pilchard_Adams]

Dont mind this as a selection. Was behind some serious midfield talent at the Pies

He's not AFL standard.

Be an OK SANFL player, he's essentially another Riley Knight.

Unless our aim was simply to strengthen the SANFL team for a year then this is a waste of a pick.

 

[Drummond]

We’re clearly going for depth. How exciting.

We're boosting the sleeve quota, indicating a change of mindset.

Everywhere I look it's Benny Crocker this Benny Crocker that

Happy with this pick, was getting games in that powerful Collingwood forward line but nudged out by some absolute guns. Look forward to him getting over here and giving it a real good crack

Absolutely amazes me how none of you are employed by AFL clubs as recruiters....

Yup. Both look like this, the players who got nudged. Hopefully a change of scenery gets them back on track as role players, with the at worse that it should help with SANFL.

Probably one too many but we'll see how this goes.

You still here? Oh that's right, only to complain and make some smart arse comment on something I said. Even cuter.

I genuinely thought you had disappeared forever.

Keays could provide something extra IMO.

Crocker is a SANFL pick, but we do need depth.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Holy s**t... we picked a bloke with tatts..

Yeah it's amazing how I don't have a job I don't want and haven't applied for

 

[Mego Red]

I like it. We have some youth projects, and now we have some 22 year olds who have shown a lot but without getting opportunity. Interesting rookie strategy.

You never have 43 guys on a list capable of playing AFL, that's why lists are so big.

The guy is 22 years old, not like he's a 29yo delisted player from an average club.

 

[crowsarethebest]

Seems like most clubs didn't rate what was left...lots of redrafting in the rookie draft

 

[jenny61_99]

Yeah it's amazing how I don't have a job I don't want and haven't applied for

But you are all so apparently eminently qualified and much more knowledgeable than those that, you know, have the actual job.

He bobs up every now and then to have a whinge.

I didn't say "I know better than Hamish, what a moron, this guy sucks"

I said that in my opinion I don't rate this player based on what I've seen. Or am I not allowed to share my opinion on an internet forum?
