I just wanted to know everybody's thoughts on the players that we picked up in last years National Draft. Do you think we went for the right types of players, eg; josh hill?

After Everitt we went for quick athletic types in Stack, Hill and Lynch and then followed it up with selection of a developing athletic tall in O'Shea. The rookie draft also had Hughes, Harbrow and Pask.
Overall I think we were too focused on pace and would have preferred one more additional tall but time will tell if unearthed a couple of start players from the 2006 crop.

I'm still quite excited about what they could potentially offer us from next year onwards and look forward to watching them develop.
Yep - a ruck prospect would have been nice but its encouraging how much VFL senior footy some of the lightly built guys were able to play
Everitt, Lynch and Harbrow have the raw ability to break games apart if they work hard to improve. Hill did enough to debut at senior level, Stack looks a star in the making to me, whilst OShea could be the diamond in the rough full back.
Can O'shea play as a full back? what is his preferred position?
What type of player is brennan stack?
It's a bit hard to put O'Shea down as a FB at the moment but he does have a bit of size and physical play that could make him a monty for a position like that in the next few seasons.
Stack is a jumping jack and a nice mover. Needs to develop a defensive side to his game.

That was last year too Scooter, good pick up. Lots of rucks went early. My man Sam Jacobs was picked up early in the rookie draft too, where I had hoped we'd pick him up.
The thing to remember about O'Shea is he was the second youngest to be taken in the draft. Only Ben Reid was youngeer.
It was made very clear that his selection was a project pick. To be frank I'm impressed he made it into the Werribee Seniors as quickly as he did. I wouldn't have been all that dissapointed if he'd been in the Werribee 2's for most of the year.
Late pick, bottom aged, good KP prospect, bit of size and athleticism about him, who does that sound like?
