    Rookie draft - who's training with us?

    Anyone know who the unlisted young players are who are currently training with us?

    Anyone got any idea whether any of them will get rookied by us next Tuesday?

    I assume Clayton may have an interstate smokie up his sleeve.

    All I've heard is there are a few Willy boys training with us including;

    Cameron Lockwood
    Scott Meyer
    Pat Rose
    Liam Picken

    and that Latrobe boy Ryan Williams.

    My guess is we'll go for a ruckman, Rose and Williams.

    Does the order we select these player play any part or is the expectation that other clubs are very unlikely to grab them anyway?

    He has been talked about for a while but never even made it to a rookie list before so I agree its doubtful that we would select him.
    By the way I heard that the Dogs have invited a midfielder from Tassie to come and train with us.

    Was it Gaertner or someone who the papers thought would go 2nd or 3rd round. I think we should get him and Joel Shouha+whoever else (someone tough).
    We would have key forward(Gaertner)
    Ruckman (Smouha)
    Pacey mid/forward (Hughes)
    and a tough midfielder.

    I would be happy wih that

    I wonder if Clayton has eye on a smokey not training with us like Harbrow last season?

    Gaertner is not eligible for the rookie draft.

    Re: Rookie draft - who's training with us?

    It will be very interesting to see the list fully take shape - there is no doubt our expanded capacity to list rookies, and hopefully improved development capabilities gives us opportunities to select prospect talls, ruckmen etc.

    Will we do that?

    From reports he is a pure FF and may lack the flexibility to play in multiple position's which is almost a pre-requisite these days. He is also quite well developed body wise so may have had an advantage in strength in the U/18 comp, but probably wont enjoy same the same luxury in the AFL.
