Draft Talk....

Re: Draft Talk....

Mike's brainwashed me by telling me over and over how good this kid is.

195cm athletic forward who played 1 or 2 games in the backline and a few in the ruck.

Played the last 3 games in the Peel seniors on a wing. The maximum number of B & F votes Peel give for any one player in one game is 18. In the last two rounds Black got 35 votes.

Ok. But what are his strengthes

Last time we got brainwashed by Mike was when he kept telling us to pick up this skinny kid from the Western Jets who went ok a couple of years back..... What a terrible decision that was.

Is there any chance of us drafting Groenewegon's kid?

He's struggled this year with injury but the club would know him his talents very well. Possible draft pick

Re: Draft Talk....

Would miss him under father / son rule with 79 games.

Re: Draft Talk....

btw On a seperate topic, which has been previously discussed, the AFL Commission ruled this week that rookie listed players may now be retained for 3 years, up from the current/previous 2 years.

Do not get me started on that rule change. We were stitched up like a kipper. I am normally a fairly solid supporter of this AFL administration but changing the rule from 50 to 100 games affected our club more than any other. With Reid's dad and a few others dads falling between the 50-100 game we were ripped off badly!

Re: Draft Talk....

i think carlton might think otherwise they missed out on lloyd through fs because of 100 game rule

Not by the 50 to 100 game change.

John Lloyd only played 29 games for Carlton.


Only 1 player in history got taken under f/s where the father played less than 50 games and that was Mark Pitura to Richmond. Nothing less than out-and-out corruption.

John Lloyd captain coached Braybrook to three premierships following his time at Carlton.

And as a sideline for those not aware was the home of Ted Whitten (5 x FFC BF), Doug Hawkins (1 x FFC BF), George Bisset, (1 x FFC BF), Ray Walker (1 x FFC BF), Brian Wilson (Brownlow but not with us), Wally Donald (1 x FFC BF), Robert Groenwegen, Gary Merrington, Ivan Marsh, Johnny Craddock (Captained Footscray to 3 premierships in VFA). 9 Bulldog B&Fs out of this with 4 of these making the Bulldog Team of the Century.

Including the Captain & Vice Captain of that team.

Last I had heard Braybrook had produced 33 league players. Those I know of currently are Heath Scotland and Albert Proud although it would seem Albert is hanging in there now by a thread.
