Yep, but as Moses said, Clayton thought he would last until our next pick (pick 17, Cam Faulkner).

The way we expected it to fall was Salopek at 3, we would take Brennan at 4, Port would take Schammer at 6, Geelong would take Walsh at 7, Freo would take Faulkner at 13 and we would take Mackie at 17.Brisbane stuffed everything up by taking Brennan rather than Salopek.

Thats something i didn't need to know

Its very old news. There is a story in every draft.

Can you tell us anything about him...

Where he played, who he played on and did he beat him, how he looked, any obvious strengthes or weaknesses from obviously a limited time?

Cheers.

He was playing at CHF, on Jason Cloke I believe, who he beat on the day. Was really good on the lead, and looked to be a good mark. The big question on that particular day was his kicking for goal. I can't remember the exact total, but I think he kicked something like 1.3 or 2.3, or something to that effect.

That was all I saw of him, so I don't know enough to say how he was when the ball went to ground, or defensive workrates or anything like that. But he definitely has something to him.

Billy Morrison wasn't in the Salopek / Brennan Draft, but the 2003, where we took Farren Ray at 4, Billy Morrison slipped to Collingwoods first pick.

Then there's every chance that we could have taken Morrison at 4 then because I know bugger all about what we were thinking in 2003.

Re: PSD and Recycables.

I remember the year Tenace got drafted, i knew a bloke who worked for the Jets & he would rave on about this kid. He said if he had the number 1 pick he would pick Tenace. The kid has been very disappointing and after hearing all the hype was surprised he didn't become a good AFL footballer.

Just makes me think, is there anyone that wants to admit has seen a kid in the under 18's & thought this kid is a gun & hasn't made it? and vice versa.

I put my hand up being a big fan of Tenace at the time, i would have taken him before Farren Ray, then i also wanted Fergus Watts before Ray, and he didn't last too long.

Very good with mid size and smaller players - certainly not flash with talls. In 2003, Clayton was seriously toying with pick 4 for Billy Morrison, I kid you not.

Mate from work still talks about how shocking Morrison was! Blimey that 2003 draft was weak

Obviously this bloke looked the other way when Tenace disposed of the football.Wasn't the great kepler Bradley in that draft?

Clayton may have rated Morrison but there was never any intention to draft him with pick 4.

If Brisbane had drafted Steve Salopek like everyone thiught they would, we would have taken Jarod Brennan.

Morrison was the year after in 2003 - he impressed Clayton so much during the inverview process at draft camp that he was toying with the idea of selecting him instead of Ray at pick 4.

The 2002 scenario was a real shame. Instead of Brennan and Mackie, we ended up with Walsh and Faulkner. Drafting is a game of inches at times.

Wojo is an average footballer. Geelong have been a very good side, but their 18-22nd man is no better than anyone elses. They've lacked pace for a few years which is the only reason they play him from time to time. Reality is, he rarely does anything on the field against decent sides. For all his pace/carrying of the football, he doesn't get nearly enough of the ball and turns it over too much.

Callan was hardly an integral part of our finals side. He did OK against Brisbane but made a couple of blunders. Against Geelong, he was very poor. Timmy's attitude is great but outside of 2-3 games he hasn't offered much. He didn't cost anything, though.

People underrate the ability for good sides to cover over ordinary footballers. If these players were good enough to be playing, they would be. They're fringe players - play a solid game from time to time. They are no different to most other sides depth players. Difference is, they're surrounded by stars. The fact that they still struggle perhaps says something.

This makes so much sense it restores my faith in humanity.

Oh, and to change my mind to agree with you (although I do think you've done Timmy a slight disservice).

You would think he is next to no chance, may even be stamped un-draftable. Delisted after only one year, it would be a brave club that picked him up.

The paper this morning indicated Adelaide may look to rookie list Tom Lee.

Aaron Kite is another one of their de-listings that may attract some interest. He's built in the utility mould, and has spent the past couple of seasons at Norwood, spending his time between the seniors and the reserves.
Can play back and forward, and did kick a couple of bags of goals at reserves level, and kicked a bag of 4 in the seniors towards the end of the season.

Re: PSD and Recycables.

Doubt we'll even take part. Correct me if I'm wrong here but we only have 2 Picks in the Draft so far. We've taken 4 from our list at this stage, Welsh, Skipper, O'Shea and Wight. We traded Hall in and will elevate Picken. So that leaves us only 2 spots #15 and #31. I doubt we'll pass on #31 to have a selection in the PSD.

When is the final date for delsitings?

We will either delist Eagleton or move him to the veterans list, either way, it frees up a spot.

Important off season dates

Of course, forgot about Eagle.
