Bulldogs offer rookie Brodie Moles a just reward

Re: Bulldogs offer rookie Brodie Moles a just reward

Just curious, has any club had as much success as we have with Rookies? Morris, Harbrow, Boyd, now Moles

Rookie list has been great for a number of clubs.

Here is a team and a whole bunch of others;

All-time Rookie Draft Team

B: Nathan Bassett 210 games Mal Michael 238 games Ben Rutten 126 games

HB: Tarkyn Lockyear 216 games Nathan Bock 100 games Nick Maxwell 118 games

C: James McDonald (VC) 235 games Brett Kirk (C) 217 games Danyle Pearce 93 games

HF: Aaron Davey 119 games Quentin Lynch 150 games Max Rooke 134 games

F: Jason Porplyzia 68 games Russell Robertson 228 games Stephen Milne 188 games

Ruck: Dean Cox 180 games Matthew Boyd 140 games Brad Sewell 104 games

Bench: Aaron Sandilands 135 games Chad Fletcher 179 games Matthew Bishop 150 games Tadhg Kennelly158 games

The unlucky ones: Dean Brogan, Darren Jolly, Michael Osborne, Michael Firrito, Josh Drummond, Nathan Foley, Matt Priddis, Clinton Young, Mark Johnson, Dale Morris, Andrew Carrazzo, Bret Thornton, Nathan Carroll, Michael Doughty, Shannon Byrnes, Damien Peverill, Nathan Lovett-Murray, Andrew Lovett, Robert Copeland, Joel Patfull, Stephen Gilham, Robert Campbell

Certainly has a history of finding key backmen and ruckmen but not as successful in finding key forwards.

Wow, that's impressive... never realised some of those blokes were off rookie lists.

Re: Bulldogs offer rookie Brodie Moles a just reward

I threw Moles in my Dreamteam after the first game and continue to be impressed.

My only concern is what happens when the player that is on the Long term injury list (Howard?) recovers? Does that mean he goes back on the rookie list because we have no space?

Unless someone else is injured long term, he goes back to the rookie list.

I think there's a rule about a certain time where we can promote a rookie to the senior list regardless of injury.

TCD, can you help me on this one?

One of the first thoughts that came to my mind

Jeez that's a funny movie... hadn't seen it in a while, thanks for the clip!

On the "Mole" theme, anyone remember John Candy in "Uncle Buck"? - (Skip to about the two minute mark for the best bit!)

I believe it's round 11, but TCD will no doubt be able to confirm. A similar thing happened with Picken last year.

In that "Greatest team of Rookies" I'd have Morris in ahead of Maxwell. Not being biased, Morris is just a better footballer.

Well done son-of Dimma.

From the first game i saw him i thought he reminded me of Dimma.

If Hahn and Ward play first round as the papers tend to suggest then it looks to be out of Everitt & Moles for that last spot.

Would like to have Brodie in the dreamteam just not sure how long he will last if he does get a go.

Terrific post!

Bold bit is interesting - forwards and midfielders tend to get the most attention/most valued by recruiters and coaches.

Met him tonight at the season launch and congratulated him on his elevation. He says it's all speculation and he's not sure about round one, but aims to make the most of any opportunity he gets.

A very personable and committed young man.

Cal has a 4 week injury and unfortunately wont be there for Round 1.

There's been nothing on the AFL website to officially annoucne this - they announced 7 rookie elevations earlier this week, but Moles name was not amongst them.

I'm the source The injury was sustained on Cal's delivery into the forward line in the same piece of play that ended in Mitch's injury.

That's a shame. I thought he was in the clear with reports that a scan showed no serious damage - is it a one off type injury or something more nefarious (OP)?

So we'll definitely be without Ward, Johnno, and Eagle for Round 1, with Hahn also looking unlikely.

Provides a good opportunity for the guys on the fringe to put their hand up.

Well hopefully is a one off injury and does not appear related to OP. Not a serious injury.
