Re: The 2009 crop, who will make it?
2009 Draft selections:
15 - Christian Howard : Like what i see, has the poise & skills to make it imo, plus to go through without a pre season, and end up playing quite a few senior Williamstown games speaks volumes in his first season, also spent some time on the long term injury list.
31 - Jason tutt : haven't seen as much of Tutt as i have with Howard, but even with his light frame, skills seem to be pretty good, i remember a kid called Gilbee that also looked very small when he first started, there is something there with Tutt.
63 - Lukas Markovic : a VFL standard big defender, don't see an upside there to take that next step.
76 - Shane Thorne : can't comment on his game, but if the attitude isn't that great, as suggested, as a mature pick, can't see much of a future there.
2009 Rookie selections:
19 - Brodie Moles : shows enough to be retained, not too sure he will be anything more than just a depth player.
35 - Andrew Hooper : love this kid, only small, but has that raging bull type of game style, intensity will never be an issue, really excited with Hoops.
48 - Matthew Panos : worth persisting with, has kicked the big bags in the 2's, and played a few senior games.
59 - Eddie Prato : haven't really seen enough of him to make a call.
68 - Patrick Rose : as a midfielder, no way known, as a small forward, i'm on the fence with Rose, would have loved to have seen him get a game or 2 in the NAB Cup.
Mulligan & Daniels - nope, Mulligan just doesn't look the part and Daniels lack of skills will hurt as an outside mid.
