Re: Rookie Draft

It should go something like this

Pre Season draft
1. GWS
2. Port Adelaide
3. Richmond
4. Fremantle
5. GWS
6. GWS
7. GWS
8. GWS
9. GWS

Rookie draft - which follows directly after the pre season draft.

1 GWS
2 Gold Coast
3 Port Adelaide
4. Brisbane
5 Adelaide
6 Melbourne
7 Richmond
8 Fremantle
9 Western Bulldogs
10 North Melbourne
11 Essendon
12 St Kilda
13 Sydney
14 Carlton
15 West Coast
16 Hawthorn
17 Collingwood
18 Geelong

We have picks 9, 27, 45, 63 and 81.

You can pick up players from anywhere (as long as they nominate) and those that were overlooked in the main draft.

Re: Rookie Draft

Interesting that we haven't invited anyone down to train with us prior to the rookie draft. 7 more clubs have applied to have players train with them.

I'd say that we either don't have anyone specific in mind, or we feel that we already know everything we need to know about the people we are targetting.

Re: Rookie Draft

Hopefully we go a ruck(probably Daniel Bass), another KPD(one of the Frost's preferable Jack) and the rest midfielders/flankers.

Have you dropped off Sam? I thought you wanted him at #17 of the ND

Yep, he's on the 'permission to train' list:

I would be happy to add either Frost to our list.

I wanted a KPD at 17, either Schade, McInnes, Talia or Frost(in that order). But I had to wait until 39, which I'm not fussed about as I'm excited to have Smith on our list.

Re: Rookie Draft

No point going for a ruck if they are ordinary prospects -- which apparently they are.

Dalgleish would be my first target.
