Re: Rookie Draft

And what do our TAC cup watchers think of our being linked to Fletcher Roberts?

Re: Rookie Draft

We will pick up a tall with our pick tomorrow in the preseason draft, Fletcher Roberts looks like being that player.
In the rookie draft we will pick up a mixture of smalls and talls.

He had a poor run at the combine with his agility and his repeat sprint times in fact his testing overall was disappointing.
At 193cm he needs to make it as a key forward. He has a decent leap but he isn't an athlete.

He will need to work hard much like Matthew Panos has had to.

I believe we have a ruckman in our sights as well for one of the rookie spots.

Will be interesting to see if he is mature age or a younger player.

I think McCartney mentioned we will draft a cross section of ages.

If it's the guy I'm hearing about he's a younger guy who played in the VFL.

Re: Rookie Draft

Roberts would be close to the skinniest kid ever drafted - even skinnier than Ayce Cordy was!

Consolation Prize -by Emma Quayle

For those overlooked in last month's draft, tomorrows rookie and pre-season drafts offers a second chance. The Age's draft expert, Emma Quayle, highlights the likely prospects.


LAUCHLAN DALGLEISH
MYLES BOLGER
FLETCHER ROBERTS
SHANE NELSON
JAI SHEAHAN
ANDREW BOSELEY
SAM FROST
JACK CRISP

Quite a few players listed here who would all add something to our list IMO. I would really love to see us target Dalgleish as he does address our need for pace, and Nelson would be another option. Let's not forget the knocks on Dahlhaus that led to him ending up in the rookie draft (size, disposal and decision making).

Getting another key position player and a ruck would be a nice, I just hope we balance any such selections with a couple of running players.

Re: Rookie Draft

At a guess it will be Fletcher Roberts in the PSD and probably Jack Crisp if he is available for the first rookie listed spot.
I believe we have our eye on a young ruckman who played in the VFL last year.

I'd like us to have a look at Boseley but I don't think we will.

Not much difference between Roberts and Frost weight wise.
