Draft Results a Mixed Bag?

One of those guys would have been a nice addition I think. I thought getting a ruckman like Renton or Bellchambers would have been a good investment

and both of them are still available to be rookied? Obviously 16 clubs perceive some risk in them... and the rookie draft is the perfect forum to take a punt. Add Gaertner to the list and unless Carlton, Tiges or dees take all 3 of them with their first pick in the rookie draft, we can still pick one of them.

With 4th pick in the rookie draft that is a real possibility.

How many rookie selection are we going to have?

Re: Draft Results a Mixed Bag?

probably 4 borgy

Probably 3. The AFL requires each team to have a minimum of 4 rookies, we already have one (Gavin Hughes) so need to add atleast 3 more.

forgot about him. I'd say 3 is a certainty then.

I wish we had picked up Joel Shouha so he's to the rookie draft

The Roos redrafted Blake Grima. Todd played for the Geelongs VFL side

Re: Draft Results a Mixed Bag?

I think we need to draft a ruck and a tall KPP type (assuming there's one with potential available)in the PSD, if only to add development depth to each position on the list.

I was a bit bemused by our lower picks but I'll bow to Scotty for the time being. i thought we'd pick up another tall but time will tell I guess.

If Easton Wood is such a smoky, why did Clayton pick him at 43!? I hope that he chose him that early because he thought other teams rated him very highly as well, because if they didn't then it's a bit of a waste of a reasonably high draft pick. I doubt other clubs would have pounced on him before pick 48, or even 63. You just get the feeling that Clayton only picked Wood that early because he wanted to make a statement as to how highly he rated him. I might be wrong, and many clubs may have rated Wood highly, it's just interesting to see such a low profile player taken that early.

You are so very wrong!!

Below is a paragraph I posted about attending the draft:

From here on in there was an element of luck as the 2 or 3 players we had penciled in could go in those picks immediately prior to ours. Names mentioned earlier we would look at if available were Patrick Veszpremi, Cyril Rioli, Dawson Simpson, Sam Reid, Chris Mayne, Guy O'Keefe, Jarrod Boumann, Tony Armstrong & Easton Wood (who had come in for some late attention, particularly from Collingwood, who it was thought may have used their first selection, pick #31 on him).

We drafted Easton Wood with pick #43. Our next pick was pick #48. Who do you think had pick #47? Collingwood!!!

ok, sorry mate, I didn't read your post, glad that there was some reason behind drafting him that early and lets hope that Easton can really succeed at AFL level.
