Jayden Foster

If Carlton will take him after Zaine's selection, do we take him, risk it or expect to rookie him?

Re: Jayden Foster

Stick to our original plan, which was to not draft him.

If he makes it to the rookie draft and we want him there take him as a rookie. If Carlton rate him higher than us then they can have him.

Re: Jayden Foster

Carlton seem very keen on second rate talls at the moment.

Would rookie Foster, but not use 46.

Re: Jayden Foster

Don't want him at all. His endurance appears to be very ordinary, blew up in 2nd half of the TAC grand final. Doesn't have the strongest hands either, for a KPF.

Re: Jayden Foster

Shame though it may be, its nostalgia that is driving the Foster push. Trust Macca et al that they have done their homework.

Foster going to Carlton with 63. Done.

Re: Jayden Foster

We were foolish not to nominate him. I think we'll regret it...

It's hard to have faith on a night where we've drafted just one player above 6 foot..!

We could have nominated him as rookie selection couldn't we?

I'm like you Webby. I feel our selections were very short sited. No pun intended.

If we nominated him as a rookie selection, Carlton still had the opportunity to select him in the ND so nothing changes.

Your opinion and you are entitled to it, Foster is a wait and see, not convinced you can be so sure we will come to regret not taking him. Regarding your lack of faith in the lack of height drafted tonight, I believe that the trade period addressed some of your concerns with Boyd 199cms, Hamling 195cm, and Cordy 192cm joining the club. Tonight seemed to be about improving some glaring ground level weaknesses notably decision making and disposal efficiency which I am sure is a concern for most on here.

We've been undersized since the late 1970's. Constantly one or two talls short of a genuine flag shot, so forgive my frustration.

And during that time, I've seen a bloke called Peter Foster RULE our half back line for the best part of 8 or 9 seasons as a late bloomer. Then his son (a kid with a big frame and good hands who topped the TAC Cup goal kicking last season) not get nominated with a pick 70/something under the F/S rule... Forgive my disappointment on that one, too!

Particularly when we've got Dahlhaus, Hunter, Honeychurch and Hrovat already... I really do hope we rookie list some talls.. Foster would've been nice.... But we rolled the dice tonight and lost on that front. Disappointing.

Seriously!!!! The draft has been an overwhelming success for our club! CLASS! CLASS and more CLASS!! We have enough big blokes!!! In the centre bounce it will be a toss up weather Bonti , Macrae , or Minsen will go in the ruck!! Whoever it is will give it to a classy mid.......just watch Mclean , Jong , Hrovat or Daniels use their skills. Cannot wait till 2015
