Jayden Foster

Re: Jayden Foster

Have a bad feeling about Foster. He is improving all the time and entering an AFL environment his improvement will continue even quicker.

We stuffed up and I feel for Peter who was one of my faves. Mick loved him thats why they took him. Jack has had opportunities and he should have made way in my mind. I'm not taking any notice of TAC leading goalkicker I got burned with Mckinley I just have a bad feeling thats all.

How many f/s have we over looked and they have been picked up elsewhere.

Redpath went from defender to leading goalkicker in the VFL in a season

Where is his spot in the AFL? At Footscray he might play forward, in the firsts I can't see it.I watched him down in Geelong against the Saints, was a mile off it.

Ironic a Forward has to be the first. Wow we will look the fool if we have stuffed this up. He was worth a punt considering the ones we have punted on before. Good luck to him hopefully he has a career and makes it, hopefully he comes home when we are good.

Yeah he is but he's showing as much rapid improvement as Foster has

Re: Jayden Foster

I'm disappointed to miss out on Foster. I used to see him at games when he was a kid with his dad and it would have been great to see him running around in the old jumper. I would have liked someone from the recruiting department to sit down and watch a few of Peters games from around the time he showed rapid improvement before they made the call in order to see just how the kid could improve because Jayden is very similar to his old man and I have a strong feeling he will improve at a similar age.

Anyway now that I have that off my chest I'm still very happy with the guys we have drafted. They are all capable of filling holes on our list. And we have plenty of developing talls.

Hopefully it will be a case of us winning flags with plenty of talls and watching Jayden have a fine career at Carlton.

I disagree, he was 21 when taken and has had three years on the list. The Bombers had already seen enough and he has already done two knees. I've got nothing against the bloke personally and definitely hope he proves me wrong but to give him a spot over a Favorite Son and a big forward at that for me its a mistake how big is the only worry. Even if he didn't work out as a forward he could've took his dads old position.

We gambled when we shouldn't have played a hand.

Re: Jayden Foster

In the end we're probably arguing over whether we kept Trent Bartlett over drafting Adam Morgan.

Re: Jayden Foster

For goodness sake how on earth have we " stuffed up"
It will only be viewed that way if Foster has a great AFL career.
Just have a look at the leading goal kickers in past years.
Don't see a plugger or Dunstall amongst that lot.

If we had of put a bid in we would have been giving up an earlier pick.
Just remember young Foster went with a pick in the 60's, so I take quite a few clubs didn't rate him.

Re: Jayden Foster

Mick loved him thats why they took him.

With their last pick in the draft.

Re: Jayden Foster

With their last pick in the draft.

And with a mature player strategy. Pick 7 for Jaksch (20), Whiley (21) & Pick 19 (Boekhorst, 21)

Re: Jayden Foster

If his last name wasnt Foster would anyone care?

Re: Jayden Foster

I get your point, and the conversation is a delayed reaction in truth. We time for us to act was the bidding process a month ago. We knew at a club level Carlton were interested and opted not to bid. It is because his surname is Foster and we could have used pick 80 to secure him. I think he was worth that, the club didn't. That speaks volumes that we knew pick 80 was the likely asking price and we said no. I like him as a project, but the club didn't. Neither did other clubs bleeding for a key forward. It's moot now.
