We have previously had a thread this time of year for bargain basement recruiting. Looking for who might be a good fit for us that will come cheap from another club, has been delisted or is a state league player. I'll get the ball rolling. In no particular order
Josh Willams
Discarded by lol Norf this year. He is a 190cm attacking speed machine taken in the 2016 National draft with a pick in the 30's from memory. Not sure what happened at Norf but he did suffer a bit from injury. He may not have suited Brad Scott's wannabee tough guy approach. We were keen on both he and Cedric Cox in that draft to improve our speed around the ground. Played a couple of AFL games. Could be worth a rookie spot?
Mitch Hibberd
22yo 190cm half back/winger type also from lol Norf. Highly regarded in his draft year of 2015. Another let go by the Kangas. He was quite a smart footballer in the u/18's as a top age player. Injuries have been an issue for him. Played a few AFL games. Another rookie possibility?
Jess Glass McCasker
21yo 195cm key defender from Carlton. Was taken with the Blues 1st pick in the 2016 rookie draft. I saw him keep Schache almost kickless in a state u/18 game for WA just after he had kicked a bag the previous game. Same draft as Kieren Collins but I though JGM was a better proposition as he was faster, taller, more athletic and could link up running out of defence. Yet to debut
