Jack Frost should be added to our rookie list if still available come our pick.The curse is dead. -
Re: 2011 National Draft - State League Footballers
Can I ask what exactly makes you rate him so much? (Serious question, not being a dick). Would've thought Hartigan from Werribee would be a better prospect, showed very good form at the tail end of last year, and seemed to really be able to find the footy, and use it acceptably too.- I'm a visionary - Only here to confirm my biases -Comment

Re: 2011 National Draft - State League Footballers
I know very little in the way of mature aged prospects, but I'll have a go.
Brad Mangan (Weribee)
Height: 190cm Weight: 95kg Age: 20
Tall defender/forward
He kept Fevola and Mitch Hahn goalless in the two finals. Mitch Hahn barely had an impact which is unbelievable considering Williamstown beat Werribee by nearly 100 points. He can play a bit like Dale Morris in a lock down defender role. He looks to have good hands and gets back to help his other defenders. Reads the play very well. His skills are good also. Looks very quick off the mark and can run all day. He played up forward a fair bit as a junior also and he reminded me a bit like Hahn. Not overly pretty, but he's very aggressive and leads fairly well. He's more of a rookie pick though, but he could be a late draft pick.
Sam Dwyer (Port Melbourne)
Height: 179cm Weight: 77kg Age: 25
Midfielder
Sam is a classy midfielder that uses the ball really well and makes the good decisions. I He has good pace, agility and endurance. He wins a lot of the ball and really provides the class for Port’s midfield. Late chance, but I think he's also more of a rookie chance.
Willie Wheeler (Coburg)
Height: 177cm Weight: 75kg Age: 19
Midfielder
Willie is a player I thought would get rookied last year, but I've heard he's had a terrific year for Coburg this year. He has very good pace of the mark and wins plenty of the ball. His skills are good and is a goal kicker. He's elite around the stoppages and shows good desperation in his tackling efforts. There has to be a question mark over his strength which is why I think he didn't get picked up last year. He's shown he can play well against mature bodies though. Again he's a late chance, but probably more of a rookie chance.
Ben Duscher is one I've heard a bit about as well. Midfielder with a good kick and has some speed. He's improved every year and plays well in the big games.Comment

Cameron Shenton from Norwood is another player I forgot. Medium forward with a bit of X factor.
Matt Suckling an inside mid from Norwood. Good at the clearences and uses it well
Lee Spurr a bit of a utility. Has been playing in the back line this year. Provides a bit of run and dash.Comment

Re: 2011 National Draft - State League Footballers
I saw him play a couple of games last year and he looked alright to me(not that I'm claiming to be an expert). I think he would be a perfect candidate for our rookie list.
I hope we having a think about Hartigan and Mangan too.The curse is dead.Comment
