we have one pick remaining for PSD, good tactic. who remains...am I right Temill wasnt selected or the morrish medal winner...thorp could now come into calcs
-
You're right about the Morrish medal winner bojangles. The 2009 winner hasn't been drafted
I get the feeling that Thorpe is the one re-cycle we'd look at
-
Camboon mentioned to me that Grimes (brother of Jack) was surprising not chosen so he could come into consideration.
-
Panos, Temel & Thorp - Train.
what happened to that Jason K????????? from Southport? Rookie?

Dare, Grimes head players unlucky to miss out
By Matt Burgan 9:35 PM Thu 26 November, 2009
GEELONG Falcon Joe Dare and Northern Knight Dylan Grimes will be among the leading contenders in the NAB AFL Pre-Season/Rookie Drafts, after they were surprisingly overlooked in Thursday night's NAB AFL Draft.
Dare and Grimes, both defenders, were expected to be claimed in the top 50 at worst, but some shock early selections forced clubs to change tack.
The pair is nevertheless expected to begin training with an AFL club reasonably quickly, with sides now turning their attentions to the December drafts, when 60-plus players will find their way onto AFL lists.
Northern Territorian Liam Patrick (the cousin of Melbourne's Liam Jurrah) was also overlooked, despite bolting into contention after some exciting performances with Wanderers in the NTFL.
An 185cm tall with an outstanding vertical leap. Patrick has been playing ruck despite his lack of height and appears a likely target for several clubs in the upcoming drafts.
Sudanese-born Majak Daw, a 194cm tall athlete with Nic Naitanui-like qualities, was another to miss out on Thursday, with North Melbourne understood to have been interested.
Many clubs view Daw as a classic rookie - with raw, natural talent which needs to be nurtured in the AFL system.
From South Australia, key forward Matthew Panos, Derick Wanganeen (the cousin of 1993 Brownlow Medallist Gavin) and ruckman Jack Hannath were unlucky to miss.
Panos had an outstanding NAB AFL under-18 championship - he was All-Australian - and is sure to come under notice as a rookie.
VFL stars Michael Barlow (Werribee) and Sam Iles (ex-Collingwood) are also near-certain future rookies.
Also likely to attract interest from Victoria are Mitch Fisher (Geelong Falcons), Josh Donaldson (West Perth), Jack Weston (Gippsland Power), Serhat Temel (Calder Cannons), Andrew Hooper (North Ballarat Rebels) and Josh Dyson (Eastern Ranges).
New rules allowing clubs to add at least two players older than 23 years old open the door for some experienced hands.
In theory, players such as former Demon Russell Robertson, ex-Tiger Mark Couglan and 2005 premiership player Luke Ablett could become rookies.
Other players with AFL experience set to be in contention as mature rookies include Mitch Thorp, Kane Tenace, Cameron Cloke, Scott Harding and Sam Power.

Remember that Gold Coast get the first 5 rookie picks...
-
Can, the GC take mature aged rookies as well - They will need some more mature bodies and I suspect they will use some of their picks to pick up these types.
I really hope we use our PSD pick to pick the best kid left - Panos, Grimes, Dare Patrick etc! With Melbourne commited to Joel Mc Donald we have a chance to pick up a very good kid.
-
I still reckon that Dylan Grimes, Mitch Fisher, Jack Weston and afew others would represent good value as rookies.
-
I think it's gotta be out of Grimes or Panos.
Dylan Grimes brother Jack is one of the best kids in the AFL today.
Wasn't rated that highly and was typed to go 2nd round and did so @ 18 (approx)
His brother is teh same rated to go 2nd or 3rd round but didn't. The way Jack goes about his footy suggest his brother would be at least half as good. I think he's the front runner at this stage.

while grimes seem like a good prospect, he just doesn't seem like a real kpp to me, despite his height. doesn't play like one either. looks more like tall flanker.
-
apparently yesterday morning the club already invited a few prospects down for a bit of training and trial. from which they will select 3 or 4. that's what was said by the Richard Taylor bloke on RFC website yesterday. i'm really interested to see who they are.
i'd like to get a look at kyle hartigan. he's a tall defender at 194 with a strong body, also a very reliable kick. may be the type of big bodied defender which we still lack. would complement our tall defenders well.

Still a few decent kids around going by that list ignoring all the older recycled players. With GC17 planning to go with more mature players with their 5 rookie picks we should still be able to pick up at least a couple of the remaining decent kids with our PSD and first rookie pick. I still can't believe Panos was overlooked but obviously all 16 clubs saw something that put them off him :-\.
