Today has been a sad and disappointing day for the RFC. Only Vickery was a correct selection. The rest of it was a waste.
2/10 only because they got Vickery and to be honest, Im surprised they called him out considering the rest of it has been a nonsense.

Ben Cousins in the Pre-season draft?
-
Am I working this out right?? We were the first Club to pass but all the others that passed finished lower than us so we have the last pick in the PSD ??
So we trial some kids, see which is the best and another team picks them before us in the PSD. I like the look of the two kids we got but the rest of the day just dont seem right to me.

Can I say in honestly I am not surprised in "pass" making a appearance at No. 70
Sometimes it has actually worked for us..... Matt White anyone ;D

Didnt we have first pick in the PSD when we got him? This is not the same. If we were going do this maybe we should of delisted one more. We could of got a good kid at pick 50 something and Hislop at 70 and last pick in the psd with pick 80 something. Tell you what there are a couple of kids that went after our 4th round pick that I would prefer to have than Pettifer thas for sure.

2005 Preseason Draft we picked up Matt White at Pick 5. Dylan McLaren, Sam Iles, Brent Guerra and Scott Camporeale went before him.

Well thanks for correcting me. Who did we pick up with 2004 first pick in PSD then, I honestly thought thats where we got Whitey. History is not my forte (ok nor is spelling).

Knobel with our first pick and we passed with #8. Here is the link I use for any draft info:

We've got that training session tomorrow for the kids that missed out on the draft. Deboer and Rockliff spring to mind straight away or an underage kid like Luke Thompson who may got top 20 next year. Alternatively maybe someone a fraction older like Cockie.

Francis said we wanted young Tassie ruckman Bart McCulloch with our last pick but Brisbane grabbed him in front of us at #69.

Rumour has it Brisbanes table overheard what was said on our table RE: McCulloch and took him. :banghead

Delisted by Brisbane today. Anyone know why? Injury-prone? Unusual for a young 199cm tall to be thrown on the scrapheap after just 2 years. Did he end up another Patto - a too slow inbetweener?

Spent the last 2 years injured
Even so, that's hardly unusual for a ruckman as they grow into their body, will be interesting to see if we get him down to training to have a look, unless he's still injured.

Cheers Infamy. I did some searching and as you say he missed most of 2009 with soft tissue injuries with a quad finally ending his season. He did play 12 QAFL games this year and I think he was in Brisbane's Shanghai side/squad which is unusual in itself playing a guy in an exhibition game the week before you delist him ???.
McCulloch's originally from Tassie so up to him if he wants to play VFL in Melbourne and whether we are as interested in him now as Francis Jackson was 2 years ago when the Lions pipped us at the draft table by one pick.
