Rookie Draft thread

[Ramps]

I like the way King plays but Im not sure where he can play- hes really slight. Back Pocket maybe on small forwards, dont know- really dont know but I wish him well.

Don't think he is "slight" Ramps - got more beef and muscle on him than some of kids (e.g Meyer).

Back Pocket or HBF is the go for Jake

That's the positions King has been playing during training praccie matches. Played on Browny most of that time.

Very disappointing day of recruiting IMO. 

Drafting Kingsley was a BIG mistake. Should have taken a bottom-ager like Prismall or Collier

Rookie pick 8, Clingan is a good young player but not what we needed, we've ALREADY got his type in Raines. Definitely should have gone for a key defender, think Grose maybe.

Rookie pick 24, not going to complain too much, Kingy is a good player, kind of hoping for Sheringham or Pfieffer though.

Today's recruiting 4/10
National draft day recruiting 8.5/10

How could we fall so far from grace is beyond me.

We only had two rookie spots left which limited our options. Maybe in hindsight we should have delisted one more, kept Richo as a inside vet and then had a 3rd rookie selection. I have a feeling other clubs weren't interested in Clingan or King so we still probably could have got both of them with a 2nd or 3rd round rookie pick respectively and got a Grose with our first rookie pick. Ideally that would have nice as far as the make-up our rookie (ruckman, a key tall, 3 smalls) list but it's done now. If Clingan turns out to be another Raines then I won't be complaining. Stick Clingan in a BP with Raines in the centre.
