Rookie draft thread
« on: November 23, 2012, 01:29:57 PM »
FJ on SEN this morning said we'll be taking 4 rookies with a few AFL players on our radar (thanks wayne).

We obviously have Toy, Stephenson, Wood and A.Maric training with us already so at least one or more will come from them you'd presume.

Other possible recycled AFL players: Salopek (by request)

Then there's the kids that missed out on the draft. Inside Football had the following going in the first 3 rounds but they all were overlooked:

Dayle Garlett - Francis has already said no.
Jason Pongracic
Matthew Haynes
Sam Colquhoun
Shane Nelson
Andrew Boston
Jordan Bourke
Darcy Fort
Jarrod Lienert
Sam Lowrie
Nick Rodda
Marvin Warrell
Patrick Wilson

Will we go after any of them?

What's the deal with Colquhoun being over looked? thought he was a early to mid draft selection in most phantoms. Bit like Frost last year and was lucky enough to get a promo this year.

Yes but one is an international rookie and isn't included as rookie and doesn't impact on our total isn't number

He is a great kick of the footy but is considered a bit "outside and soft" in terms of getting the footy, I would nevertheless like to see us rookie him at Richmond and give him a chance.

Toy, Wood/Stephenson, and 2 of Pongracic/Colquhuon/Haynes  :pray

Would rather Stephenson over Wood but its like choosing between a douche or a turd sammich.

Would rather Wood over Stephenson on youth alone but otherwise agree with the analogy.

So in total we have 4 picks for Rookies and none on the main list ??.I only want one reycled player a ruckman that's all.The rest kids and if Toy performs maybe him.We should get Shane Nelson went back and worked hard in the wafl after being unlucky to get drafted last year and had a great year ready to step up rd 1 to rather him then Salopek.
