tigers wouldnt know how to develop an aboriginal kid so best we pass him.

Since Michael Mitchell we have had no one yet we house that centre

if buddy came over who knows how he would've ended up.

The Institute has nothing to do with developing footballers daniel

It's about helping in the development of indigenous youth regarding life not football.

The 2 are very different things

But you are right about our ability over the last 5-8 years to develop indigenous footballers

if this kid was so keen to come to victoria he should have shown initiative by moving over here himself and playing with a VFL side.

That is the sort of thing that would help convince recruiters he has grown up.

Crap! The WAFL has produced some absolute legends! Why move until he is drafted, not even relevant!

it is very relevant, if you took the time to read what the kid has said.

we are not talking, in way at all, about the standard of the local competitions and their ability to produce quality footballers.

That is the irrelevant part, of which no one but you has bought the discussion.

You are assuming one big thing WP.
Maybe he has been told not to show interest in anyone else by a certain club as he will be guaranteed a spot. :-X

Well one would hope he hasn't received that sort of advice because that's called draft tampering by him and any club who in on the scam

Actually it's not a smart move on so any fronts.  ;D

Its an interesting thought, if one of the better\richer teams, say West Coast had approached him then as a player I'd be tempted to knock back\ignore a few other offers.  Given we know how much off field spend matters to success, I'd hate to get drafted by the Dogs, Port or Melbourne and right at the moment it seems Brisbane are back to their Bad News Bears days.

On so many levels as a player it matters. You get better medical care, better coaching, you become a better player, you have better players around you, from a purely mercenary point of view it makes a huge amount of sense.

if we talk pure talent alone any club would be crazy to overlook him.

so obviously clubs are concerned about attitude and probably more important the ability to see it thru for the long haul.

personally on talent alone id give up a first rounder for him.

imo he has shown thru actions that he is prepared to knuckle down and change his attitude.  the one risk that remains is if the going gets tough will he see it thru.
for a club like us. yes a club like us who in recent yrs have been burnt big time by a lot of kids with suspect attitude if you like i can understand why we would give it a miss.
 
thing is you do have to weigh up the reward v risk side of things especially with a kid who has worked so hard to redeem himself.
for me the question is not to take him but how much of a risk are we prepared to take to get him. you know im certain this kid will be less work than dusty. imo he will thrive in the right environment.

we just cant ignore such talented players for no other reason than we have been burnt in the past.

without a doubt if he was there at 46 you would take him. its probably borderline to take him at 28 but if we were to attain a pick at say 35 id have no hesitation in useing it having already used a second round pick.
i wont go on i know people get sick to death of the long winded posts. all i say is give him, a chance having weighed up the risk reward factors.

Nice self editing as well Claw, and I agree a late 2nd rounder / early 3rd rounder is around about the equilibrium in risk/reward balance.

Big decision for RFC is whether it wants 2 volatile personalities of Martin & Garlett on the list simultaneously, as I am reassured that the club now has appropriate personell structures and resources to manage these guys.

Both have elite talent, and just may be the catalyst for a sustained top 4 tilt.

3rd rounder IMO. 2nd rounder seems just a little bit to much of a stretch
