I don't believe we will draft Rix but this is solely based on what I percieved at pre season training earlier this year where he got the job on Richo and was towelled up,  I had heard he was one of the favourites for the Liston Trophy but he didn't win it so I feel he's playing at his right level in the VFL.

You want big men that are agile and fairly quick for their size. That wasn't the impression I got from the few times I watched Rix.

In todays Age, looks like we have given him the flick all together.

"The Bendigo Bombers' Jordan Doering, Springvale's Ashley Eames and Coburg's Michael Rix were the other players that received permission to train with the Dons."

Cheer up Julz - just because he is training with the Bombers doesn't mean he'll get picked up by the Bombers.  ;D

In all fairness to Michael Rix and he is a fantastic bloke he would be a very late pick in the draft 60-70's at best IMV. It's hard to know what position he'd play in the AFL. For Coburg he spent a lot of time in the ruck and he is a very good tap ruckman but I doubt that he'd be tall enough to hold that position in the AFL. Key position defender perhaps but you'd question whether he'd have the pace -so many questions  :help ;D

Perhaps he may end up back at the Burgers  ;) ;D

Most likely he's just trying his luck training with the Bombers in the off chance he'd be picked up in either the National or preseason  drafts. If nothing happens then as WP said he'll probably remain with Coburg in the VFL,

'Well' St Kilda took him as their 3rd round pick.
Quite a surprise but good luck to him for fullfilling his dream.

I am absolutely rapted for Michael Rix - that he is finally getting his chance at AFL level. I will admit to being staggered he went in the 3rd round and feel sorry for him at the same time - St Kilda of all places  :scream

Ummmmmm what is all this nonsense i hear about Rix being 200cm?  :o :o

Apparently on the afl draft show on 10 they had him listed at 200cm, footydraft have him at 199cm and so does a papers draft review!

I thought he was like 193cm?  ???

Exactly - Greg Stafford's about 200cm (or a bit more) and I've seen Rix and Staffy standing side by side and Rixie aint the same height as Staffy ;D

About Richo's height (6ft 5") or a little less I reckon.

Cheer up Julz at least he's not lost to you prying eyes altogether ;D

He may line up against us in round 2 on the Friday night early next season  :rollin
