Problem is, we all know how Wallace loves his athletes!

Well then we can cross Haynes off the list of possible recruits because after watching him this morning he aint no athlete 

Actually the only thing I reckon Haynes has going for him is the fact the he "ready made" - seeing him stading next to some of younger blokes you can see the difference 3-4 years in the system does in the physical side (body shape) of things

Spoiled for choice - not - for our 4th pick if we use it

if we arent we should be with pick 40. a ready made player, who as a midfielder has 10 years infront of him. if hes attitude is right he will make it.

Whether his attitude and commitment is now all there is the risk. Maybe now he's in his early-mid 20s he's mentally right to face the hefty demands of AFL footy. Playing in only 6 winning sides out of the 37 games over 3 years at the Saints wouldn't of been much fun if footy wasn't numero uno in your life. I never thought anything special of him when he was playing with the Saints but he is alot better prospect than nearly all of those in the above list.

Here's his stats at the Saints:   http://www.finalsiren.com/PlayerStats.asp?PlayerID=166&SeasonID=ALL

I'd take Beetham in a heartbeat over anyone in the AFL draft. This years draft list is not very enticing. It's a bit like going to a bad Greengrocer and trying to decide between a bruised apple and an over ripe Banana. No matter which one you choose, they may look okay on the outside but once you find out whats inside them you end up in a whole world of disappointment.

Ty Zantuck, Essendon;

I still cannot believe that Zantuck is training with Brisbane

Playing under Grant Thomas wouldn't have been much fun either if you aint one of Grant's "favourites"

bruised apple - Blumfield
over ripe bananas - Hudson, Marsh 
old coconut - Fleming
lemons - symbol of our recruiting over the past 25 years 

LOL tiga @ RFC the fresh food people.

How shocking is the 1999 draft? Pav, Corey are the picks and Fraser, Hasleby and Murphy are in the good category. And Freo, despite their rep for pulling schiit players in the draft didn't do too badly compared to colonwood. Josh Fraser 

PRIORITY
1: JOSH FRASER (Murray Bushrangers) Collingwood
2: PAUL HASLEBY (E Fremantle) Fremantle

ROUND 1:
3: AARON FIORA (Pt Adelaide) Richmond
4: MATTHEW PAVLICH (W Torrens) Fremantle
5: LEIGH BROWN (Gippsland) Fremantle
6: DAMIEN CUPIDO (Eastern Bushrangers) Brisbane
7: DANNY ROACH (Tassie Mariners) Collingwood
8: JOEL COREY (East Perth) Geelong
9: CAYDEN BEETHAM (Oakleigh Chargers) St Kilda
10: LUKE MCPHARLIN (E Fremantle) Hawthorn
11: DARREN GLASS (Perth) West Coast
12: PAUL KOULOURIOTIS (Calder Cannons) Port Adelaide
13: ROBERT MURPHY (Gippsland Power) Western Bulldogs
14: TRAVIS GASPAR (S Fremantle) West Coast
15: DAVID SPRIGGS (Prahran Dragons) Geelong
16: DAVID HAYNES (Geelong Falcons) West Coast
17: EZRA BRAY (Calder Cannons) Geelong

A shocking one for us that's for sure long-term  - Fiora, Poyas, Homewood, Mills, Zantuck all gone after 5 years. Cameron gave us good service in his last couple of years while Clinton King was useful but a shocking kick and too small.

It's not too bad overall though. A mixture of good and duds.  Haselby, Pavlich  , Corey, Glass and Murphy would walk straight into our top 10 while Fraser, McPharlin and at a long stretch Brown are useful.

Freo are not only ridiculed for their drafting but also giving up good young talent and picks cheaply - Bell, McPhee, Clement. Then it was giving up first pick (Luke Hodge) for Croad only for Croad to return to the Hawks. They also missed out on Lloyd. Earlier this year some guy on BF's mainboard had made a tribute clip to Freo's recruiting taking off the Live 8 ads with celebs clicking their fingers every two seconds - funny stuff  .

Brad Ottens - New season cherry (little substance and highly overpriced)
Ty Zantuck - Sour grapes

He ended up making a MUCH better an d funnier one bagging their drafting and recruiting, it got so popular that it caused his site to run out of bandwitch and got mentions on WA radio, apparently.

That is absolutely brilliant     . Simon and Garfunkel's "sound of silence" in the background tops it off. Bloody hilarious  .

Thankfully no one has done one on the Tiges. There's over 20 years of material there  .
