Re: Rookie Draft
What happened to Rookie listing Farren Ray? Did he decide that he didn't want to do that and instead chance his arm in the various drafts? Would we pick him up as a Rookie given we already committed to Saunders?

I hope not. There is no point at all. Lets get 2 young kids and one may make it.

Re: Rookie Draft
Is there anyone on here who's had a good look at the U18s and can give us an idea on who might be worth pursuing?
Re: Rookie Draft
Wouldn't mind grabbing a tall pure midfielder such as Murray or Parsons but I don't really know much about them

Re: Rookie Draft
Some of the phantom drafts had Parsons going in the 40s in the National Draft - one had him as high as 26!
Fair to say he will probably go in the first 4 picks of the Rookie draft - unless there is something we dont know.

Re: Rookie Draft
I am not keen on taking WA boys nowadays, but Jesse Glass-McCasker would have to be a chance. A 198cm defender.

Loris mentioned him before. I know the name but it was given to me in confidence.
Greg Clarke was the WA captain at the nationals and an AFL academy player. He's 194cm.

Re: Rookie Draft
Saunders is not currently on the rookie list guys, we have to use a pick to get him, and hope another club doesnt pick him before us to grab him.
James Parson would be a great get, should of been picked in the main draft for sure, and he is a tall mid and has speed and a great kick. What St.Kilda identfied they want, so get him Saints!

As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Re: Rookie Draft
I had a look at him, does have a good big kick and goes hard at it. Parsons I'm still most keen on. The exact kind of player we need and has massive potential.Jacks Back wrote:He also has a movie star kind of name.Junior wrote:I like Clint Hintchcliff from WA got paca and a good kick.

Re: Rookie Draft
For a supposedly shallow draft - looks like there are still a lot of promising kids available.
Keen on Jordan Snadden
Then - Hinchcliffe, Answerth, Chris Jansen, O'Kearney (all mid types) & Coughlan (mid/fwd/def)
Glass-McCasker, Jordan Bourke & Greg Clark (talls)

Re: Rookie Draft
We dont need a ruck but surely someone will take a punt on the Gach in the Rookie draft.
Will Parsons still be there at pick 5?
