i was chatting to a few good mates who play afl and its the consensus that bell should have been drafted last year which is surprising
he has been rated to be fitter than copeland who is considered to be one of the fittest at the lions - i know that fitness means nothing unless one is talented
however he seemingly has it all...he can find the ball and kick goals however he is more an endurance runner than pacy...he was compared to someone in the lenny mould...
he was bog in the state league final which for one reason or another is talked about a fair bit between the boys...
and i met travis johnstone last night...man...that guy is a kid...some people just aren't born with brains
just passing on the good word people...

well noone mentioned anything...it was all positive "he is a gun" etcausfatcat wrote:nowdays, it's extremely rare someone of quality doesn't get drafted, so there must be a reason.
could be
attitude (maybe didn't have footy as his number one priority)
poor disposal
slow as hell
didn't nominate
and Johnston has always been a dick
and johnstone didnt come across as a dick...just really dumb...and young
he is what...27??? im 20 and i felt way more intelligent than him even through my intoxication...
he isn't that big either...

don't agree with that, sometimes players have an injury at the wrong time, not a stand out (say blistering pace or booming kicks) and thus they miss out. There are plenty of players coming through as slightly older, heck IMO eddy and geary were overlooked in the national draft yet both had a lot better development seasons then say howard did.ausfatcat wrote:nowdays, it's extremely rare someone of quality doesn't get drafted, so there must be a reason.

Would be very happy to have him on the rookie list with the potential to do a CJ or attard and make the jump if we struggle in the midfield stocks.

Billings - future brownlow medallist Longer - future best ruck
Dunstan - future captain Eli - future cult hero
Acres - future norm smith
