Draft Camp starts today/tonight with a Dinner at the AIS in Canberra. All the real stuff starts tomorrow and continues through Thursday and concludes on Friday.
I can see us in a bit of a bind here; All our coaching staff will be very busy preparing for Saturday. Our List Manager, Matthew Drain is finishing up this week. So, who attends and interviews prospective draftees etc? I suppose we will need to leave everything in the hands of John Peake and possibly John Beveridge. Maybe Harvs could help out, along with Andrew Thompson.
I know that we have had 4 or 5 of our people attend in the past but this is a fairly unique year. Will Ross have enough time to jump on a plane tomorrow or Thursday? !!
Draft Camp. Who's going ? !!

GC have already committed to him, he's got BJ written all over him, and these are the players of the future.
If someone can play two or more roles at an elite level, they are worth their weight in gold.
Pavlich, Goddard, Goodes, Hodge are the four best imo (In no particular order) .
All those player descriptions make them all out to be future superstars.

It's like I've never known a bad person to be killed.
For example, the Underbelly Gangster type "he was a wonderful family man who would give you shirt off his back blah, blah, blah....."
Or the dopehead drunken kid who kills all his mates in a car crash "he was a great kid, wonderful student, loved by everyone blah, blah, blah...."
I suppose the lesson to be learned is to be an asshole and you'll live forever!

Odds are we will have to be very lucky to get a quality player in the next couple of drafts.
maybe a couple of GOPs at best.
Woulnd't mind picking Charlie Riewoldt just for his name...He has kicked a few this season too.
Get him to the club whilst Roo is there and he can show him how to go about it and how to live up to the name.
