Unless i missed it, they did not get picked up?

I would LOVE one of them at the Dees...

Anyway?

Posted (edited)

Jack Grimes, Liam Patrick, Mathew Panos, Alex carey, Majak Daw.

Just to name a few.

Anyone else?

Also Andrew Hooper and Anton woods although always likely to be rookied.

Do we have any picks in the rookie draft? if so which ones?

We're obliged to take Newton and Meesen aren't we?

don't think we have room on our rookie list aren't we commited....

but would love any of these apart from picks 1 and 2 i am suprised

We might be able to squeeze one in as a rookie. I'm not sure how the mature age rookies fit into things in terms of how many we can have. Possible that one or the other will be in there. Otherwise we'd have to use the PSD 1 for them and if we were going to do that we'd have just taken them now.

short answer= NO.

Joel McDonald has been confirmed at PSD1 by Connoly.

2 remaining rookie spots have been committed to Meesan and Newton.

Cant believe we didnt pick Daw up at 66!

If we were going to pick 1 of them up, wouldnt we have just done it at 66?

Is there a reason why you would wait until the PSD / RD?

It isn't hard to believe. We have one remaining vacancy on the list which is committed to Macdonald. The reason we didn't pick either of them at 66 is clearly because we don't want them.

So the short answer to the OP is no, it is not possible that they will be on our list next year.

Didn't think we had any spots left with Meesen and Newtown put on there. Disappointing!

Correct, our rookie list is full, if we go by our promise to Meesen and Newtown. Besides they both have a year to go on their contacts.

Not that I would know, but I feel for Grimes.

Hopefully somebody rookies him, because if he has his brother's attitude and work ethic, he's a good project player.

Pay them out! They have done nothing.

I would prefer Grimes, Panos or Patrick!

Can we just [censored] them off by paying them next year's money and draft some kids - Majak Daw for one. Panos would be good if he was still there at 17.

Panos not picked up either.

I thought we would have taken a punt on a forward. Perhaps Bailey is banking on winning a premiership with midfielders.

Bit of a let down, this draft.

Ill go strait out and say how i feel about pick 11 mainly im excited about taking him though i am worried would of loved Lucas but oh well.

Must trust BP,

Also his highlights dont really show elite skill or speed.

But lets not be negative overall im happy and excited!

I have been calling all year for Newton to be payed out. Now we are not tanking he is a worthless, waste of space. Other clubs have paid out contracts (Haw - Thorpe, etc), so we can too. Newton will never make it, as certain as night and day. Get rid of him and free up the space for Grimes or Patrick.

I thought Meeson showed something in his 3 games before getting injured. Nevertheless with two new ruckmen and his failure to deliver at two clubs I would not be against paying him out either. Lets be ruthless.

Dump the duds!

Go Dees!!

4 of the most popular names on this site without a home; Patrick, Panos, Temel and Daw.

Three of those four were obviously over-hyped, even to the numptie armchair recruiter like me.

I am surprised the other wasn't taken though.

Posted

Matthew Panos

Serhat Temel

Majak Daw

Daniel Archer

Dylan Grimes

Joe Dare

These are all KPP's that we should target in the Rookie Draft. Personally, i think that there is absolutely no use redrafting Meesen as we have just drafted two ruckmen in Gawn and Fitzpatrick. All these KPP's were expected to be drafted so imo the Dees should take a gamble on one of them.

I tend too agree but unril we see them play who knows make a judgment than there were other players i would have prefered but lets face it the media hype up certain players its a guessing game to an extent lets hope our team of midfielders can win a flag hey!

The club has made a commitment, the club will stick to it.

Besides, GC have 5 picks before us in the rookie draft. If any of those players are any good, they'll be gone.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
