Rookie Draft

Featured Replies

Posted

The following players would be worth rookie listing imo:-

Andrew Hooper - joint 2009 Larke Medalist;

Mark Hutchings - WA u18 state captain who played well for East Perth league side;

Joe Dare - versatile highly rated key defender;

Dylan Grimes - hopefully like his brother;

Kayler-Thompson - Perth midfielder who always plays well in the league side, reminds me of Priddis and Ballantyne at how they were overlooked for years;

Roland Ah Chee - played well in the championships, appears to have talent;

Myles Sewell - for obvious reasons - b&f for VFL in 09, brother of Brad, worth the risk imo;

Mitch Thorp - key forward that we require, has plenty of talent

personally i would recommend that we take sewell and thorp, but i would be happy scoring any of the above for free

thoughts?

 

Dude, no rookie spots left......

Meesen and Newton have them allocated unless they are picked up by another club.

Grimes, Daw, Panos and Thorp would be nice, but we are just not in the market for rookies this year.

fingers crossed they get picked up then cause i think they are shite

On the (very) off chance that Newton and/or Meesen get picked up by other clubs, I would like to see players like Daw, Patrick or Grimes being picked up. Thorpe as an outside chance depending on how his foot looks (I'd take him if he were fully fit). Daw and Patrick in particular look to have a lot of raw talent and could be seen as long-term investments, which is precisely what the rookie list is for.

edit: slight typo there.

We need another option up forward. I wish they had've bitten the bullet and given Juice Newton the chop and maybe took a punt on Mitch Thorpe.

A guy like Thorpe is more talented and would be a good acquisition if he could get his body right.

Thorp has injury worries with the foot like Meesen. We dont need either of them and we dont need Newton either.

We should have two rookie picks.

One would be a name like Grimes, Patrick, Daw, Panos and Dare. The other would be a player that slips or a smokey BP might want to giva a chance.

I expect Patrick to be taken by the Dons and Daw by the Roos. I think Grimes is possible a GC Pick 1-5. But one of the above woud surely be better than Meesen and Newton.

Is it official or just a verbal agreement that means nothing if the club decides to change their mind?

 

We've got to pay the players out if we don't resign them as rookies.

We've obviously still got pick 6 in the rookie draft anyway, which we'll use to pick up one of them, and pick 23 to pick up the other.

Unless the highly unlikely situation occurs that GC17 picks up both Meesen and Newton, none of those guys are going to end up at Melbourne.

I guess the only point of discussion is which one is picked up with pick 6, so that we can decide who is more valuable to the club, or alternatively, who is more likely to be picked up by another club.

Set in stone.


It would be nice to have both Grimes brothers at the club and that will only happen if GC17 takes Newton or Meesen.

But wouldn't it be great?

Unfortunately I think Essendon will choose between Dylan and Joe Dare in the PSD.

We may never get a chance to take him...

Well If not picked up by any clubs those names will still be there next year in the national draft in whcih Gold Coast have all the pickings - if good enough they stand a better chance than previous years past overs in getting a second (or third look).

1. Gold Coast, 2. Gold Coast, 3. Gold Coast, 4. Gold Coast, 5. Gold Coast, 6. Melbourne Demons, 7. Richmond, 8. Fremantle, 9. North Melbourne, 10. Sydney Swans, 11. West Coast Eagles, 12. Port Adelaide, 13. Hawthorn, 14. Essendon, 15. Carlton, 16. Brisbane Lions, 17. Adelaide Crows, 18. Collingwood, 19. Western Bulldogs, 20. St Kilda, 21. Geelong 22.Melbourne Demons

rookie draft order as listed

For the obvious reason, of all of the drafts that have taken place in the AFL over the last 20 or so years, this next one, (PSD and Rookie), holds the least interest for me. In fact no interest at all.

Take a gamble and pick Panos, the hell with Newton..

The club has set itself the goal of dealing with it's list with total integrity. This attitude goes completely against that. We will make the tough desicions when required, but we will also honour all contracts we enter into.

What about the PSD - Richmond ?

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
