Dream Rookie Shopping for 2011

Featured Replies

Posted

This may have been discussed previously in other threads, however it has come up quite a bit in discussions with my friends of late. As we have seen, more so in 2010 than any other season, Rookie players making an impact.

It's a great way to supliment your list, and given that we know more about our list than we did before Round 1, what does everyone think would be the best area we could look to build for depth. Rookie players are also a bit of a 'free hit' in footy so the risk is really minimal but the room to benefit is large.

I'll start it off, Matt Little of Williamstown is a mature aged player who has been kicking bags in the VFL.

Should've picked up Sautner years before, but I guess we had Neita kicking goals...

Matt Little sounds interesting, how many has he kicked this season?

I would be surprised if he isnt playing at the Gold Coast next year. A player we should look at. 188cm. I think we would like someone around the 192-196cm mark and about 90-100kg.

Not sure of the exact tally for the season, but he has kicked 8 twice.

He also won the Best VFL player at the Interstate carnival.

Yeah, the Barlow/Pods thing is amazing, but let's not forget Aaron Edwards kicked 100 in the VFL and ended up at the Roos during a period that they made some finals, but he's just another player. You could argue a list-clogger.


agreed.

Not many VFL players become elite afl players, wouldn't be putting huge amount of faith in drafting the next Barlow.

Valenti was the best vfl player... he was only an average afl player.

worth a shot i guess though, later in the rookie draft

Stockdale from Casey, very good little tough running defender, I'd be very keen to get.

Maybe Myles Sewell from North Ballarat, he's a ball magnet but then again we're developing a pretty decent midfield as is.

Key position forwards and maybe a mature age ruckman who can play forward I'd say is also on the cards.

 

Chad Liddell.

BOOM.

Our current stand in captain at Casey,James Wall IMO would be an outstanding addition to our list- most probably suited to the rookie list at this stage.His year has been extremely good.Could even become a premiership captain. Here's hoping.

I don't want any more skinny blokes on our list please. We need muscle and bulk

Simpson from Casey. He's listed as 196cm, a very powerful unit, and he damn near killed someone in a tackle earlier in the season. I'm not sure why Geelong didn't want him, but he looks pretty decent.

Adrian Bonaddio. Monster of a man

Bonaddio is massive.195cm and 112kg. i would totally have him in the goal square :)

Simpson from Casey. He's listed as 196cm, a very powerful unit, and he damn near killed someone in a tackle earlier in the season. I'm not sure why Geelong didn't want him, but he looks pretty decent.

He has my vote as well, been very keen on him when he elected to play for Casey, and not Frankston.

Big, strong and has some mongrel in him, just what we need, Have some defenders etc to have the 'wind'

put up them. Hasnt played much, at Casey, I'm thinking (hoping) MFC wanted to keep him 'low profile".

We could do worse,than rookie him for next year.


1st post!

Paul Richardson from Swan Districts in WA. defender who can play in the midfield.

AIS member in the same year as Griffen, Ray, Mclean, tambling etc and captain of the WA u18 team in 2003/2004. Overlooked in the 03 & 04 drafts, may have been due to being injured during both draft camps that he was ivited to. He hasnt played much WAFL footy latley due to work comitments but recently made his return and has recived good wraps by the WA footy press. He is 24.

  • 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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
