[Demon 16 198]

Josh Walker and Callum Sinclair not training with any club.

Exactly.

Jonathan Giles and Jamie Solly are still available too.

Brad Harvey is one of the best players who didnt get drafted so I hope we snare him plus 1 or 2 of the above named.

I stopped pass training on Monday, and a few of these guys where training. The one that impressed me the most was a miny Matt Bate, short red head bloke, worked his arse off alwasy at the front of the group and looked like a hard nut. Does any one know who that would be?

He doesnt play like a hard nut!!

..... Cameron would have loved playing for us the last 5 years in our forward line... "he is one of the best players below his knees in Victoria."

Plenty of fwds have made it in footy being "outside" players. Milne says hi for one.

Footy keeps evolving. The ability to run, kick and be hard at the contest is forever becoming more important to success. Forwards that can not offer a physical contest will become obsolute in time. Its not as if he is under developed physically(this is something to be taken into account when drafting rookies)

What about Max Otten,be good if anything like his brother

What about Max Otten,be good if anything like his brother

190cm HBF type with a really nice short kicking game. Is forever working hard to run forward and create an option for a team mate, unfortunately the reason why he didnt get picked up in the National Draft is because he is an incredibly soft down hill skier.

[IWAP 170]

Two more names for the list.

Ben Jakobi (Coburg)

Daniel Nicholson (Uni Blues)

Permission to train list - 30Nov

Coburg can't be that good. That makes 7 on training lists.

[Guest hangon007]

Coburg can't be that good. That makes 7 on training lists.

Maybe he is just trying to have a kick with Tom. Trying to get in one year before the rest of the team.

Thought Dan Nicholson's name rung a bell:

This from Inside Football's Draft Edition (early November):-

Dan Nicholson, the 19-year-old from Uni Blues, is hot on the lips of AFL recruiters.

The star midfielder is 183cm. smart, agile and boasts enormous upside. Nicholson blossomed into one of the elite VAFA players this year, but his potential shone when the stakes were raised in representative football.

Co-captain of the Under 19 VAFA team, Nicholson torched his VCFL opponents with a best-afield display before shrugging his baby tag and starring in the VAFA's Under 23 clash against Tasmania.

Nicholson trained with Hawthorn in the lead-up to last year's rookie draft and given the Hawks culled 11 players last week he has naturally been linked to the brown and gold.

This about Ben Jakobi off the SMS from Pringle who was on Coburg's staff for the past couple of seasons:-

He's a midfielder. Not quick, moves well, good skills, strong body, usually clever with the ball. Not an inside mid nor particularly an outside mid but good in traffic. Does some classy things in tight spaces. Doesn't dominate.

He previously had some injury problems and a pre season operation causing him to miss the entire pre season and the first few rounds. Gained promotion to the seniors after only a couple of reserves games but only played a few senior games for Coburg so it's hard to comment how he might go. 

When he was back in the twos he was pretty good - you could tell he has class but the tank wasn't there. 

Richmond hold him in high regard and had been courting him for a while and has done some pre season training with  them.

He has yet to show his full potential but if he remains injury free would be worth putting on the rookie list. Nice guy too. Pretty shy/unassuming. 

Also - 19 years old, came from Brighton Grammar and is the son of Old Brighton President Rob Jakobi so the connection is there with Jack Watts and newly appointed Demon Board Member John Trotter who has been involved with Old Brighton Grammarians AFC since 1971.

Two more names for the list.

Ben Jakobi (Coburg)

Daniel Nicholson (Uni Blues)

Played with Ben (1 game) and against Dan Nicholson this year. Was actually opposed to him at various times throughout the game.

Nicholsons a good player - quick, skillful, glides across the turf. Wouldnt surprise me if he was rookie listed somewhere

Remember when we drafted Luke Ottens, on the strength of the fact he was then-Tiger Brad's brother, and thus he may improve? Dont always be fooled by the surname and its magical powers!

Good point.

Brothers of good players are usually duds.

[e25 5]

Wait... so, why don't we, like, select the brother of a dud!

Does Jason Cloke have a brother..?
