Danny Hughes training with the Saints? He gets a lot of shots at it!

But earned it, was in the wafl team of the year. Ave around 9 marks and in the end Jack Anthony couldn't get a spot ahead of him and broadhurst. word is over in perth is freo will rookie him.

I have some doubt that Tuck has already been offered to train with us.

[Carlos Danger 380]

Maric is the first player since Miller that I've watched playing for MFC thinking "seriously, this guy can't cut the mustard at AFL level".

I find it pretty funny Richmond are considering a spot for Maric on their list alongside Miller. Good luck with that 9th spot Richmond, you wear it well.

He's got to be better than Ryan Gamble

Permission to train, pt 2 of 2 - Melbourne; Tom Couch (Collingwood / Bell Park). Western Bulldogs; Mark Austin (Carlton). https://twitter.com/...211565035798528

Hightower still training with the Hawks.

[jabberwocky 2,301]

From what I hear Couch was a solid midfielder for the Collingwood VFL side this year. Meat and potatoes mid, gets a lot of it, not quick. His dad was a late bloomer drafted at 21 years of age I believe. Obviously our Collingwood connections know him.

Insider trading.

I like the meat and potatoes mid description. If he gets alot of it, I hope he's not carrying a tool shed.

I'd rather have Valenti back at the club.

Does anyone know if Tom Sunberg is training with anyone, Collingwood VFL B and F winner, thought he looked ok and might get a gig.

[daisycutter 28,517]

Sauce?

Saucer of milk to the Moderators room please!!

Thanks.

Have merged two "Permission to train threads" into one. We'll keep it here in the JT Board (Drafting and Trading Board), seeing it is relevant to this board. Have moved the original from the Message board to here. (JCB's one).

Cheers.

PERMISSION TO TRAIN LIST (updated 11.11.11)

 

Richmond - Pat Contin, David Fahey, Glen Grgic, Ben Jakobi, Addam Maric, John McCarthy Leigh Masters, William Wheeler.

 

I am going to go out on a limb and say that Willy Wheeler is a dead set chance to be rookied by Richmond ... however (my disclaimer) ... he is quite short, about 170cm I think. Unfortunately (in my opinion) gone are the days when football ability was football ability regardless of how tall or short you were. Willy is a GUN!!! Full stop. I watched every game he played this year. I am not a relative or friend of his. Trust me. I just worked for Coburg FC and he is an absolute star footballer, BUT... he is 170cm at best. That is a BIG factor in recruiting and no doubt the only reason he wasn't drafted. But at VFL level he is a brilliant little player and so composed and skilled. 

I REALLY hope he gets rookied, as I have rarely seen a talent like him as an 18y.o. small boy playing VFL 1's. I hate the fact that height is an issue these days when looking at drafting talented young, players, but unfortunately it is... and yet useless 188+ athletic midfielders with relatively little football ability get snapped up and talked up as the next big thing due to their amazing athletic ability. 

Anyone remember Diesel Williams? Tony Liberatore? Would hate to think that there is no place for this type of player in modern football.

According to this article in the local media Wee Willie Wheeler leaves big impression, the kid's 176cm not 170.

Still small but draftable.

Not a big factor in saying you are going out on a limb to say Richmond will pick him up. The Herald Sun nominated it back in July.

By the way, he is 176 cms tall
