Curran was far from average in the Tac Cup this year.

There were plenty of good players in the team, I grant that, but he was not anything special. I was just saying I think the name helped him, thats all.

Hey guys, haven't read through this d so not Sure if it's been mentioned but a mate at work said it was reported in the Hun that melb were not looking to draft in the preseason or rookie draft? Surely he's had his wires crossed as we still have guys training with us and room on the rookie list?

Not for inclusion on our list, but can someone please provide an update on the status of Cameron Bruce, Simon Buckley, Paul Johnson, Kyle Cheney and Addam Maric for 2012.

How about Danny Hughes?

The Hun are reporting that he is likely to be rookied by the Saints.

I don't mind the sound of this guy, if we're going for a small forward. I thought he might get picked up in the ND.

Source - Phantom Drafts on Bigfooty - I think it's Knightmare's:

Haiden Schloithe (WA - Fwd)

Height: 179cm, Weight: 72kg, DOB: 16/06/1993

Recruited from: South Fremantle Football Club

Style: Mark LeCras

Player comparison:

Range: 40-rookie

Profile: Really good user of the footy. Looks dangerous whenever he gets near it. Good reader of the play. Has that radar where he just knows exactly where the goals are. Tackling great and in combination with his speed is a major weapon in his game. Looks incredibly draftable. Has nice strength through the hits which makes him hard to tackle. Is allot quicker than I thought running a 2.80 over 20m at the state screenings and also has a nice running vertical jump which is another nice surprise. Has really impressed me and stood out in the couple of games I’ve seen of him. Can play up the field but just love what I’ve seen of him as a forward! What he needs to work on is endurance, endurance testing at the draft combine was poor and is what will see him slide but don’t let that discourage you. Can absolutely play.

this guy could be another Tom Rocklift, who was rookied by brisbane and is now one of there best mid...

Cameron Bruce and Kyle Cheney remain on Hawthorn's list as does Simon Buckley at Collingwood.

PJ is on Hawthorn's permission to train list and likewise, Maric is training with the Tigers.

Thanks WJ. I had thought Bruce had some performance hurdles to achieve in order to get the second year. Am I wrong in thinking that, or did he actually achieve those requirements to get the second year?

I say that because, from a distance, it looked to me like the Bruce Hawthorn experiment in 2011 didn't track too well.

Didn't achieve them but looks like they will keep him on.

Having said that - I am not certain. I couldn't give a flying about Hawthorn's list management so I haven't studied it closely.

This is a list of potential prospects for the Rookie Draft there are a couple of here that we are already looking at.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/126608/default.aspx

It's a bit surprising that this kid didn't get drafted perhaps there's more to it, like too small, or not enough pace?

There will also be plenty of midfielders available at the December 13 draft meeting with West Perth's Shane Nelson probably the most surprising non-selection at the national draft.

He's a prolific ball winner with great endurance who can go forward and kick a goal and will surely be given a chance to impress from a rookie list.

That's something that we could use.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
