what happens with GWS mini draft

With O'Meara and Crouch already selected, what picks are left from the commonly labelled mini-draft?

and when does the remaining bidding close?

I am intrigued because i understand the thought of 'selling off' the top 4 underage picks due to come on next year, but if the remaining two are next year, shouldn't we know with greater certainty who will be a likely star at AFL level (e.g Trengove who stepped up in his last year playing finals in SANFL)

    I was once confused like you are Bay but the mini-draft of 17 year olds has the 17 year olds from each draft - they are not the same pool of players.

    So Chelly is right, they are 16 and probably in year 10 wagging class and talking about LMFAO or Katy Perry or who else do kids like?...Morgan Freeman.

    LOL...Morgan Freeman.

    Does anyone have any 'embryonic mail' of 16 year old guns who we may be at least interested in at this stage ? Preferably the midfield guns who will reach star status....Those who may be chosen by GWS for the Mini Draft.

    GWS don't chose candidates for the mini-draft. They voluntarily nominate themselves if interested.

    How old is Billy Stretch now?

    What's the chance of picking him up under the F/S rule?

    Voluntarily nominated. Maybe encouraged.

    no doubt there is encouragement/discouragement from many quarters for many different reasons

    i can't see what incentive gws could offer other than the chance that gws won't get you, which is not such an issue in 2012

    I thought the clubs put up 8 names each and then the kids had to agree?

    Tick.

    I can see encouraging and discouraging....and given Matty Rendell's view, GWS and the like would be perhaps discouraging .

    Let's maybe wait til he goes through puberty first. What I want to know is does Rod 'Balls' Grinter have a son. Now there's a kid we should sign up early.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.
