Aarggh! Aaron Hall gone to GWS in the Pre Season pick 2.

No. It was Gold Coast who got him.

I want to know what the f's happened to Clutterbuck and Tuck?

[Hells Gates 505]

Pick 42. James Magner

From Sandringham Zebras, he is a 24-year-old player. He is a clearance specialist with a relentless attack on the footy.

Pick 59 (Melbourne): Leigh Williams

[Hells Gates 505]

Leigh Williams

He is a powerful key forward, an excellent kick for goal and a one touch player. He is a very good contested mark.

[Rocknroll 1,002]

Two tall fowards with strong hands and two hard body in and under types.

Not bad. Goes prety much in line with the pies game plan.

They came back up and corrected it, he went to the Suns.

OK, that makes sense as he trained with them.

[Redleg 40,057]

Looks pretty good by us, two hard mids and two talls, one a bit older and the other once rumoured to go top 30 in ND.

[old55 22,775]

surely that's Tom Couch?

[Hells Gates 505]

So Im guessing Williams sounds like he play round 1 at FF with Clark at CHF??

[Barney Rubble 1,576]

I think the FD has done well again.

You can't complain about those selections.

I didn't think we had a hope in hell of getting Jai Sheahan

But Leigh Williams and Crouchy have been standouts at training.

Can't say know much about Magner apart from what I've read today.

I guess Brett Lovett may have had some input.

[jayceebee31 697]

Great result and congrats-BP and crew,will enhance the list incredibly.Burnett not being picked up surprised me and getting Manger whom is already developed surprised me as well.

GO DEES GO.

[hardtack 10,400]

Gee. That means Phil Scully misses out.

I hear that he ate their picks list.

[Barney Rubble 1,576]

Remember Guys these are just Rookies.

Most likely will play at Casey this year.

[nutbean 8,838]

Gee. That means Phil Scully misses out.

I would have thought a sure thing as a rookie draft-horse

[Jordie_tackles 354]

I like the selections, two ready made inside mids in a good age bracket, and two project KPF which is really positive.

There may be a few players drafted who can play early next year, with Magner, Couch, Taggert hopefully one can get in early

So we are going to add these 2 to the list of Watts, Clark, Lucas Cook (a first round draft pick), Jack Fitzpatrick, plus possibly Davis, Tom Mac and Sellar. As Neeld continues to say, we will see a different team in 2012, which is great, but it's 2013+ that I'm wanting to see a premiership team, so there will be pressure on some of these guys to step up/develop quicker.

Let's not get carried away here.

One was a first round pick that we spent a first round pick on, the other was playing in the Essendon footy league last year...

[Deeoldfart 7,993]

Watching training today, if Jai Sheahan is there in the third or fourth round we will take him. I think we will take Leigh Williams, Couch, Sheahan and Cutterbuck

Three out of four was a pretty fair effort drdrake!

Eastern Footy League! Makes a big difference.

[Hells Gates 505]

Dan Nicholson was also playing in the amateurs too but everyone loves him so what's the difference? It was only a question, not an opinion.
