Mundy and Fyfe started as flankers.

That's true.

And while his highlights don't show him playing in the middle, Lennon moved in there for the last handful of TAC up games and racked up good numbers.

He's my number 1 choice with pick 9, but only a whisker ahead of Freeman.

i heard somewhere that he is good mates with hogan which could help in keeping both

Always a good reason to recruit a kid...

What i like about Freeman is the muscle he has in his legs. He is stated as 85kgs, and by the looks of that, particularly in a full body shot seen on demonland of him, a lot of that muscle is from the waist down.

If you've got strong legs, generally you are able to withstand tackles muxh better and remain on your feet. Have a look at Ollie Wines, his legs are enormous, and he goes alright in the middle.

What a delicious position to be in. Waxing lyrical about the pros and cons of which "gun of a kid" we will get at 9 !! We cant really lose here.

Luke Dunstan is my smokey for pick 9. Runs hard both ways as it shows in his footage. Big strong inside midfielder who is a nice kick.

Now that Baghdad's buddy is no longer the recruiting manager, his other buddy is no longer the list manager and he's no longer personally helping out, let's hope you're right.

The trade off is usually speed or stamina. Freeman has the speed. The stamina (even though he did a good beep) might still take a few years. I can see the Dangerfield comparisons but to me Freeman is risky. At his best he's Dangerfield at his worst is Blease. If our recruiters like him I'll back them in, but he'll need time otherwise he would've gone pick 2 with his speed.

Cross out Blease and replace with Silvia.

I liked the look of Lennon, seems a little like Stevie J, not as many tricks but I'd be happy with I'm.

Freeman looks nice, but needs to work on kicking a little, Sheed looked a gem.

think back to Robert Harvey. almost untacklable.

Gary Ablett Snr & Jnr

power from the knees up thru the hips & torso, hard to move off their direction.

Pick 9 will be Dom Sheed.

He easily outclassed Kelly & Aish in the U18'S Champs and kicked 4 goals and is a big Ba$tard already,we need more goal kicking mids like Sydney.

Plus West Coast are desperate for him.

Wouldn't mind it.

Lennon and freeman are one and two in line for me though.

i heard somewhere that he is good mates with hogan which could help in keeping both

They would have played together in the WA junior squads

Sheed is a country boy from Kalgoorlie/Goldfields which is in the Subi zone

Hogan came through Marist Junior Footy Club in the Claremont District Zone

Why did they trade pick 6 then?

If West Coast were desperate for him, they would not of traded their pick 6.

People seem to think Sheed will be there at 11, obviously they didn't watch the nationals.

Sheed, Taylor and Kelly had the best nationals and by a fair bit.

That is the big stage.

I like Sheed, he was a class above, I liked Kelly and I think Lewis Taylor is a Sam Mitchell clone.

Why did they trade pick 6 then?

That's a good question and if they did why not for pick 10? what's so special about pick 11?

I'm not so sure they are desperate for Sheed at all.

Go Lennon - to the Dees! What a great get!

On the comparison between Patrick Dangerfield and Nathan Freeman, "Danger" was drafted by the Crows as a bottom ager in the 2007 national draft when it was still possible to draft 17 year olds (they had to be born between 1 January and 30 April) i.e similar in age to O'Meara, B Crouch, Martin and Hogan. He initially stayed home and played mainly for the Geelong Falcons but I think he got a couple of games for the Crows in late 2008.

Freeman is basically at an equivalent stage to where Dangerfield was at the end of 2008. He's also a fair bit shorter than Dangerfield who is 189cm.

I have a feeling we will go for a midfielder/flanker with height. KK is a big chance to be picked up by us. Left footer who is so clean by foot and can take a mark. Fyfe is a similar player with his height also kolodjashni is a better kick.

I don't think it's even fair to compare the two.

Crouch or freeman?

Its hard to go past crouch, a real hungry animal.

Jeez Dom Sheed can seriously play!

KK is an out and out gun... The most improvement out of ANY of the draftees coming through.

If they all played an extra year, based on improvement rates, KK would pass the lost of them.

Kids got it all.

That's my thinking. Plus we could really use a flanker with a lethal boot. Helps our defence clear the ball as a few of our defenders don't know how to kick to a target.

I agree, extremely impressive! Reads the play beautifully and looks composed with the footy
