The Recruit

[olisik 4,060]

Surprised we dont have a thread on this yet.

So apparently they will be holding a special draft for AFL teams to take partocopants in the recruit as rookies.

Now thay Westrupp is gone does anyone think any of the candidates here could be of any value for us? Waylon Mason anyone?

[Ted Lasso 19,506]

I am a bit of a fan of Johan Wagner and Reece Maxwell myself, i reckon both could become players,

Wagners running is way above elite for a bloke his side and he has the capacity to seriously dominate games, could he transfer it to AFL level?

I've said it in other threads. I want us to take a punt on Manson. He might pack it in and go back home, but there's a chance he could take to the AFL and become a star for us. Totally worth a Rookie spot.

Manson was once touted top 5 prospect im 2011 draft. We need some excitement.

The Jackel

[Tyson_Viney_Toumpas 269]

I used to play football with Waylon. No thanks.

Good against crap sides, but soft as custard against the rest. Never used to chase or tackle at all, think a poor man's Jack Watts.

No he wasn't.

Never was.

[olisik 4,060]

Never was.

Guess the show is lying then because dazzledavey said so.

They probably are because I can find no evidence that he was rated top 5, maybe in the rookie draft. They must have mixed him up with Garlett who was rated a top 10 pick.

We mentioned this in another thread. I agree on Wagner and Maxwell, I rate Wagner a little higher as I believe he would fulfil our needs more so than maxwell.

He's very athelitic and appears to be able to find the goals.

[Leoncelli_36 2,264]

I like Wagner and the Jackal. Another thing I was thinking bout the other day, we the success of Hanley at Brissy, should the mfc look at another tilt at the Irish Experiment? Roos seems a fan of it. Reckon we should look at it again. Be a nicevtributevto Jimmy too, could set up a scholarship type scenario

[olisik 4,060]

These guys know how to work hard. I hope Roos has made the current players watch this so they could see how hard others are willing go work for a shot at thir jobs.

These guys would be cheap pickups and if they are holding a special draft we may have a high pick.

Go to all the phantom drafts back in 2011 and not once where he was rated a top 5 contender. He was atleast a 3rd rounder rookie chance because of his background.

Your watching reality tv of course they would pump him up.

Fact is he was never rated a top 5 prospect.

Cool.

We should have a look at him as his 193cm with a huge leap, good skills and isnt afraid to go in hard. Would be a good pickup without costing us anything.

I can't believe anyone who watches the show would be interested in taking a punt on Waylen. Attitude is nowhere near what is required, which I understandable given his background, but unfortunately it just won't work. And not to mention I have seen very little in Waylen to get excited about from the limited game footage they show.

Wagner looks like a definite prospect. His kicking action is a bit unorthodox but he is quick and looks an elite athlete.

[olisik 4,060]

Waylen talks abit of trash but when it comes to the crunch he has always pushed through

[JackVineyForPresident 310]

Wagner would actually be good

[olisik 4,060]

I hope we are looking at Wagner. He looks better then half our list and has a good head on his shoulders.

[Demons 32 235]

Wagner all day.

[rjay 24,917]

Guy Sabastion might make a good solid mid...

Id be happy taking anyone after Sundays game. 3 goals......Archie Thompson could outscores the MFC on his own
