2017 AFL Rookie Draft

[hardtack 10,187]

McInerney went to Brisbane

[DemonDave 1,078]

Great stuff for the Scorps to see 2 of their own upgraded to Melbourne's rookie list, a definite vindication

of the success Plapp & co achieved this year as a coaching group...

Source hinted at Brayshaw but not as reliable as last year 

Obviously not.

Nothing like some good genetics.

Versatile and can play key back or forward.

[Moonshadow 16,669]

Maybe next year for Brayshaw. A year in VFL may do him good.

Not always:  

One notable omission - Xavier Richards. The Swans forward has gone from playing in a Grand Final last month to being overlooked by every club.

It is hard to believe Mr. Leg but there you are.

I hope for Ben Jarman's sake, the pass rule doesn't apply in the rookie draft, as Crows just passed.

Anyone got an idea why they didn't choose him with their earlier pick? Why pass then get him with the next one?

He will be a trivia question.

[JAG007 163]

So do we automatically aquire Daniel Allsop as a cat. B rookie?

Maybe it is to do with salary. Maybe they get more for being picked in a higher round. Seems strange though.

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,534]

Didn't the club say we were only going to draft two players in the rookie draft?

Hard to believe Xavier Richards would get overlooked in that rookie draft. Bit surprising. I thought he was ok this year, and an improving type.

[Whispering_Jack 28,147]

We fooled them all with the two picks story, didn't we?

They read Demonland and changed their minds.

You know what the second language of the AFL is LDC.

Actually, I'll personally introduce you to him before round 1.

[spirit of norm smith 13,670]

I think Casey Scorps should contact 

Hamish Brayshaw

and six high potential Stingrays that missed out on draft/rookie picks

Bailey Morrish

Mason De Wit

Thomas Glen

Matthew LaFontaine

Danny Allsopp

Reece Piper

I saw Stingrays in 2016 and amazed that Morrish and Piper did not get drafted or rookied. Hope Casey can provide the next opportunity.

[Moonshadow 16,669]

End of the line for Jack Grimes, Chris Dawes and Mitch Clark?

Amazing someone didn't give Grimes a life line as a rookey at least. Good option as a depth player I would have thought.

Found this while googling him to see if he was drafted. Guess the tiges were interested enough to have a highlight reel ready to go?

Sucks for him, but an injury free year and he'll be right in the mix for next year's draft.

[Adzman 2,088]

Would be a good idea to get Hamish down to Casey.  Plapp is doing good things and as seen by this year's draft, a successful vfl team will get enough notice warrant players getting drafted.

Especially like Morrish. Rangy 6 foot 2 Beacy boy. Beautiful kick with a massive leap!
