2017 AFL Rookie Draft

Featured Replies

McInerney went to Brisbane

 

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.

Versatile and can play key back or forward.

Nothing like some good genetics.

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.

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

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.

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

They read Demonland and changed their minds.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

 

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!

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
