They just had a quick interview with CAC on the radio - points discussed were that he was very happy to get Cale Morton with pick 4, and the top 4 selections this year are all very good.

Jack Grimes - happy with the decision, great leadership, good runner, and a very versatile player , who he'd like to see enter the midfield eventually. Also a mad Melbourne supporter.

Addam Maric was chosen as he's got a great eye for the goals, and has been able to isolate himself in the goalsquare in junior level - looking for a smart player around the stoppages inside 50.

Kyle Cheney - a strong overhead defender who is as tough as nails, happy with this pick, and finally Tom Mcnamara - tall defender, with good leg speed and strong overhead.

The long pause before passing on pick 73 was caused not necessarily because of Sampi, but because they were considering some u17 players they can't draft in the PSD.

Also mentioned we have selected four AIS graduate players.

Am I missing something or did Gourdis and Gaertner NOT get selected in the draft?

Am I missing something or did Gourdis and Gaertner NOT get selected in the draft?

Thats right. Very surprised about Gourdis.

i'm very happy with all those picks.

every one of the guyz we selected were predicted to be selected higher, so we should be stoked.

Rance was available at 14 and ended up at 18, so we didn't pick him...but i think we wouldv been silly not to pick up Grimes having slipped to 14.

Grimes is a safe bet to become a quality afl player. Great work ethic, great at the 1%ers and elite endurance! best of all, great leader and demons supporter.

we have really got some quality in the midfield now. we still need to add to our key position stocks tho...

in the rookie draft i think we should definitely look at Gourdis, Geartner or Kangers...these players are most athletes than footballers at this stage, but with development could become great KPP

it seems we have used the production versus potential theory. Of the main players we picked they have produced on the feild, rather than they have the potential to be a great player. I love the fact that we have done this. Footballers before athletes...

We've picked footballers first and foremost, rather than speculative athletes.

Can someone confirm how many rookie selections we have?

Thats right. Very surprised about Gourdis.

And one of those WA teams will pick him up cheaply in the rookie draft and probably iron out any deficiencies they might have seen in him that stopped him from being picked today.

Thats right. Very surprised about Gourdis.

Very surprised about Gourdis not getting drafted.

What's the rookie draft order? is there one, or? Coz i wouldn't mind getting him rookied

The rookie draft order is the same as the preseason draft - so richmond, carlton, us, WB, essendon and so on.

id be expecting a ruckman in the rookie draft- Bellchambers perhaps. is a great tap ruckman so hopefully he can improve around the ground.

with White retiring in the next year or two, Jamar [censored], PJ only a backup ruck and Meesan untried, we need to unearth a ruckman.

i'd also be looking at Kangars or Gaertner. true both are shocking kicks, but incredible athletes.

teach them to play and they could be steals. i see Geartner as a tom Williams type...
