the grint

Who are the blokes who went 2 & 3? Havent seen them play more than 5 games between them

Hence the "begin to see" :D

So that Petracca kid.. poor bloke looked like a trapped sheep in his press conference. Cant believe even the journo's brought up that training footage. Since day 1, endurance has not been one of his strengths. Got a whole pre-season to go before we even begin to see what he can do.

Petracca could play the role Ablett plays for GC. If CP turns out to have half the skills Gazza has I'll be happy.

Nah i think brissie passed on him..

What do we reckon about Matty Panos? IMO hes worth a look as a later pick.

Havent seen much of Mccartin but if we couldnt orchestrate a trade could we pick him up? Dawes, Hogan, Mccartim

Sorry guys I didnt mean to cause any heart pain. Just thought id post what I heard

Luckily it was Jon Ralph so hoping its just a journo trying to run with a whisper

Just announced on 1116 that Saints will take Petracca. Would we take Brayshaw and Mccartin?

Just re-read the article and you're spot on rjay, seems like everyone is the next someone haha!

Ahh ok, no I havent seen him play but they talked him up in that article on the AFL website "Medium midfielder whose athletic traits allow him to continually outwork his opposition. Uses the ball very well by foot and has good game sense. Averaged 19.3 disposals, at 69 per cent efficiency in three matches at the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships. Plays for the Sandringham Dragons in the TAC Cup but was eligible under state of origin rules to play for NSW/ACT."

Im sure this has been brought up but if hes available at a later pick would we take Tyler Roos?

Just read that article on afl.com.au about drafting players from outside the normal pathways. First 2 players listed could be rookie listed as replacements for the likes of Evans, Nicho and Strauss. Hidden draft gems of the state leagues - and the bush Ed Morris, Casey, 18, 178cm, 71k Won Gippsland Powers club champion award last season and has immediately adapted to life in the VFL, racking up big numbers playing through the midfield and up forward. A fierce competitor, Morris laid the most tackles in the TAC Cup last season. Morris might be looked at by a club that needs some midfield grunt, such as St Kilda or Melbourne. Nick Rippon, North Ballarat, 20, 177cm, 81kg The former North Ballarat Rebels' best-and-fairest has been on the radar of AFL clubs but missed out in the previous two NAB AFL Drafts. Rippon represented Victoria Country at the under-18s championships and has impressed at VFL level. The classy midfielder is particularly damaging with ball in hand forward of centre and makes excellent decisions. Could be useful for a team like West Coast which is crying out for skillful midfielders.
