Wonder who the club will pick up as a rookie?
Alex Villis was rated top 30 before his irregular heart beat was detected. If he is cleared to play could be worth a punt as a rookie.
These are some of the more fancied players that weren't drafted.
Jake Barrett
Hamish Brayshaw
Luke Bunker
Taylin Duman
Matt Guelfi
Ben Jarman
Oscar Junker
Peter Ladhams
Kim LeBois
Max Lynch
Tony Olango
Reece Piper
Xavier Richards
Jack Rolls
Brodie Romensky
Jonty Scharenberg
Zach Sproule
Alex Villis
Sam Walker

With the club resigning Lambert, Ivvy, Butler and Batchelor on one year deals, must obviously rate those guys ahead a player we would land with the second rookie pick. IMO should have got rid one more at least.
Bunker and Junker related?

Richmond would have known yarran issues, took a risk regardless. All im saying is bioshop also originally didn't rate rioli or markov when we picked them last year
If the club knew of Yarrans issues then he wouldn't have been at the club full stop.
 
Out of respect I'll keep things to myself- but clubs need to make sure they do their full homework on players : not just their on field stuff, but their off field stuff too.

Are you saying that he has mental health problems? Cause that's the first I've heard of it.

Secondly, I've heard the rumours about his want to remain in WA but that has no significance to Yarran who was never home sick and played with distinction up until his mental health issues occurred in another state.

So I'm a bit lost by your reference. I agree with you both on field and off field knowledge of player is important and there is some doubts over him coming to Melbourne but he was my next best player at that pick behind Poholk.
 
Sam Walker 185cm 79kg Defender
Matt Guefli 182cm 77kg Midfielder
Mitch McCarthy 196cm 94kg KPD
Jonty Scharenberg 183cm 81kg Midfielder
Zach Sproule 196cm 88kg KPF

One of the above 5 are the players I'd hope we've got in mind for the rookie spot we have. Personally I'd like McCarthy as that bigger bodied KPD or Sproule as another bid mobile KPF. To me that would round our list off nicely for the 2017 season.
 
Bolton hasnt even played yet and already picking on the guy.

Welcome to bigfooty. Where any dickhead reckons they know more about these young blokes after watching 2 games or just looking at stats than the recruiting team that have been following these kids for years
 
From what Old_M8 posted
I wonder what we were trying to do?

PICK 22: JACK GRAHAM (SOUTH AUSTRALIA/NORTH ADELAIDE)
Champion Data says:
Graham outmuscled everyone at the national championships, winning the equal most disposals of any player. He is not only strong on the inside, but he can be explosive as well, gaining the second most metres of any midfielder.

PICK 24: SHAI BOLTON (WESTERN AUSTRALIA/SOUTH FREMANTLE)
Champion Data says:
Bolton was the best ball-carrier at the national championships, gaining 431 metres per match. Importantly, he can also win his own footy, recording a contested possession rate of above 50 per cent in the WAFL Colts.
 
Sam Walker 185cm 79kg Defender

Zach Sproule is the one I'd take pure based on our KPF needs. Was touted to go in the top 30 by some so I don't mind having a go at him.

Not to be rude and I respect your opinion but do you really think the club would have less info than you regarding his personal life? They would have spoken to his family, teachers, coaches, team mates and made a decision.

Surely having guys like McIntosh and Roili on the team will help him out as they are also a long way from home.

Time will tell- would love to be proved wrong- But I know enough to have my say.

Lebois, Scharenberg, Walker would be three I'd like.

Think Villis won't be picked - Olango as a ruckman showed enough to take a punt.

I got Rioli wrong- happy to admit defeat with that one so far and I wasn't the only who had him that late- Few clubs had him in the 40s+.

I liked Markov.
 
You're joking surely? Does anyone at this club have any ****in idea what they're doing!? Absolute joke


:rolleyes:

No sir I cried for hours when told of this news last night, moments before collingscum read out his name

I would not joke about such a serious subject matter as Kirby to Richmond

I am unsure if it is a fact or not hence in asking again. However it would not im surprise me as it seems a very moronic, rihmond ype thing to do

I too would just like to say a big FU to the dog-afl cure or pricks that allowed us to have Kirby this year ... If no one drafted him... in the national or rookie draft ... Meanwhile the franchise teams are allowed half the best kids in the nation scam

Yeah, it won't stop till GWS win a flag...

But wouldn't that mean he doesn't get to play afl next year?

Sucks he went to Collingwood but Kind of tough on a young lad to say, put your dream on hold for the sake of our club. Pretty happy with Graham at pick 53 after him regardless. We have enough pace and smaller forwards now. Needed a younger inside mid
