Best 22 of players recruited outside the under 18's

[bomberdude18 2]

So I've been off work sick for nearly a week and I'm getting pretty bored. So I thought I'd make up a best 22 of players recruited from outside the under 18 system. There's probably a couple of guys I've missed, but here it is so far.


B Baguley S. Thompson Rampe

HB Hibberd McGovern Tuohy

C I. Smith Zorko Hanley

HF McGlynn B. Brown Bell

FF Crameri Jenkins Dickson

R Sandilands Barlow Vandenberg

I Ad. Saad Mzungu Nahas Mumford

E: Puopolo Blicavs Podisadly


As you can imagine not many out and out stars, but plenty of good solid players who'll always have a crack.

 

[Tom Kerrigan]

Not enough Priddis

 

[Struggle]

Dale Morris

 

[ZEV]

Considering nanas is on the rookie list I hope you have next week off to work on this team

i've got Nahas on current form. He's been fairly decent the last month or so. But he's probably no. 22 on the list.

 

[Furn2]

Stratton ??

HB Hibberd McGovern Rampe

HF McGlynn B. Brown Bell

FF Crameri Jenkins Dickson

R Sandilands Barlow Priddis

I Ad. Saad Mzungu Vandenberg Mumford

E: Tuohy Blicavs Podisadly

 

[Eshay187]

Podisadly pretty lucky you'd think.

 

[Hawkas1988]

Stratton is such an underrated player. How a players like Morris or Touhy are being chosen ahead of him seriously baffles me.

Also Puopolo has been a better player than Dickson.

 

[master bate]

Plenty of ruck talent to choose from. But (with respect to Brown and Jenkins) it shows key forwards are usually blue chip products.

Was it mainly application not talent that saw McGovern passed over?

Also Harry Taylor counts doesn't he? Slot him in at CHB. Stratton to compete for a spot in the backline as well.

Jeremy Howe competing for a spot at half forward or half back as well.

 

[Mervyn Beasley]

Are you talking players who didn't play under 18's or whom were drafted at a later date?
If so you might squeeze Mitchell in there somewhere.

 

[Strahany]

Needs more Sam Fisher

 

[Scotland]

Lewis Jetta
Matt Priddis

 

[Schauermann]

Ballantyne?

 

[VolgaBoatman]

Ballantyne?

Lee Spurr ?

Dale Morris is an All Australian who is closing in on 200 games. I wouldn't be so baffled

 

[soupaman]

L Picken should be in the mix.

 

[Chaisa]

McGovern shouldn't count, was 18 when he was drafted.

Also, Harry Taylor should be there somewhere.

 

[catstorm]

Surely Harry Taylor is your CHB.

 

[Docker82]

B. Stratton, Thompson, Spurr
HB. Hibberd, Taylor, Picken
C. Jetta, Barlow, Smith
HF. Zorko, Westhoff, Hanley
F. Crameri, Jenkins, Ballantyne
R. Sandilands, Priddis, Mitchell
INT. Mumford, McGlynn, Sutcliffe, Mzungu

 

[getgaff]

I like the idea bomberdude18 2. Haven't got as much spare time on my hands as your good self currently but I'll see what I can rustle up.

 

[Buzzasto DaSilva]

If the criteria involves players who were eligible to be drafted at 18 but were overlooked until the following year, or even later; then Sloane, Mitchell and Harry Taylor would have to be in the side

I think Taylor IN, McGovern OUT would be a popular exchange. I don't think Mitts qualifies.

Andrew Swallow is another midfield qualifier. Missed being drafted in 2004 as a under 18 player than went back to WAFL senior and reserves levels. Midfield is damn hard to crack into but

 

[00Stinger]

Bernie Vince & Jeremy Howe?

Cam Pederson also

Also Puopolo has been a better player than Dickson.

When was the last time Puopolo kicked 7 goals in a game?
