Crows Rookie Selections discussion thread

[Campbell's Chunky]

Freo take Jay Van Berlo....

 

[Rise_up_Stiffy]

Jay VanBerlo to Freo! Noooooo

 

[crowsarethebest]

No. There will only be one VB though.

 

[Vader]

I've created new threads for discussing Henderson & Schmidt on the main board. The best posts will get copied to new player threads in The Locker Room once the dust has settled.

Donnelly already has a thread in The Locker Room, so I don't see the point in doubling up.

 

[cmndstab]

Hopefully the club will give more info about Henderson... he seems to play for basketball than footy.

The definition of a project player. Only played five games of football. Kicked seven in a half once!

Hawthorn have Rookied Matt Suckling
Not the one they used to have on their rookie list but a different one

 

[Vader]

Interesting.. the Live Blog on Superfooty (news.com.au site) says that J Tippett went to Hawthorn, not Brisbane.

Still waiting for the AFL page/list to update for confirmation one way or the other.

EDIT: updated now, Superfooty are completely clueless.

How long do we have to wait to get a response from Rendell as to why we passed our third pick?

 

[Dujon11]

Pfeiffer - What a wasted pick!!

 

[Mego Red]

Hmmm - no one took Sharples. We must be at the top of our salary cap, SURELY and have been advised before the draft that we only had room for two selections. Otherwise, there seems no downside to taking a Klemke or O'Hara or Allwright (or even Sharples).

 

[Geoffa32]

I reckon if we had a charity match against the Sixers we would go allright this year haha

 

[Mego Red]

cmndstab - you win my vote for poster of the month. *

It has to be the Salary cap, otherwise why? Makes no sense.

 

[Brett_Burton_#24]

well Charlie Sharples never got a mention I guess he's playing back at Sturt next season, will probably try the system out again next year

 

[cmndstab]

It has to be the Salary cap, otherwise why? Makes no sense.

Surely we, of all clubs, don't have a salary cap problem.

I mean, after we cleared out so many players last year and picked up a bunch of youngsters, and then again got rid of a bunch of older players this year, we must be able to afford a rookie.


Appreciate it Kristof

 

[J-Ro-20]

spewing young Bock and Van Berlo got taken!

Very interesting to see all the crows names being floated around today! Skipworth, Pffeifer, Obst, Bock and Van Berlo!

Good to see crows have picked up Schmidt. Ive seen a bit of him first hand in our local Mid Murray comp when he was playing for Robertstown. Looked like he might go alright at AFL? see how he goes in the SANFL for Westies.

The Sixers would probably ask us to bring the ball. Can't afford them at the moment.

"We rated Pass in our Top 3, just below Henderson and Schmidt."

 

[WALL-e]

"We rated Pass in our Top 3, just below Henderson and Schmidt."

Gold

 

[cmndstab]

"We rated Pass in our Top 3, just below Henderson and Schmidt."

"There were three good passes in the draft, and when Brisbane swooped on the first two we knew we had to get in early to secure the last one."

 

[Truck Rutten]

Rookies don't come under the salary cap do they? Isn't that part of the reason the Tigers wanted to shift Polak to the rookie list? We mustn't have rated anybody who was still available (apart from Donnelly who we'd already committed to) when our 3rd pick came around.

I'm a bit disappointed we didn't get Bock jnr. I thought he looked reasonably promising in his highlights vid.

 

[Pietmans]

I'm disappointed in that the two selected are around the 190cm mark again and there has been no attempt to take on small or medium forwards.

Surely Sharples would have been worth a look, and unless I missed him in the main draft Ian Richardson seems to have gone undrafted. He kicked 58 goals last season in the WAFL and was B&F for his team. Worth a punt?
