[CURVE]

There is another Teakle in the Draft, Tiana who is a 177cm utility who can play forward or back.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Wait 36 picks and they put the ****ing bombers logo on our players name.

And then spell her name wrong.

Welcome Claire!

Welcome to North Claire.

Welcome Claire. Gets to learn off some pretty good forwards. Wonder if we take a defender with the next one.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Looks taller than her listed 181.

 

[Luke72]

Is Dojiok still available? I hope we take her

[HongKongRoo]

Yes, thought someone would have taken a punt on her

 

[shinboner magic]

Mahony

Calendar team will be happy.

(Oh back off I said the same about surfer boy Urquhart there's room for all types on the KC NMFC calendar)

I’ll be waiting for your apology with Vicki wall and LDU by your side

 

[King Corey]

The premiership team has a certain gravitas in the draft, players picked up knowing they're going to the real deal.

Bloody weird having that feeling again after almost 30 years.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Cap and tshirt arrived and are getting a run.

While everyone loves a high draft pick and knowing a gun is coming to your club is great, I much prefer knowing that we don't actually need that and have improved a powerful list with astute trading. The drafted kids have less pressure on them and I bet they are pretty happy knowing that they can take their time in the best system. When they are ready they will be ready, although Claire's hands look insanely good and Amy has speed to burn.

Also, NMFCW VFLW would be pretty happy to hold onto Dojiok. Hope she has a huge year for us.

Go Roos!

There was a lot of "hasn't played much footy until recently" in even some of the 1st round picks, some due to injury and some due to coming from other sports late. Don't get me wrong, they look really talented like Zippy Fish or Molly O'Hehir, but they will also be coming up against Tripodi or Gatt types who have got more years development on them.
The girls we draft won't be thrown into the fire straight away unless they are good enough and get to learn their craft off some very good players. It may even fast track those later picks quicker into very good players.
