Toast Pick #22 Welcome to Carlton Joshua Bootsma

[Aphrodite]

Welcome to the Blues Josh

Former Club - South Freemantle/South Coogee Junior
D.O.B - 22/2/1993
Height - 190cm
Weight - 74kg
Position - Defender

Rebounding defender with good closing speed and long, penetrating kick. Team orientated and spoils well. Makes very good decisions, taking the right option with the ball. His 2.98 seconds for 20m at the National Draft Combine showed his natural speed. Father Brad played at Fremantle.

Another defender

 

[Gravyman]

From utube highlights has a nice kick on him.
but if i were to video me having 6 kicks a year i'd also look like the second coming of bootsma himself.

THE GREAT BOOTSMA.

This is his description on the Draft Tracker:

Seems like quite a good pick-up if Yarran does move up in to the midfield. But as someone else has pointed out, GET HIM IN TO THE GYM!

 

[Jimthegreat]

Just what we need, another 190cm defender, and a pretzel at that.

He's here so let's hope he goes well for us.

 

[ericma]

How many reboundng defenders can one club have? same theme each year

 

[blueboy25]

looks and plays like Dustin Fletcher

 

[smashbox gill]

Dont know if im happy with this, last thing we need is another half back

 

[gandaal]

Another HBF?

 

[Couper]

Welcome Josh
But i am stunned by this decision
Best available huh?
Not in this instance
And yes I've seen this kid play

 

[Poseidon]

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooootsssss

 

[Beloved]

With his pace, he could be the perfect bloke to take on medium-sized forwards if we can get some muscle on him.

 

[Juddrockz]

Just odd if you ask me!

 

[smashbox gill]

bloody hell.... Kersten, Murdoch, Marksworth, Elton were all still available. Dont kno if im happy or not.. havent seen enough of him to make a comment. but IN HUGHES WE TRUST

 

[No1Suspect]
