Rookie Draft

[pansies]

Today Carlton are playing with 8 players from their 22 who were originally drafted onto the rookie list.

Michael Jamison
Simon White
Jeremy Laidler
Aaron Joseph
Jeffery Garlett
Andrew Carrazzo
David Ellard
Edward Curnow

Also Eddie Betts was drafted via the Pre-Season Draft.

Everyone always go on about how our team is full of number 1 and first round picks but has there ever been a team with that many players picked from the Rookie Draft?

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

The reigning premiers had Jolly OBrien Blair Maxwell Toovey Wellingham and Maccaffer come through the rookie list. That makes seven. Add Tarkyn Lockyer and that makes eight. They all played in Round 20 last season.

You really cant count jolly when you guys gave up pick 14 for him via a trade.

[Scotland]

We're not playing this week but had 4 in last week's side:

Nicoski
Priddis
Cox
Lynch

We also have:

C Wilson
B Jones
Strijk
Stevenson
Hams

in contention for a spot this year (there are other rookies yet to debut at AFL level).

Cox the real success story of that lot. Priddis & Lynch were overlooked because they didn't look like they would improve a lot at AFL level (arguably proven to be correct), Nicoski was overlooked because he was physically not mature enough at 18. Strijk or Stevenson probably have the most potential to become decent AFL players.

Who would be the #1 ruckman in the AFL without a rookie list system?

Op is counting laidler and its his thread, so I will count jolly.

Heath Hocking (rookie)
Nathan Lovett-Murray (rookie, via collingwood rookie list, that didn't work out, got a 2nd chance through an indigenous scholarship)
Stewart Crameri (rookie)
Ben Howlett (rookie)

Tom Bellchambers (PSD)
Kyle Hardingham (PSD)
Michael Hibberd (PSD, not played yet, will soon)

Those are the ones we have in or around the side. Of the other rookies Taite Sliverlock is perhaps the only one who could make the jump.

 

[Tas]

Pre-season draft is not rookie draft. PSD goes to the main list. It is like counting 6th or 7th round draft picks as well.

 

[Phone]

I think it's worth counting in the same breath. Afterall they're done at the same-time. It's much the same really, except you get a bit more money.

Doesn't count when just about all of the listed players wouldn't get a game in many of the top teams. Well done for trying- but you can now pack your trumpet away.

The need to be a smug arseh*le is strong in this one...

No, the PSD is an extension of the regular draft.

So all or most Of those players who played against your mob a few weeks back and lost by 28 points would not get a game in a "top side" get a grip you bigot

You do that Timmy. No one is stopping you.

 

[Zahasouvlakis]

Thanks again.

Our pleasure. Kyle's having a great year in defence so far.

Having a much bigger impact than that 'Barlow' character that we passed on..
