The Official 2011 Fremantle Draft Thread

[Bad Brain]

I know I should trust Lloyd but I'm a bit gutted. Really wanted Kersten.

 

[Scham]

A midfielder and 2 flankers.

Surprised Markworth is still there.

 

[Righteo]

Pissed we didnt take Kersten, can he slip through?

Not to 58....he's already slipped and is slipping further.

 

[IbbosBFF]

oh man if Chris is happy then I am not so sure anymore.

Got a feeling we will still get this Kersten guy you all want

 

[shiny_on_top]

Wow. Talk about some over reactions by some fans. I'm very happy with the picks.

Some of you are claiming to be draft experts slamming our picks, yet don't know who Tom Sherridan is? Wow. Talk about being hypocritical. Also, Crozier is a great prospect. Very Fyfe like.

 

[Drummond]

Forster's a very good get, stop stressing guys.

Broke into our (Norwood) league side at about the halfway point of the season, and didn’t look back. Excelled as a 3rd tall, very rarely beaten in 1-on-1’s, is very good at getting a fist on the ball to spoil, and he is a neat user of the footy. Very disciplined, composed, just gets the job done.

 

[Moo]

I'll back the selectors, and there are other picks to come

 

[leungtl]

Hill to Hawthorn at 33!

 

[strobe00]

Trying to figure out why we went for those guys. All I can figure is that we're height-ist. All are 6'2 or taller.

Clearly that's some kind of set-in-stone criteria for our drafting, because nothing else seems to make sense.

Question 1: Can you get the ball for yourself? No? No matter.

Question 2: Are you 185 cm or taller? Yes.

We'll stop there then...

Yep, we'll have this bloke!

No need for a KPP. They grow on trees.

 

[leungtl]

There goes Kersten to Geelong at 34.

 

[inferno66]

Man, two smalls and a running backman

The first two picks are not that small... they are both around 185 cms. It looks like our recruiters favour picking up medium size utilities that have good fitness and clean skills.

 

[Moo]

Hill Hawks

Kersten Cats

 

[yakka man]

Tom Sheridan is one of the fittest players in the draft.

 

[Kenny_01]

Lol @ responses on here. People had a sad when we selected the unknown Fyfe @ 20 two years ago. A lot of you have never watched a full game that these kids have played I bet.

 

[kBuck]

Doubt he will slide that far. But I've been completely wrong so far!

Cheers for the info mate.

Sheridan is one of the better contested ball players in the draft.

 

[tb_fanboy]

No key forwards yet...could be saving a late pick for Fev..makes you think!

I fly across the country each week and have seen them all on multiple occassions.

For the record I had Sheridan and Forster the other way around.

You're making Kim Hagdorn look like the smartest man on the planet.

So what you are saying is that we dont need a key forward and we can stick one of these 3 dwarves at FF next year.??? Dont we have an abundance of running players under 189cm???

This is seriously pissing me off. We have lost the players that I wanted after getting 3 shots at them. Not to mention ZERO West Aussie boys. Shithouse!!!

 

[Moo]

Who do we pick for you to wash my car?

 

[RickSanchez]

As the start of the thread said, we'll see who will look stupid. Very likely I will and i'm fine with that as long as the club made the right choices.

 

[yakka man]

Some good players are sliding.

 

[strobe00]

Sheridan is one of the better contested ball players in the draft.

Thank god.

Hadn't bothered to read up on him much. Nice to hear.

Cheers for the info.
