The unlucky ones?

[footyman]

Quick look (correct me if I am wrong) but those who missed and were considered good chances:

Luke McEntee
Alan Toovey
Tim Looby
Tom Rischbeith
Daniel Dzufer
Matt Thomas
Jace Bode

Others like Shaun Grigg, Matt White, Ryan Jackson, James Wall, Angus Graham also miss out.

Who was most unlucky?

Ryan Jackson would have to be pretty unlucky they would all be chances for the rookie draft though.

 

[HBF]

According to Mat Burgan, Luke McEntee was very unlucky. Wouldn't mind Calton having a look at either Toovey or Looby in the rookie draft.

Who was most unlucky?

I'd say Markovic wasmost unlucky, if he didn't do his ankle he would have gone top 30 IMO.

 

[bomberbluey]

Can't believe Matty Thomas and Tom Rischbeith missed out... Must be guaranteed rookie spots surely!

 

[footyfanatic007]

Angus Graham

 

[g-man]

todd grima at one stage was a top 20 pick

 

[mattyc2422]

Suprised Rischbeith slipped through.

 

[crazy_big_al]

they will all go in the rookie draft

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

Toovey would've been drafted if he was 1cm taller.

 

[Embers]

Poor Toovey, definetly the unlucky one there, will be rookie listed , but that is only if he enters the rookie draft.

All unlucky but will give the clubs some very good talent to pick from for the rookie draft. From a Carlton supporters point of view I hope we take two midfielders with skill. Jackson, Bode, Dzufer and Rischbieth would be handy. I kile the 2 back-flankers in Toovey and Looby. Wall could be anything in the future, very mobile for 198cm and play as a key forward, key defender or in the ruck. He will be a very good player and if a club is willing to give him some time to develop then they will reap the rewards. Essendon most likely at this stage, maybe with Hawthorn also keen.

Richmond had like 40 players training yesterday and PR

I would not be thinking positions with rookies, it's not like as if they are even going to be able to make it onto a senior list but even so - I say go for broke!

If you are in the national draft then you are automatically in the rookie draft if you are old enough.

 

[Killer_Lions]

Dzufer, Kannis. Grima, White very unlucky.

 

[SimonH]

The number of big kids from Qld this year makes me suspect the water supply up there.

Here is as good a place to ask as anywhere-- I know you have to be 18 to be rookie drafted. The question, though, is: 18 as of when? If the answer is 'at the date of the rookie draft' then Julian Kannis misses out by a whole 2 days. Geez, you'd be feeling stiff. I would love Sydney to rookie a guy of his description as well.

 

[xxxlr8]

Ryan Jackson with out a doubt

 

[tigers1au]

Daniel Nicholls, small but can play.

This was one person I was surprised to see miss. I would have thought Richmond would have looked at him as Richos replacement.

I would rather his brother Nathan

 

[oldcat]

McGuane, Crook (falcons) - very unlucky with the year they had. Fingers crossed for rookies

 

[foj1]

In terms of overall talent and ready to play- Jackson and White
In terms of long term potential James wall and McEntee.
how stiff were the calder Cannons? Wall, White, Graham, Neaves, Bowes and Sam Robertson all had legitimate draft chances. This was the year to play division 2 and come from Queensland!

 

[Ants]

Brisbane and Sydney get preferential rookie picks on locals, correct?

If so, who would qualify under this, how many picks do they get, and does this apply to any other interstate club?

 

[Lingsface]

toovey couldnt of done anymore to be drafted bad luck.
Also i think that someone has ********ed up not drafting Brennan Mills have to be considered next year.
