So what did they see in him to take him at pick 28 or whatever it was in the first place?

IIIRC DVR was rated as about a 25-50 range in phantoms

Exactly the same thing we saw in Christian Howard: a beautiful kick in an open field.

I don't get a whole lot right with juniors but he was one I never understood the fascination with. I was expecting him to fall to the rookie draft. They messed up that draft to an incredible extent: Boekhorst at 19, Viojo at 28, Clem Smith at 60, Jayden Foster at 63 and Tutt in the PSD, then Gowers, Walsh, Fields and Russell in the rookie draft. Every single one of them gone only two seasons later.

Did Boekhorst get chopped also?

I'm pretty sure he's still OoC but, on second thought, I don't think he has been officially delisted yet.

 

[immortalmike]

You do realize Barry Hall was a redhead, i will let you tell him of
his shame and best bring the dog.

Baz shaved it for that very reason. He's a smart man.

 

[gangsta deluxe]

They'll give him another contract, surely. Hasn't been appalling, and they seem reasonably happy.

Redpath has played and trained in defense before. It wasn't a great idea.

One of the reasons why dogs hated the alignment with Williamstown

Yeah it was ridiculous to play him there just because Williamstown had too many forwards.

You said Christian Howard, i'm calling the mods, oh.

Williamstown never developed KPPs for us

Our KPPs as a whole have significantly improved since Footscray was introduced

And if i recall was force to play development footy for half a seaosn

Its a odd opinion but reckon if dogs had their own vfl side, alot more players would have developed better.
Not saying they would still be on our list but players like Hooper, Panos, Skinner, Hill etc would have been suited for a role instead of thrown around

 

[immortalmike]

Along with some other players.

Grant, tutt, wallis, All our KPP

Didn't JJ play some dev league?

Gowers and Walsh weren't bad rookie selections, and Gowers is still a chance to be re-rookied. He's a decent prospect, I reckon he still has a slight shot of getting into the first team. Needs to get more midfield time; isn't being developed well enough off half-back.

 

[wian]

Jayden Foster delisted today from blues? Any chance of a rookie lifeline?

Just love the romance of it TBH

yeah, almost every dogs player played in the development league

Doubt it but i would throw him a VFL Life line alongside Dojo-Rainbow and play them in their actually roles.

I've just been thinking about delistings, and I'd like to bring Hugh Beasley up again. Just look at his attributes:
191cm, 86kg
2.86sec 20m sprint
Very good one-on-one
Can play on medium forwards and genuine KPFs

Sound familiar? I reckon he'd be a good mature-age rookie option to replace Hamling. A really good option. Victorian too. Was harshly delisted by Brisbane after the season, injury issues have kept him out of the AFL team. Was rated highly by Brisbane posters.

 

[Bont2Bruce]

Guys who have played their entire career as a forward don't suddenly become reliable quality backs....its the hardest position to learn.

I highly doubt Cloke would be able to make the transition.

Unless their name is Chris Grant.

I do like his name, although I know he isn't actually related to Simon.

If anyone was special it was Chris.

I wonder when Bontempelli eventually retires who the best Bulldog of all time will be...

Agree mate was very stiff to be delisted.
