WA Watch - Who you'll see come draft day

[Bombers1234]

Anyone heard of Kieran King from East Freo? He's underage but seems likely to go 2nd/3rd round.

Went to the Swans vs Falcons game last night and found myself sitting next to the Woodies. ( West Coast recruiting team)

Obviously they like alot of recruiters were again gobsmacked by Natinui's ability, just copius amounts of raw talent.

Some of the things he can do for a man his size are just ridiculous.

Looking past the obvious, three other swans were being closely monitored.

Jeff Gartlett.
Chris Yarran
Im not sure how you pronounce his name but Wolfenhousen, I didnt get a record. His game caught the eye of Sumich who was also there.

Firstly, Jeff Gartlett is a skinny wingman capable of playing foward when required, Davey like speed and a solid attack on the ball for his size. Does the basics and works hard both ways. If he continues with his early season form he's definitely a chance to get picked up.

Yarran, I was a little dissapointed in his game, had plenty of space and only finished with 2 goals. I might be being a tad harsh but I didnt think he worked hard enough. It was only when he thought he was a chance of snaring a goal that he turned on his afterburners. And speed he has. Everything he did was silk, great skills, clean hands and set up a few. Just needs to do more.
Im a big fan so I could be a little harsh.

Wolfenhousen - Great runner, good pace, nice skills, very slight, tackled well and has some real aggro about him. It was Sumich who asked about him and then told little woody to keep and eye on him. I liked his game alot. Very quick, good below his knees and handled some close attention well. Could be a smokey for a late round pick or Rookie listing.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

cruize garlett was 173cm and got picked up @ 30 last year. Kerr was picked @ 18 around that height. With the form he's in, if he can keep it up someone will take a chance on him in the draft for sure

Just to clarify, Garlett was taken in the Rookie Draft, as opposed to Kerr in the National Draft.

Very accurate summation of all three IMO. All 3 have great skills, wolfenden, like Garlett, is very slight, but he was one of our most important players in the colts premiership last year, I believe.

I, like you, was a little disappointed in Yarran's work ethic last night, but he still really reminds me of a young Chris Lewis, where he glides across the turf and turns it on when he has to but often doesn't look like he's exerting effort. I am also a very big Chris Yarran fan so maybe we are being too critical?

 

[swannies]

Was also impressed with Josh Pullman's efforts at CHF last night, in very greasy, slippery conditions his marking was pretty good and strength around the contest is good as well.

 

[Robbo24]

Another kid I liked that I had never seen before this weekend was Blight from Swans. Racked up 17 possies and 7 marks and I reckon he was on for 1/2-3/4 of the game in pouring rain. Robbo24, did you get a look at him? Number 17 he was.​

Yer he played a good game especially in the wet weather... done a few good things for a young lad. State 16's Last year in teh beackline.

But im not sure weather he would make it far in the draft, hes abit of a pussie any injury he gets, broken nail or something ridiculas he carrys on like a pork chop haha thats what my sources say down at swans ahah

but nah, hes got talent draft i dont think so, rookie possibly...

 

[Snoop Dog]

Was in the west this weekend and had the distinct pleasure of seeing Naituni play - FM if this guy is not a champion in the making. Rich clearly also played v well on the weekend but both are going to be the 1 and 2 picks. Have not seen anyone better going around.....

Gartlett looks good and Yarran is a v nice mover and looks like he has come on since champs last year when i last saw him.

 

[swannies]

I think I've mentioned him before but Jetta, from Swans, had another good game on the weekend, along with Walters. Just looking at the stats more closely Jetta had 27 possies, 10 marks and 9 inside 50's.

I don't know whether it's Chris' Lewis influence at Swans, but we seem to be getting a lot of exciting young indigenous players through the club at the moment.

 

[The Grover]

Do any of the WAFL matches get shown on TV in Victoria?

Love to see Rich,natanui & Yarran in action

Do you mean Brett Wolfenden, great player and so was his brother at High Wycombe, it would be great if he can get drafted,

MAGNIFICENT SEVEN

Yarran when he looks like Tambling.

Yarran looking like Mcleod's twin.

Matches are not shown any more by ABC2, due to some ridiculous decision, but the WAFL clubs have copies of the games you can get from them. Not sure as to the cost, or anything like that, but will enquire when I go to Swan Districts on Friday for the Anzac day game.

 

[fev13]

I cannot believe nobody has chucked the name Walters in there, absoulute freak from swan districts.

Yarran will go alot higher than 3rd round.

Fasolo from east freo similar to greg williams and moves through traffic well with super skills.

I dont know what club could resist somone like swift.

Jetta - Swans
Brennan - East Freo
Baylis - East Freo
Grieson - East Perth

 

[fev13]

Can someone help clarify something for me? some guy came onto the Tigers board and has said apparently the Tiges can draft Kane Lucas under the father son rule, does anyone know if this is correct? I cant find anyone with that surname that has played more than 100 games for the tiges,has he maybe used his mothers maiden name? personally think this guy might have been taking the pi$$ but thought I would just ask

No fact to that at all.

Fasolo from east freo similar to greg williams and moves through traffic well with super skills, a little slow though.

Jetta - Swans

Baylis - East Freo
Grieson - East Perth

Yep, I rate him very highly as well...Had him top 10 (No.10) in my early top 10 predictions for this year...

This is my prediction of the top 10 from this early stage, though not even sure if they are all eligible....

1. Naitanui
2. Rich
3. Hartlett
4. Suban
5. Swift
6. Hurley
7. Cornelius
8. DeBoer
9. Trengrove
10. Walters

 

[Sico 17]

A few unhappy scouts at Bassendean yesterday. The colts game was highly anticipated between Perth and Swans who are both undefeated. With it being Anzac Day the fixtures had only the colts and league playing on Friday, so the colts was to start at noon instead of 9am.

On Wednesday night both teams decided to play all three grades on Saturday and the colts went back to a 9am start. The only place they announced it was in a small story on the Swan Districts website.

A few scouts actually flew over to watch the game but by the time they arrived the reserves had already started.

Most didn't even bother hanging around to watch Big Nick, Yarran and the rest in the league game.

Really Sico? Surely they would have rung the club? Ah well, they missed another very good game from Neville Jetta, Dylan Harvey in the ruck was pretty good and a host of other midfielders, like Walters (but I am sure they know what he is capable of). Boy can they run. Lance Daly kicked another lazy 6, but not sure he's draft material? Seemed to benefit from the work of the small runners a lot, without working overly hard. McLaughlin was pretty good, as were Crabtree and Elari for Perth.

 

[Silvagnis]

Does Yarran play mainly onball or forwardline?

Another quality small midfielder who is a match winner like Mcleod wpuld make the world of difference when Judd, Murphy, Gibbs, etc. are quiet. We have plenty of taller midfielders who are good inside players and can win the ball, but we need another Simpson to run and carry the ball down the ground.

Is that Yarran?

Playing more forward at the moment, but when he does run and carry it's usually quality finish.

I reckon you're more talking about a Garlett. Speedy wingman who's been in pretty good form the last couple of weeks. Sort of like a Alwyn Davey type, in that he will also chase down from behind, but has looked good running at the opposition defence from midfield. Although I'm fairly confident that Yarran can do this as well, but he's tough inside, can win his own ball and likes to be 1 out in the forward space.

 

[Sico 17]

The WAFL website, the fixtures from the start of the year and even this weekends budget says the game was to start at noon. They should have done more than just have one sentence on the bottom of an Anzac Day story on the teams website.

Even when they rang Roberts (who is General Operations Manager of the WAFL) he had no idea it had been changed. Or at least that is what he told them.

Cheers.

We have alot of injuries and not much depth, but I can't see Carlton being poor enough to get a top three pick to get Hurley who is the man we need.

I'm gun shy about Carlton picking another Hartlett when Adam has had a bad run with injury.

I have to say, Garlett was very impressive on Friday. Still very skinny and not overly tall (lanky) but has great hands and is pretty quick.

Does anyone have any idea if he's on the radar to get drafted?

will probably start his career in the forward pocket or on the foward flank, then gradually be introduced as a midfielder, much like gary ablett jnr and ben cousins.
Naitanui is averaging 12.75 disposals, 21.25 hitouts and 1 goal per game up to round 5 in the WAFL
Rich is averaging 14.6 disposals and 1.4 goals
Yarran is averaging 17 disposals and 3.25 goals

That's just the type of player with X factor we need.

Small and a tall in no particular order please Mr Hughes.

Rich is averaging 14.6 disposals and 1.4 goals

Good effort when he's 6 months younger than Rich and playing senior footy against men.

Kreuzer, Judd, Gibbs, Murphy, Simpson, Walker, Stevens, Betts and Yarran. *tissues*

We just need a CHF like Kennedy for a Yarran to crumb to.

LOL.

Naitanui has to go at one to Melbourne if he's averaging 21 hit outs per game against men.
