2017 rookie draft

[Jonesracing82]

Surely the time will come that the rookie and psd drafts just follow the national draft?

What’s the benefit of having it 2 days later?

Then when all the drafts are combined then the natural extension is just having one list of 45, no rookies.

Until ten years later when someone suggests we have a rookie draft.....

Personally reckon the PSD should be scrapped. DFA basically is the same thing but no draft order

That’s okay but I think you mean preseason draft

 

[TigerMasochist]

for me
Trent Mynott ( very good mid)

Not a name that's very common nswtiger, any relation to the Saints premiership Mynott?

Yes sorry the PSD.
P.S edited

Sorry NSW Tiger,

But the AFL website just rated Mynott as one of the ten "best of the rest."
Sambono and Parish were amongst the ten too.

Won't be any secrets among the clubs though I'm sure. My gut is telling me that there will be quite a few recycled players taken in the rookie draft.
Lennon may well be among them.

Not a huge amount left, Stefan Giro would be one player I would consider. Don't think McLean is worth picking up now that we have CCJ. Kreuger likely gone before our pick.

Maybe Matthew Day. Or, I’d go and get the best midfielder under 23 from any state league.

We now have the kids covered, happy to go find blokes who can help us 2018-19.

Stewart Crameri for me good back up plus would fit need in the 2s

Haiden Schloithe is the best state league player left on the board but is 24, maybe worth a punt though, the beauty here is we can trial him for one season and discard if need be. Need to keep high turnover with our rookies.

Who won the rising star award in the VFL? That's the one to go for IMO. If you have a look at the history of the award, they've been pretty good picks.

Bayley Fritsch, drafted by Melbourne already

Fails the no DH policy.

Correct, was evident as way back as his combine interview.

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

Derek smith will be a cat B rookie.

 

[Willo]

Derek smith will be a cat B rookie.

Isn't that only if no one selects him in the rookie draft first?

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

No. I've received word that he's ours.

 

[rombosghost]

No. I've received word that he's ours.

Cool. Can we still take one or two rookies as well?

 

[Jonesracing82]

Assuming Smith will be ours, Giro is one that Champion Data rate so grab him as well. (the fact that Champion data love Higgins makes me even happier about him sliding to us) .
got 1 spot so grab Giro then Cat B Smith
