Picks 50 & 66
Pic 50 think Nick Robertson would be a good get, a mid who is hard at it and has great endurance. Strong overhead and doesn't mind kicking a goal....191 cms, 18 years old, 88 kgs can also play as a hard running back....
Pic 66 seems we will use this pick on Nathan Batsanis (VFL layer) who is a pacy mid/winger, 25 years old, 180 cms

Hopefully. FJ must be due for some success with a late pick.

Re: Picks 50 & 66
Is he really that pacy? And I would have thought we'd be better using a rookie pick, there's very little chance he'll be picked up by another club.

Re: Picks 50 & 66
Well yes he does posses pace but not saying he is lids or Matty white super quick....agree I'd rather pick him up as a rookie but the club may feel that he'd go in the early picks of the rookie draft and have probably settled on grabbing him, hence they are likely to use pic 66

Re: Picks 50 & 66
Correct me if I'm wrong but do we have to give him 2 years if he's picked up in the ND?

Re: Picks 50 & 66
Not sure i thought mature age players taken late you could sign for one year but i could well be wrong....
If the requirement is 2 years they might still do it barring in mind base wages....

Re: Picks 50 & 66
Not if they are mature age.
Btw I would have thought Batsanis wouldn't be worth anything more than a late rookie spot.

yep last pick should definitely be used on a skinny untried 18 year old who probably wont make the grade. ;Dtigertim said:
Seriously though, if the draft is as shallow as some media make out, perhaps a mature body might be the safer way to go. Although a mature body isn't a guarantee either. It will be very interesting to see what happens.

Ben Cavarra is one who I think we could pick up very late, he won the Morrish and was best afield in the TAC cup final. As to why he was not invited to the combine has baffled me. Mitch Honeychurch is the same size but 5 kg lighter than Cavarra, so it couldn't purely be based on physical stature. His carnival was also decent averaging 22 touches and he knows how to win the contested ball. If guys like Hrovat can get picked up as early 2nd rounders, there's no reason why Cavarra can't be given a rookie spot.

The Morrish doesnt seem a great predictor. Only 4 winners in 20 odd years have made a decent impact at AFL (lenny hayes, nathan brown, kreuzer, heppell). I wonder why?
