Pick 9 ND 2012 – Who should we pick?
- Thread starter AstuteTiger
- Start date
Watched the draft but must admit from pic 50 onwards after our 4 pics i wasn't paying to much attention, so can anyone confirm whether Garlett was picked or overlooked....
Rory Atkins went at pic 81 to the Crows think they did well, thought he would be snapped up at around pics 30 to 40

I guess this is the difference between being a watcher and a recruiter.
The background checking and personality testing on these young players now is becoming a major aspect of the game.
Eg I would has at a guess our club would think that the recent recruitments of the likes of Connors, Taylor & McDonald have been substantial distractions despite having some clear ability.
Footy is just so professional these days and lists are turning over so quickly that unless you can be seen to fit the system, you may well get passed over.
The risk factor is being minimised.

Heard he was a party boy but that picture takes the cake. What's worse is that he was stupid enough to post them on the internet.
Do you remember in the days before social media that you had to wait until someone got hit my a taxi in King st at 3 am to work out why AFL clubs thought someone was a knob?

Well Garlett has been invited to train with Essendon, I'd say he's certain to get rookied and will have 12 months to sort himself out. He definitely won't be at Richmond.
