Possible Late Picks

What's your lad's name so we can keep an eye out for him?
It's only the u15s at this stage. If he makes it through to the u 16 squad this time next year I'll put his name up here.

Exciting he is in the system though. He has a lot of potential.

Thorpe would be a 1000 times better then batsanis
One dominated VFL for years. One couldn't touch it at VFL so went to play against spuds in Tassie.

Batsanis dominated in the VFL? News to me.. Maybe in the 2nds, but not in the seniors.

Was one of the best players in a team that won multiple premierships. Thorp meanwhile couldn't get a kick.

But we wont use 66 only using the first and 50 and 77 on petts
We have delisted 5 players by my count: white, tuck, McGuane, Derickx and Nahas. We have added 2 players: hampson and Petterd. Doesn't that leave 3 picks?

So assuming we don't use pick 68 (as clubs like to keep a pre season pick up their sleeve) does that mean we,re only going to use 2 picks?

Yes we will. Quayle's article is wrong. If that were the case we'd use 66 to upgrade Pettifer.
 
Not sure if possible so would be good if someone who knows chips in

OUT: White,McGone,Derickx,Tuck,Nahas
IN : Hampson
4 open positions

Why would we upgrade Petterd to the senior list in the ND when
1. We can have him still on the Rookie list for another year
2. Just upgrade him in the PSD if a better player not available

It might be Batsanis at pic 66 i hear but id much prefer to rookie him and pic up a kid instead like knight, maginness etc

1. He earnt it.
2. They'd rather promote him for 1 year than give a spud 2 years.
 
What if that Spud is say for example
Karpany,Wilson,Lang,Holman or Sokol still on the Board

You wouldnt be drafting 1st year players just to look at them for 1 year - You would be looking to see what they are capable of after 24-36 months

Petterd isnt going anywhere and pretty sure he can be looked after with either a senior list upgrade during the year

locked and loaded. we don't need late picks

H most clubs are taking 2 live pics as most recruiters have stated that the 2014 draft is a quality draft plus free agency too next year a lot of talented players will b up whether anyone can grab those players is another story....

I'm ok with 2-3 live pics and a couple of rookies as next year we may well take 4-5 players in the ND and a few rookies...
 
the club must think Pettard is closer to the best 22 than we think - and then if there are no injuries, can he still be upgraded in the first half of the year?

Otherwise, agree keep him as a rookie.
