Waylen Manson

[snaps truly]

Slowly slipping down the order with another lacklustre performance on the weekend. Fair enough it was pissin down but didn't show a lot.

Fair effort from Fev though, kicked seven of his team's nine goals.

 

[GoodOne]

Well 9 pages later and he wasn't drafted in the main draw. Not surprising really given his history already of going walkabout and documented attitude. Anyone think he might secure a rokkie spot?

Yes but hopefully not by us.

 

[Scoop]

Yes but hopefully not by us.

Rookie spot? I would take the punt for sure.

Me too!

 

[tigertim]

Yeah, a rookie spot but not by us.

 

[snaps truly]

Pass for me. A close checking quality defender would have a field day. Doesn't like the rough, tough stuff.

 

[zippadeee]

Yes but hopefully not by us.

Manson apparently broke down and had a cry at the draft camp. After that I'm not surprised no one pulled the trigger.

Well, he's called Waylen Mason for a reason.

article in the nt news says he wasn't that devo, still expects to get drafted, as he will.

I expect him to be rookied and i hope it is by us.

Our record isn't great with Indigenous players and our luck has to change ( ONE DAY ) . That day i hope is with this excitement machine.

Just imagine a forward line with this kid in it. He could bring fans through the gates and bums on seats. I would get him to board/live with Shane Edwards and the other kid i would rookie in Wheeler and try our luck.

That's what rookie spots/picks are for. Our fortune has to change.

The club said they will look at a few they thought would have been drafted but weren't. I wonder if Manson is one of those.

 

[waiting]

Tigers of Old - i hope he is one of them !

Yep, he cried and wanted to go home.



WAYLEN Manson was in tears the first night of the draft camp.

The indigenous forward had arrived in Melbourne with little more than the clothes on his back and a dream to play AFL.

But after his first day, being physically tested and questioned by club recruiters at Etihad Stadium, Manson broke down. He wanted to go home.




Even his mentor, a footy co-ordinator from up North stated that he wouldn`t last one year if he moved to Melbourne.



"If he was to go to a Melbourne club and relocate next year, immediately, as most draftees do, I would go as far as saying he wouldn't make it," he said.

"He wouldn't get through one year."

I hope we won`t draft him, massive alarm bells on this bloke.

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

We ignored our key indicators when we selected TT, and were burnt. I'm sure they won't risk it again.

 

[Willo]

A bit too much high risk/high reward.
We're not in a position to gamble.
Just get more "good ordinary" players that will have more of a chance of adding depth and covering needs

Now I know why they call him 'Waylen' Manson.
