Who do you think we should pick up in the rookie draft ?
Are there any potential Bocks or Porplyzia's floating ubder the radar that we can snaffle up ?

I have been watching some replays of th U18 National carnival and there are 2 SA players who I think are worth consideration !

Firstly, Matthew Martin looks a likely type . Potential long term replacement for Rutten .
Has he looked the goods for Westies ?

Secondly, a roving forward pocket called Mardling (I hope that is correct) looks a likely type.
Great crumber (however, quite small). Could be a Matty Bode typle clone.

Spewing Fremantle got Chris Hall in the 70's. would have been a massive coup in the rookie draft.
I am sure the crows will be closely watching his progress ?

Interested to know if there any exciting types in the SANFL we may get our hands on ?

i can tell you first hand that Matthew Martin is going to be a gun, unlucky not to be picked up in this years draft.

Also a young fella by the name of Alex Kinal might be worth a punt from the Double Blues :-?

Bio: A tall, strong marking forward who is good on the lead, Alex Kinal possesses a penetrating kick. He has been used at centre half-back and in the ruck to good effect throughout 2008.


:D

sounds good.

Another tall.

With the addition of Davis, McKernan, Young & Lee coupled with Tippet, Walker, Maric, Moran, Griffin, Hentschell etc talls are looking phenemonal.

It Sure puts a 2nd year 1st round draftee such as Sellar under the spotlight.

Great trading options in the future if these boys kick on.

Bloody hell I hope "etc" is a star as 5 have not played a game,2 can't cement a place in the side ,1 may never play again and the other 2 are very average at best......the only thing phenomonal here is extent of the expectation :shock:

I hope Matty Martin gets picked up by the crows as i think he has some serious potential. He is a great size and has great pace for his size. It would be a bonus for the bloods as well if he were to stay here.

Would james boyd from south be worth a punt on the crows rookie list?

Martin will go with the Power's first pick IMO.

Look for the Crows to nab Jamie Sheehan.

The Crows will take 186cm former basketballer Ricky Henderson.
