While I will admit a Tasmanian bias I reckon that Josh Watts might create some interest come draft time. The kid moves well and at 194 cm he shows to me an enormous amount of upside. The majority of punters would have Josh McGuiness ahead of Watts, but I reckon Watts might surprise a few...

Hi Knightmare It is long overdue that the masses realise that Siggins has enormous appeal for clubs wishing to pick up a KPP. My argument is that this draft which was talked up as a "Super Draft" last year is any but super. Siggins suffers somewhat from the "Bass Strait" syndrome-Out of...

This is probably not the board to ask this so apologies in advance. Stating the obvious "Stewart" is now in a "Curran" situation where he has to hope another club is willing to pick him on the back of an interrupted and less then stellar year. Collingwood can get him if available and the...

I was wondering what the thoughts on Stewart being picked up in the draft this year. Is Collingwood likely to pick him up in either the draft/rookie? Or would other clubs be interested. Obviously being in the AIS says something about potential, in addition to being a "tall". However as was...

I am probably biased on big blokes, but this guy would be a absolute mile ahead of any kid in Australia as the No. 1 Junior footballer in Australia. From his performance against WA this week it is scary how good this kid is and how fantastic a footballer he will be in 3-4 years. At 201cm...

Obviously all clubs have a list rating the players from 1 - ?. Under normal non compromised drafts clubs will pick what they consider the best player for the first round and then round 2 onwards pick players for specific roles and building their list for the future.

I have seen Rohan Bones play and there is certainly a bit to be interested about. It will be interesting to see how he goes this year, as he played as an over age player in the U/16 Mariners in 2011. My gut feel is he will need another year playing as an over age player in the Mariners...

Nice work! I have previously mentioned Josh Grant who will be in the Tassie Mariners U/18 side for 2012. At 196cm (and growing) and an athletic build, this kid will be extremely high on the radar of all AFL clubs. He can play ruck (would need a bit more height at senior level), however he...

Obviously a big kid with some talent. The critical time will be over the next 2 years in regards to his attitude and his body. At 196cm he is probably a bit small for a ruck man, but a great size for a KPP. Depending on height and mobility this kid will certainly be on the radar of AFL...

It will be interesting to see if a club is prepared to rookie a player with so much natural ability, but requiring intensive education about the game. I stii reckon he is worth the punt!!:confused:

Re: Gold Coast Suns You missed Sam Illes. Originally from Clarence in Tasmania. Played for Tassie in the VFL and TAC. Was on Collingswood list before GCS.

Gold Coast Suns Sounds like Aaon Hall is packing his bags for the Gold Coast Suns!!!! They love the Tassie boys in Queensland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

Rookie Numbers Does anyone have a list of the numbers each club has for the rookie draft?:confused:

A really interesting comment which which is not without substance. Musicka was rated pre 2011 season by many as their best player and likely to be the first pick out of Tasmania. Unfortunately he had a few minor issues which saw him suspended from the Mariners squad. However much to his...

I really liked the look of this guy from video footage and he seemed to get big raps from BF posters. I would really appreciate a critical analysis of this guy. Items such as disposal, attitude, understanding of the game. There would have to be a major problem the recruiters saw from him to...

I can only think that there was concern about the difference between the best and worst that Dobosz produces. Which is understandable considering he has only played 2 seasons of football. Also at 191.5cm he may of been seen as being a little short to be a full forward. Apparently was...

Good result for both parties, with Webster a chance to play in the seniors in 2012.:heart:

Good call on this one. Tomlinson was clearly seen as the No. 1 draft for tall talls, with Schade the No.2 going to Gold Coast. Talia went at the right spot as a little over hyped due to his brother playing at Adelaide. Seems Schade is heir apparent for Bock. :rolleyes:

I must admit I was suprised that he was not picked up. I had him as the 3rd tall behind Tomlinson & Schade.

The whisper around is a range of 15-35 is looking a distinct possibility for Schade. Likely to be No.1 pick out of Tassie. Not long to see if the information is on the money!

Fair call IanW on GWS. Probably rate Tomlinson ahead of Schade. Think Talia is a little over rated due to his brother at Adelaide. Also lacking a smidge of height and foot disposal questionable.

You are on the money as Jimmy Webster is a Tassie boy who was in the 2011 AFL AIS squad. James Webster just delistedby Essendon was a rookie in the 2011 season and was from NSW. His father Michael Webster was a good footballer with Glenorchy in the 1980's who did a pre-season with Geelong...

It appears likely Schade will be No. 1 pick out of Tassie this year. He would IMO rate as the No.2 genuine tall KPD behind Tomilson and just ahead of Boseley in a thin list of "tall" talls. At 196cm and an athletic player, his upside is enormous. It will be interesting to see his currency at...

It sounds like Webster will go in the 30-50 bracket, with the Western Bulldogs showing interest in him.

It seems Dobosz has BF writers at odds as to where he might go in the draft. I must admit that he intrigues me as what his currency is with the club recruiting officers. My guess is around the 30-50 range. :)

James Stewart has been selected for the AIS 2012 squad which speaks volumes of the guys ability. Apparently almost over a couple of back stress fractures, which is very common in boys who grow quickly. At around 195cm this kid is going to be in serious contention for a F/S selection in...

Re: Would you pick up this bloke in the Draft? Obviously a longer shot, however I was suprised that Jeremy Howe who also played at HFC was drafted by Melbourne and did exceptionally well.

If you believe the Doggies need some poise and polish in the midfield, this boy may be the answer. I reckon he enhanced his prospects at the Combine with a few top 10 results. Never any doubt on ability, but his body has been a major concern. However he might have timed his run perfectly for...

I reckon another advantage for this kid is that apparently his birthday is 24th December. Kids born late in the year are at a huge disadvantage physically and maturity wise compared to kids born early in the year (and over age boys). Recruiters have tracked boys throughout the year and are...

I will go on record that I believe Crozier will be drafted. However I am just a bit concerned about the hype that surrounds this kid. The mark is sensational and obviously he tested well at the combine. The litmus test for me for a player of his type is how was his overall year in regards to...
