Mid season rookie draft 2023.

Post by F111 »

With Davey and Jones out for the season, we have 2 spots available I believe?
What do we need to target, do we get best available or do we pass?
Are Narkles skills on our wish list before anything else?

Be savagely ironic if he nudged past Quinton,unless you chose them both.But you guys only have 1 pick I take it?

We hate to lose him,given we only just got him back from Injury last year,all object to the Midseason Draft(no WAFL Supporter in their right mind likes it,let alone Perth Supporters),but if he has nominated,gets picked up,good Luck to him!

I guess we’ll find out if he stays with us,or heads elsewhere on Wednesday evening,when us WAFL Diehards tune into WAFL World at 5PM,on 91.3Sport FM.

Be buggered if we’re going to hear it on part time AFL Radio(6PR)!

He'd likely fill the role Jones plays I guess.

Begs the question ...how many picks do we have?

afl.com.au wrote:Essendon, Fremantle, Geelong, Hawthorn and the Western Bulldogs started the season with an open spot on their lists, and season-ending injuries could see Port Adelaide (Mitch Georgiades), West Coast (Jai Culley), Greater Western Sydney (Darcy Jones and Adam Kennedy) and Sydney (Sam Reid) open up a spot. Richmond has a vacancy due to the retirement of Jason Castagna.

And more spots could open up ahead of draft night; as reported by AFL.com.au earlier this month, the uncertainty over Paddy McCartin's most recent concussion and Bomber Harrison Jones' injury troubles could potentially lead to those clubs having extra picks.
Clubs have until Tuesday, May 30 – the day before the draft – to open list spots.

Look After him Gang!

He worked his Arse Off from Injury just to get on the Park again!

Hopefully he kicks a few bags of Majors that Benefits Essendon Greatly!

We’re going to miss him Greatly at Perth!

What are your thoughts on him - say in comparison to Logan McDonald?

Young fella with Great potential,playing in a Ressies Flag before Injury cut him down long before 2022 started.

Come into the League Team and started straightening our Achilles heal up,resulting in him being a Target to kick to and us being a chance at Winning more games.

Surprised the heck out of me that he got looked at that quickly and you could hear the collective groan from all our Supporters,as we were looking forward to see him kick about 50 or 60 for the Season,with Stack nearby,we could have done some damage!

Not quite in Logan’s class,but I reckon he’ll provide a Target to kick to,if given the Opportunity!

Logan’s younger brother Connor is in an Undefeated Colts Team,teeing off against usual suspects Claremont in a Top of the Ladder Clash on Saturday Morning.

Is Adrian still in town?
