AFL Draft Live! Thread

Just saw the Sam reid footage. Looks like Barry Round (same haircut) plays like Andrew Dunkley.

I think we have found our new fullback. What a big lad.

A big round of applause for our recruiting team - DONE GOOD !!!!

A very good night.

According to Scott Clayton we're the winners of the night.

SYDNEY: They?re the winners. For what they set out to do, they delivered. Gary Rohan and Lewis Jetta will get some speed and excitement into their team. Sam Reid is a very good chance to be an elite tall defender.

Except that we've lost our two lead hobbits over the last couple of years.

Do McGlynn and Moore count as replacement hobbits?

TDL (or H2)

If he's a real excitement package we may hear people cry out "H2! OH!" then "I think I wet myself".

Interesting comments.

Scott Clayton is generally regarded as the best spotter of young talent in the AFL and he leans towards exciting, fast, skilled players.

Both Rohan and Jetta are right up his ally.

OK, so now to the important business: nicknames!

Rohan = Red Rooster
Jetta = Jet Black? Or is that too un-PC?
Reid = Book? Sax?
Sumner = Bay? As in Byron Bay?
Dennis-Lane = Hyphen II, H2, Hyphen-mini, TDL, UDL, Download

[Bloody Hell]

Reckon we drafted a couple of the WA boys together to help stop them being homesick.

I agree - and a group of aboriginals together as well...very, very smart recruiting by the Swans. Dinner at Micky O's with Goodesy first Sunday of every month me thinks.
