2010 draft talk (continuation thread)

[laughingnome]

But the afl.com.au page says we have requested no extra players in pre-season training.

From the Sports News Article:
"Moss was not on the original AFL list with permission to train at a club without being on an official team list.

But it is understood that new Sydney coach John Longmire is keen to examine the young Hawks? talents and AFL potential.

Hawthorn 2008 premiership defender Stuart Dew is into his second season as a development and assistant coach at Sydney and will also have an influence on whether Moss is extended any prospect of staying at the Swans.

Moss is not expected to be taken by Sydney at the national draft conducted on the Gold Coast just three days later, but could be given a career reprieve in the December pre-season draft intake or as a rookie listed player."


Another goal-sneaking forward. I suppose competition for spots is a good thing.

Spangher to train with Hawks - AFL.com.au

I seem to remember that Moss in his draft profile a few years back was a Swans supporter despite coming from Perth. Reece Conca who appears to be coming into calculations with our first pick is also a Swans supporter, again hailing from Perth.

Given our success with Kennedy and McGlynn this year, I'm all for testing out ex Hawthorn players - bring on the two Beau's as well I say!

Unlike last year, there are likely to be quite a few clubs with picks before us in the PSD so actually getting the player you want will be more difficult than Bradshaw last year. It does help however that players like Bruce, Anthony, Houli etc are on the radar of clubs before us in the pecking order. If we really want one or more of these players and they are eligible for the ND then using a late ND pick may be the way to go rather than the PSD although I think a minimum two year contract is needed.

Shaping up for an interesting few weeks.

Someone I know very well played against Beau Dowler at under age and sais he was grossly overrated, mainly due to his physic. His over rating as a draft pick was reflected in his play and application at Hawthorn. Sure he had a set back before he played and that is just another reason for his poor form. Not good enough for mine.

I'm sorry if it has already been reported, but isn't Garry Moss Peter Bedford's nephew or some sort of relation

He's certainly not a Rolling Stone fan. ROR (asian version)

He's a bit light on for getting picked by the Swans. I think the Club has moved on in terms of retirement village.

Reece Conca

Lots of media tips that this kid may be our first pick...link is to a 7 minute interview which should tell us a lot about him, but the musical background makes it incomprehensible to me. If any of you have a solution, I'd love to have it. Vids are at rhs bottom of page 1.

Reece Conca - AFL.com.au

[giant]

I read today he's a chance to go the Eagles @ #4 so it seems hard to imagine he'll last till our first pick?

[lwjoyner]

why would we go for a midfielder when the worry is our backline particularly with worries with CB.
Also should not this thread be part of drafing one.

He may not last until our first pick, but I think there's little chance the Eagles will pick him up at 4.

Pretty sure we're not getting him. Copied from what I posted at BF:

All the talk has been that we are super keen on Recce Conca (WA midfielder/back), but here's an interesting development...http://www.foxsports.com.au/AFL/wa-d...site=FoxSports

This foxsports video that says Conca has been invited to be at the draft camp in person becasue he's one of the top 20 along with Jack Darling, Swallow and Bennell. We've got pick 21. Freo was very keen on him apparently too and they've got the pick before us (pick 20). Unless i've got this all wrong, if you put two and two together it seems like we've missed out on him and freo's nabbed him.

rob eddy is an interesting player for us to consider...........I think he would suit Swans footy (well that is if we continue with similar style of play)

Eddy was consistently top 3 in the running group at Saints and has some experience ie 33 senior games......and can tag well..............i still worry that we have jude, rok and shaw all around 29 to 31........then Kennelly, C.Bolton,Mattner, Braddy all in their last year or two also....... they leave a big hole.........and GWS and Suns have first dibs at alot of talent......

[aardvark]

Strange decision by the Saints getting rid of Eddy. He will get snapped up before we get a chance.
