Only two from claremont invited to National Draft Mitch Mc Govern and Francis Watson only 12 in total from WA.

That is no suprise considering WA performance at the recent carnival......dont forget Waterman will go to EP as a father/son pick, I guess that is a done deal and all the other clubs know that.......I'd say as a first rounder too.......reckon Cl should give the kid a debut soon though, if you guys dont he will be remembered for making his league debut as an EP player!

I don't think waterman is as much a certainty as you think freezin. There may be concerns about his lack of size and pace... Actually that's the kind of player the eagles like to target it seems.
Brenden abbot will be drafted, hopefully not by a local club

Waterman was subject of discussion on the broadcast last saturday and all three commentators said what you have stated. I have seen last year and again this year and frankly he is not what any AFL team woulod be looking for, lots of possies but use is an issue.

I would have thought hardisty was a certain but what would I know!

Really short on pace is what those who've seen him keep saying, but knows how to get the ball.

a couple of the dad's of EF colts players reckoned the same ...gets a lot of it but is slow and may get found out at the highest level
