You don’t recruit 10 point players to be depth or project players.

Bird will not be 10 point player.
He is a Colt from an amateur competition.
The last 4 have a bit of work to do.

No worries I was only going by what other posters saying he was 10 points.

Leaves points for a quality recruit.

Spot on although I think we might be getting close if the WCE boys get cleared.

Draft hasn't been held yet.
Yes they have number one pick but he has not yet been drafted.

Are you a lawyer or something DF. We all know the draft hasn't been held yet it's obvious the point here is he is a certain out, guaranteed, absolutely zero chance of playing at Lathlain next year!
I have only seen him play the one game against us when he was solid, promising, kicked two I think. He didn't kick any big bags this year. What do some of you Perth boys think? Is he a certainty to be an AFL success? Bearing in mind that there has been a fair few young sensation key position players that don't turn out as hoped, Watts, Mcdougall, Gumbleton and many more. I just wonder if Mcdonald may drift a bit away from top 5 or 10 picks.

Yes I know he is likely to go very high in the draft.
But he is not an out until he's out.
That's all I'm saying.
He kicked a bag of 5 I think it was his first or second game.
He's good kid I think he will develop into a very good AFL player.
