TOPIC:

SS of course 2 drafts is more than enough, I mean how many clubs pass on draft & rookie draft selections.
These clubs have had 46 players on their list of which anywhere between 8-12 dont even play 1 game a season for the majority.
Even in a pandemic year how many clubs played all 46 players on their list or got close to it?
They have now reduced the lists to 44 which is still way too many especially as they are supposedly trying to save money after this Covid hit year but then have to pay extra players and development coaches, actually why do you need development coaches for the supposed "elite comp" anyway????
Surely the players should all be ready to play League footy straight away in an "elite comp"?!?!?!

They should all have a list of 40 maximum (most use about 36 ave a season) of the best available players none of this rookie or Category A/B crap, those types should be left to the State Leagues to improve their football.

I'm happy that Jayden has missed thus far.
Sorry for him but happy for the Club.
Yes some drafts to come but for now we can be happy.
Have a good year at Lathlain Jayden and who knows.

As for O'Driscoll, congrats to the young fella, I guess the Perth fans won't appreciate him cutting up Perth's midfield next year for Peel....though looks like the sort who easily play AFL from the off next year.

It's not Logan I feel sorry for.
It's O'Driscoll going to Freo.
Feel sorry for any kid being drafted there.
Consigned to spend an AFL career with a joke of a club.

Cerong feeds it out to Fyfe, Fyfe hands it off to O'Driscoll who wheels around on his left boot and puts the Fremantle Dockers in front in the Derby. And there is the final siren folks. That's all she wrote!!

I think he may debut for us in 2021.

He could have a similar impact to Logan McDonald, has similar traits, like Logan has put on a late growth spurt and can play key position or ruck. Fingers crossed he plays in the WAFL in 2021 and be a better footballer for it than getting lost in the AFL system too early.

I agree, and can see him solving our CHB problem!

That's what I thought Satan.
The tall defender we are looking for.

They didn't come much better back in those days.
