Would that really matter? no days there would be a heap of players playing footy against the side they grew up barracking for - from what I was told Chad Wingard was a Crows supporter but the way he has played against us everytime you would think different!


Well personally if I got a gig playing for South Adelaide and was interviewed after my time there I'd say I was a North Adelaide Supporter for most of my life EXCEPT for when I was playing in the same league against them! ;)

Hang on, I'm confused, if he's been supporting the Power all of his life he must only be 18.
Isn't he 20+?
So he barracks for sides against his own in the same league and lies?
Hmmm, not good credentials. ;)

Only three clubs had space on their list for a cat B rookie.

you get that from the FB trades page?
Those blokes make stuff up. Not one club in the AFL has the full amount of Category B rookies. You can have 3. Most clubs only have 1.
Reese Maxwell is expected to be drafted as a cat B rookie as well.

All good.

I find it heartening that clubs are actually taking interest in the guys. Means the whole exercise has some purpose other than just being a tv show. Obviously remains to be seen if any of them actually play a game, but even being on a list is somewhat a success

Can see your point about entertainment but id much prefer them to scout the SANFL better. Would be atleast 50 players in the SANFL of a better standard and more worthy than Wagner. Unfortunately most will never get a chance

Are they doing a 2015 recruit series?

I havent heard anything.

How is the recruit winner from last year going? Is he close to getting an afl game? Any of the other finalists making an impression anywhere?

Not close to getting an AFL game but really is improving quickly. Getting a lot more of the ball, playing up the ground a bit more.

Not sure getting 8 touches a game justifies his spot on the list. He would be miles of getting a game this year or next
