Plays with Murray Bushrangers(Kosi also).

Key Position/Ruck.

Should go top 10.

Check with Border Barry?

In this years TAC Cup McEvoy played FF and was beaten by Travis Dulic. Dulic might be a future FB for us? Worth a look.

Apparently this years Selwood is a crash and bash type in Junior Footy. Not the same as his brothers. I would prefer Rioli, who is also a forward as well as on-baller. Very clever apparently.

i had a close look at young joel selwood in the grandfinal.........he was involved in about 75 % of their goals....very, very creative player...i'd take a punt on the 4th one.....

ps young houlihan wasn't given a fair go....

I'm fairly sure Selwood will go after our first pick and before our second. There are more talented players out there.

Agreed on that one. Pick the player, not the name.

from a big footy poster.....

"Get yourself a Selwood.

Adam - Premiership player 06
Joel - Premiership player 07
Troy - On the Lions list in a premiership year.
Scott - ?'

...also say an article in an interstate paper about the top five players to watch at this years draft camp....selwood was one of them......

rioli is fairly versatile

he has played half back, wing, onball, half forward, forward pocket and even full forward for scotch this season.

would be a good, different replacement for Hamill, i believe he is about 180cm...extremly quick on a lead and can take a grab (high flying marks are also a feature, took the APS mark of the year according to many on bigfooty.
But then he is also an excellent player at ground level and with his agility and clean hands...also he isnt your average outside indiginous kid, fairly solidly built and lays some great tackles

if essendon pass on him im confident we will be able to snare him with pick 9

stinger · Post: # 469951Post **stinger** » Thu 04 Oct 2007 8:06pm

ps...i would have drafted young everitt on the strength of his name and from watching him play for victoria in last years interstate under 18 games........i would have been right on the money.......the boy will be a star...just like young scott selwood.....

Oh When the Saints · Thu 04 Oct 2007 8:15pm

Scott Selwood might still be around at our second pick.

There are 10 better players than him in the draft in the opinion of everyone I've spoken to or anything I've read.

I'm yet to see him in a Top 10.

Not saying he won't be a good footballer, but he is nowhere near the player that Joel or Adam are IMHO.

my les foote · Thu 04 Oct 2007 8:17pm

Maybe he could be as good as:

Mark Greene
Mark Sarau
Anthony Harvey
Ben Schwarze

satchmo · Post: # 469958Post **satchmo** » Thu 04 Oct 2007 8:24pm

If any more Selwoods get drafted, they'll have to name a position on the ground after them !

Animal Enclosure · Thu 04 Oct 2007 10:11pm

McEvoy, Rance or Rioli would fit one of our many needs nicely.

Scott Selwood looks like be a 15-25 pick.

seen junoir play a little bit. Not entirely convinced that he would be an on baller in AFL. Very very skilled and clever though. When the ball hits the deck its game over for opposition defenders
