Unlike last year where we had picks 1 and 6 and got exactly who we wanted, this time 'round we're down the pecking order and by the time our selection comes up we'll have a choice between just 2 players . . . and who can tell who those 2 players will be ?
So much depends on who other WAFL clubs want and if the AFL teams agree. They may snaffle the rookies because of the certainty of the rookies being available all year, or they may opt for the best fully listed player still on offer in the hope that they'll get enough games out of them to make some sort of difference.
This time last year I advocated we get Clarke first (pick 6) and then Shuey (pick 1). We managed to pull it off because the Club had remonstrated with the WAFC midway through the previous season over the ruckman moved from WP to PFC at a time when we were bereft of a ruckman. Our requests were not honoured at the time but they eventually effected the securing of Clarke ahead of our number 1 selection Shuey.
This season, I don't mind much who we get as long as he can contribute through the season. I just like the name Bollenhagen, and with Alex Hutchins at our club, Freo might think a former South Australian might help the lad settle in. Pure speculation, of course.
