    For the Ressie Watchers.

    Update for those who care:

    Kane Murphy has gone to Norwood in the SANFL
    Ben Haren has gone to Port Adelaide Magpies
    James Brain is also at Port Adelaide Magpies.

    The SANFL is a good place to get a second shot at AFL the draft.

    Thanks Primms.

    Good luck to all 3 of those boys.

    Brain was close to BOG at one of the Lakeside games last year so he has some talent.
    The amount of lies men tell would decrease significantly if woman stopped asking questions.

    I hope we see all three drafted in the future.

    Murphy has picked a great club to go to if he wants to realise his dream of playing in the AFL. Nick Lower, Sam Rowe, Simon Phillips, Nick Duigan and Paul Puopolo were all playing for Norwood when they were drafted by Freo, Port, Carlton, Hawthorn, Carlton respectively.

    Nathan Bassett is coaching Norwood. Pretty impressive apparently. After all they were second in the minor round. Unfortunately they didn't go on with it.

    Murph was told that he was knocking at the door when he should have been bashing it down. He was given advice and guidance by the Swans footy department on what to do to leave no stone unturned, so I assume that the other boys were too. I look forward to seeing what happens next!

    Thanks Primmy, I care.

    Agree that the SANFL is a good comp to try and raise your game to the next level and get noticed by recruiters.

    Is Murph draftable under Father-Son?

    Awesome. I hope we have a look at Murphy in the future.

    Interesting question. Presumably he is, unless there's some sort of age restriction.
    Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!

    Swap around Hawthorn and the last Carlton...

    His dad was no teenage debutante, so perhaps the family matures slowly?

    So how does it work with our academy going forward re selection of draftee's ?

    ie with the academy how do we get priority on players under the draft system?
