Ryce Palmer - 2007 AFL Draft Talk

[Brades]

Great Source - he probably won't, carnivals aren't everything and neither is the draft camp. He had a shocking U16 carnival and is still being tipped as a late top 10, mid top 20 pick by many people

Tippaz, he is not a Simon Black, that is Masten. Palmer has pace to burn, Black did not.

We'll see. I think he'll go anywhere under pick 10. There is no way he would be after pick 10. If he is, which I doubt, the club that gets him will state that he is a genuine 'steal'.

If carnivals aren't anything to go by then the U16s would mean even less than the U18s.

People have likened him to Kerr but he sees himself more like Cousins.

You are too quick to judge on a player.

EagleRock, of course tey mean something, but they dont mean everything. Larke Medal winners like Schammer and Kepler Bradley haven't exactly set the world on fire have they? Even then they didn't go that high in the draft (Schammer 13th)

I've seen him play a few times, and he moves really well.
He works hard to gain possessions and he can float forward and kick a couple of goals at the same time. There's not much more you want in a midfielder.

How did young Masten go in the carnival?Is he a top 5 pick.What position would he fill?Who is the better prospect Morton, palmer or Masten?

[GreaT SourcE]

On bomber radio ages ago, Adrian Dodoro (EFC recruiting manager) said he'll chose a midfielder with our 6th pick. Forgot to post before.

I was expecting that, I had that move on my phantom draft.
Source ?

[Brades]

No Source.. its just such a fit. His uncle (I think) played there, Essendon has always had such a good fit with Aboriginal players and with the current ones there he can fit in. He also knows Melbourne fairly well and suits Essendons needs.
