The Dockers have picked up some handy looking types in the Rookie draft.
This rookie draft thing looks a bit of a scam to me. Freo have picked up some awesome players in the past, forgoing the national draft. They seem to have hidden players in the past, and used it their good effect. It is something the poorer clubs are unable to do, because they cant afford the player payments, on top of the regular salary cap.

One that took my eye is Darren Rumble. I watched the WAFL GF live, and this guys looked like a ready made player to me.
“A key member of the 2006 Premiership side which completely pantsed the Bulldogs in the Grand Final. At 22, Rumble goes onto the Mature Age Rookie List. He’s held down the full back position at Subiaco as well as for the WAFL State side. “

He’ll be a good player. I’ve watched him at Subi for a few years and he’s a solid, tight fullback.
Probably needs to work on his game a fair bit and wait for injuries etc to get a chance but hopefully he can have a crack.
A subi man as well eh?
that explains a few things 🙂
