You’d have to assume it’s Fejo Jnr
BRING
After going through it, even with the benefit of hindsight, I’m not seeing any culpable evidence.
I’ve looked for it, looked for it with the conclusion of Dodoro messed up, but I can’t see it.
Kind of like the eSsEnDoN iS rAcIsT change.
Searched for it.
Haven’t seen it.
Ronald Fejo Jnr
An over-age Northern Territory native who captured attention upon his move to South Australia, Ronald Fejo Jnr has plenty of class and footballing pedigree. With special dispensation, he represented the NT Thunder Academy and Allies this season on the back of an eye-catching SANFL Reserves campaign with West Adelaide, where he also briefly cracked the League grade.
With carving agility and great foot skills, Fejo is a real threat going forward on the outside. He cuts through defensive lines like a hot knife through butter, backing his pace to take the game on and provide each side he turns out for with some genuine attacking flair. While he has noticeable class on the ball, Fejo will be working on building his consistency and adding strength to his frame.
STRENGTHS: Speed, Agility, Class, X-factor IMPROVEMENTS: Strength, Consistency
FEJJOOOOOO
Don’t get your hopes up
Excellent.
Exactly who I wanted to see us invite. Go Disco!!!
Might be a good pick up.
After 18 clubs have overlooked him in the National and Rookie drafts.
Again, personally, and I know this won’t happen so it’s not a hill I’ll die on, somewhere in this country is a 22 year-old small forward who kicked eighty goals in their local league.
I’d recruit him.
Fejo would be nice but he’s not a real forward
Can someone remind me of the point of the rookie draft? What are the differences to a main list? Tenure? Salary?
Looks like you might get your wish
Yay?
Fejo going to train with us i think that’s good news as I read he was going to north a few days ago.
Wish we just drafted him last Friday lol, now my anxiety thinks someone will steal him.
You’d probably be seething that the top 4 choices on your list are still there at 20. Still there at 25. Still there at 30. Still there at 35. One is taken before 40.
At that point you’d be thinking we might get 1 of those players.
Then the three picks before your pick, they are all wiped off the board and taken.
In my mind, it would have been the same deal with our first pick.
Any one of Erasmus, Wanganeen, Sinn or Hobbs would have been fine. If they were all taken, we could flip that pick into a handful of lower picks, but a player slid and we took the player instead.
There was no point us trading down our pick in the 40s because the extra picks wouldn’t be used anyway, so we took who we were looking at for a later pick.
I don’t think we were fixated on a specific player. We had a group of players that were all gone by our pick.
Personally I would have gone Murley, then Lord, then. McDonaugh, Voss in the rookie draft then leave the last spot open through preseason.
I’m no fan of Lord and McDonaugh, but they’ve barely played a game so I can’t really say we got stooges on the picks. We might look back on this as good valuable choices or failures by the middle of next year.
Whether we missed the boat on potential trades is unknown. They may have asked for overs from us because that’s what we do to other teams and because other teams know we want someone at that particular pick so they use it as leverage and see if they can find another team willing to trade more for that same pick. Who knows what discussions are had if any.
We’ve got our players from the draft. Let’s at least give them until the middle of next year (and even that’s a bit of an early call) until we judge the decisions as failures.
Surely there’s Mayo on that. Hawks future 1st is likely top 5….
