Where will Guy Richards play ? Ashley Sampi will most likely go to tyhe wafl. Tommy Langford trained at Hawthorn and was not picked up. Will he be back at Port or play for Box Hill ? Any others who were not drafted that have not comitted as yet to find a club ? Maybe there will be a few late recruits to vfl clubs.

George,you must be wrapped Richmond didn't fall for that dud Richards,should have been in Willy 2nds all year. Think I read here that Langford going to Tassie? Now's the time for VFL clubs to swoop on some players who missed out. I see Andrew Williams has ended up at Beaconsfield,would have thought he'd have gone to Casey but not the case.

Cartledge played with North Ballarat this year, Robbo.

Don, I would have spat if Richmond picked up Guy Richards. He is a dud that's for sure. I think Sampi would be suited at a club like North Ballarat. Maybe Port Melbourne or a Frankston can try to get Sampi. Guy Richards could end up anywhere from the vfl to a local comp or amateurs. Would like to know which players missed out on the draft today that have yet go a club for 2008 ? Besides the obvious ones. Did Port pick up Nathan Batsanis ? He played for the Oakleigh Chargers in 2006 but went to SA this year. Could be a good player for Port. So far Williamstown have recruited the best for the 2008 season. Matty Little, Dean Galea, Jackson Barling, Callum Urch and Jason Cloke. Box Hill have done well especially with Digby Morrell. Port if they can add another two or three on top of Mullins, Okeefe and Dillon will do ok. Bendigo have lost a few and could struggle. Geelong has lost a bit of their depth. Casey a bit of experience.
