On his current injury / incident rate, it is safe to say Hayden might not be so Young by the time he gets to string a season of games together. Never a dull Docker moment at Purple Park so its time to Restump Podcast all the latest happenings.
We previously wrapped up the first day of the draft but now we look at the productive day two.
Stone Henge and Matthew Johnson sliding to pick 21…. two eternal mysteries! With Mundy’s somewhat foreseeable retirement and the now risks of Fyfey’s longevity, we’ve potentially filled future needs with Erasmus and Johnson, who may receive the baton when required.
We couldn’t be more excited about Eric “Roy” Benning’s prospects in years to come. Is there a bit of the Clem Michaels or the Paddy Ryders about him? We can only hope so.
And lastly, did we potentially pick up our much-needed winger, Karl Worner, in the Rookie draft? He might need a little polish on his long kicking game but it looks like he has the skills, the clean hands, the overhead marking capabilities and the tank to potentially be our Ed Langdon replacement.
In non-draft news, Hayden Young suffered a small setback which must be frustrating him. Sadly, the Irishman, Ultan Kelm, is no longer coming out to be rookie listed. Apparently he didn’t want to do the six months quarantine ordered by Emperor McGowan!
Round one fixtures are out and we’re off to South Australia on a Sunday afternoon to play what should be an interesting and potentially tricky game against the Crows.
Sean Darcy is apparently in better nick than he has ever been, David ‘Old Man’ Mundy begins the journey to his 19 season and we have a chat about coach JL and a possible contract extension.
All that and we bring it home with another “Ask Jojo” episode.
So, if you’re bored and looking for some entertainment to get you through the down times…. let us know if you find a podcast that provides it. Meanwhile click play on this one and kill some time.
