Draft Day Discussion

[Realistic Tiger]

Who did we get?
Who did we overlook?
How well/bad did we go?

All those questions can be answered over the next few hours/days.

Whats miller said ?

[Richo is God]

it starts at 10am

[jack_riewoldt_rulz]

it has not started yet???

[Richmond FC]

Anyone got the Video running yet?

[Richo is God]

i do

[Terry Tan]

should we take FRASER GHERIG with a late pick??? gherig full forward and Richo up the ground. it's tempting.

At 31, he could play at least till 34 and kick 70+ goals per year. and At least we wouldn't have to play against him...he usually kicks 6+ on us.

[Realistic Tiger]

Yep running the AFL feed at present.

[TheGlove]

Cotchin FTW!!

[Realistic Tiger]

Pick 2 - Trent Cotchin

[Terry Tan]

great news :thumbsu:

[nugget_12]

common Rance!!!!!!!!!! hopefully geelong pass on him

[turtle27]

Awesome stuff, welcome aboard Cotchy.

EDIT: You'd think we'll take Rance now.

[SolidTiger]

We have got to pick up Rance. I'm glad Geelong passed on him.

[duckboy]

Rance ? Gourdis?

[Richo is God]

so far so good

[SnIcKeRs #3]

Definatly Rance or Selwood we cant go wrong here surely

[Realistic Tiger]

Pears/Selwood/Rance/D.Simpson all available for pick 18. Please take either Rance or Pears.

[Coughlan]

please rance

[duckboy]

We're stuffing around. Not confidence building

[TheGlove]

Rance..nice :)

[davemills]

Yep :thumbsu:

Cotchin - welcome to the Tiges!!

Rance and a couple of other keys have slipped to our Priority pick.

We take...drumroll...........they are taking extra time. C'mon - get it right for the future!

Rance !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Coughlan]

Welcome Rance:thumbsu:

[duckboy]

Rance!!! Awesome.

[richcogs]

OMG we got Rance at 18 over the moon, never thought this outcome would of been possible:eek:

[Richo is God]

rance!!!

[Realistic Tiger]

Pick 18 - Alex Rance

[turtle27]

Rance it is.

[SolidTiger]

I could have not hoped for a better result from our first two picks:). I can't believe that Rance slipped so far.

[jezza]

Happy.

[Realistic Tiger]

So far so good, Cotchin and Rance, now just want to see D.Simpson fall through to 51 and will be very happy with draft day.

[Richo is God]

shall we call today a success

[SolidTiger]

shall we call today a success

Yes.

[Richo is God]

thats music to my ears

[Terry Tan]

awesome so far. Cotchin is the best player in the draft.

[The Dice Man]

Sounds like we killed it for once :thumbsu:

[Realistic Tiger]

Damn Geelong took Simpson, here's hoping another quality ruckman falls through to 51.

[nugget_12]

Has Pears gone yet? i cant recall hearing his name.......51????

[jezza]

Still some good names out there.

[duckboy]

Bellchambers is still around I think. Has Gaertner gone? He'd be a chance.

[Realistic Tiger]

Has Pears gone yet? i cant recall hearing his name.......51????
Bombers took him at 23.

[Richo is God]

he went to essendon pick 23

[nugget_12]

cheers....Geartner or Gourdis would be great...get a ruckman in the Rookie

[duckboy]

I think Weaver had Gourdis as the best KP Forward in the draft. Can't believe he's still around.

[adamania11]

If Richmond got Gourdis at 51 I'd be stoked!

[TheGlove]

Dean who?? :)

[Barx]

Excellent players left for our third pick!

[Realistic Tiger]

Pick 51 - Dean Putt. Bloody happy now. Midfield, KP Defender & Ruckman just what we needed. No need for Richards now

[duckboy]

Putt was Weaver's pick for our #18, so I'll take that at 51. Might still get Gourdis at 67 if we want to use it.

[turtle27]

We've done very well

[TheGlove]

Pick 51 - Dean Putt. Bloody happy now. Midfield, KP Defender & Ruckman just what we needed. No need for Richards now

Geez fair effort then. Sounds like we have done ok this year.

[telsor]

Pick 51 - Dean Putt. Bloody happy now. Midfield, KP Defender & Ruckman just what we needed.

Yep, the 3 slots we needed filled, all filled nicely.


You never know how they'll go, but I'm certainly happy with the 'types' we picked up.

[jack_riewoldt_rulz]

Putt RAnce and Cotchin IM VERY HAPPY!!!

[Richo is God]

did st kilda just pick up gehrig?

[Barx]

In the circumstances, it would be nonsensical not use use 64...we can come out of this with 4 guys who could have been first rounders!

[TheGlove]

did st kilda just pick up gehrig?

Yep.

[duckboy]

yep. Gourdis and Gaertner still there if we want to utilise 64.

[Vince Spadea]

Would someone please be kind enough to post some profiles of who we've drafted from the AFL website & some of the knowledgeable posters on the Draft Board.

Cheers, I'm lazy sod so I can't do it myself.

[beaver fever]

damn. i would have been very keen to offload hyde for another youngster.

[Richo is God]

wtf why did we pass?

[PHX]

Gourdis please please please please.

Screw the PSD.

Gourdis>Richards.

EDIT: **** it. we passed?

[Realistic Tiger]

Pick 64 - Pass. Keeping our options open for the PSD.

[Barx]

Bugger...pass!

[Serpico]

If Richmond got Gourdis at 51 I'd be stoked!

SAY IT SLOWLY...

pik 2: trent cotchin
pik 18: alex rance (WAT A STEAL))
pik 51: dean putt

Psd and rookie draft: GOurdis and bellchambers................


cotchin, rance, gourdis, putt, bellchambers...

DOESNT THAT SOUND GOOD?

[Ruanaidh]

As others have mentioned why didn't we our last pick on Gourdis/Gaertner.
Surely we could have found space for the PSD pick by jettisoning one of our many duds. Or not bothered with the PSD. Maybe the kids will enter the PSD and be selected by us after all? Then there is always the Rookie draft and we have first pick. Overall though I am wrapt with the tigers selections even though I was a Cale Morton fan. Go Cotchy:thumbsu:

Miller was just on SEN. The commentators asked Miller that with the recruitment of Putt if it would mean that Richmond won't be looking at Richards (I hope so). Miller acknowledged that some quality kids have not been picked up in the draft and he will be weighing them up to the likes of Richards for the PSD and we also have the 1# pick in the Rookie draft.

It would be great if we picked up Gourdis and Bellchambers.

[telsor]

Just thinking about it a bit..

Yeah, we needed a big backman, but I would have thought FB was one of the few places we already had someone who was definitely filled that slot.

Rance was probably too good to pass over, having slid that far, and hopefully we can make either him of Thursty into a CHB, but I suspect some of the discussion was about if we needed another FB.

[telsor]

It would be great if we picked up Gourdis and Bellchambers.

Not sure we'd take Bellchambers. From what I've read, he's more of the 'pure' tap ruckman, and Wallace likes his ruckman to contribute more after the bounce than dominate in it.

especially after the Knobel fiasco...

Take Gourdis, Gaertner - either way is vvvv good
