I would say speed is what they lack with the outs in this year trade. Maybe they will grab Cockatoo the pricks, that is what I am dreading

After Pickett you would think. Cockatoo would still be there at 14, earliest he goes is 16 to norf...unless you can convince our blokes to take him at 12

Pickett would be a lock for WC at 11 being a local kid. I rate him in the top 6. I wonder if a club will take him and believe they can over come any go home factor

Hope so. Puts another better player on the table at 12 if they do!

Just hearing the fallout from this trade period, its a little depressing lol. The reality simply is the famous 6 we re signed were either not wanted by other clubs or offers were low balled. Spewing about Sando getting the arse from the crows. If he had of still be coach McDonough would have gone for a second rounder. We nibbled at k Harper from norf but to little to late.

Will be a interesting delisted and rookie drafts. We need a inside and outside mids so thats two at a minimum. I am going to hold hope, till the end of all draft periods before i either dance or lose my s**t.

Thanks but I meant do you know who we want in the draft?
The last 3-4 years we have heard pretty far out on who we are keen on

no shocks with this - with DFA, more and more clubs seem to be waiting for this trigger to occur than the good old round 6 trades of years gone by

Yeh i would think they are after him, won't get past WC at 11 and probably us at 12 too exactly what we need

I like Donut. Has a bit of silk about him. Certainly don't think a second rounder would've been a clear win.

Yep, agree. Don't think trade period should be judged in isolation from DFA signings and the draft.

lol no dude. I think we just grab a cup with two 20 sided dice with names scribbled of each draftee on each side. Then we throw the dice on a table and the names that pop up is who we go after. Obviously we do that system after our round one choice . I live in perennial hope as nothings permanently bad and everything improves but to me Francis and Blair have this year left on my free card. If Francis again stuffs up several picks outside of the first round, well, i will vote for a change.

If Blair does not get a nugget or two in his main drafts again he should be moved on as outside of his initial successes, he has not done much.

I really like Harper, liked him in his draft year. Exact type we need, however apparently he struggles with having to play within a system.

 

[captain cotch 9]

With pre-determined father-son and academy players removed, the Tigers’ ‘exact’ picks are 11, 30, 46, 62 and 79.

i really think its Norfs system that is ******* him over. Is he still in contract ? Hope not.

 

[richolovesgoal]

What's the word on Liam Duggan? just did a quick read-up on him and sounds pretty good to me. Anyone got some more information on him?

If we had the choice of Pickett, Cockatoo, Duggan who would people want?

Pickett but he wont be there

Yeah Pickett won't be there. Cockatoo vs. Duggan - personally I'd go for Duggan. Cockatoo is just too unknown. Certainly wouldn't be disappointed with him though.

 

[bananatigz]

Wouldn't be disappointed if we took Cockatoo with 12, but i'm happy if we don't. He's the hype player of the draft, every draft has one, and that takes him from a guy probably 20-30 to most likely in the first round. Simply put there will be better players available at 12 than him. That said, despite the hype and everything else, he is the exact type we need, so while he might not be worth pick 12, he might be worth closer to that to Richmond.

Crows must be after a KPP - Marchbank or Goddard. At ten they were with a chance to get one of the top rated mids. I would have thought they would have held 10 in the hope of picking up Durdin.

Wouldn't surprise me if Cats were after Pickett or Ahern. Perhaps now with GWS having 3 picks another KPP player might sneak into the top 10.

Makes sense as Cats lost Christensen and Crows Rutten.

Thing that worries me a bit about Cockatoo is his injuries. Will they continue?

Contracted until the end of 2015, but North are thinking about delisting him with the promise of a rookie contract.

If this is the case we could potentially steal him

 

[partycorolla]

Well without really knowing anything about the players in the draft other than what I have read on here and the net in general.... I would love us to take a risk on Cockatoo.... we rarely take risks and perhaps it's time.... the kid seems to have perseverance and elite speed (which we desperately need!). However I would expect us to also take the best available line and maybe end up with Duggan, DoGoey (or whatever his name is), Ahern or Weller which is understandable, if not a little boring! I'd also have a crack at the midget with our 2nd rounder. He must be able to draw free kicks with ease. He'll kick 50 goals just from frees next year!
