I so hope he plays on big red this year!

All Big Red needs to do next year is ring Talia before the match and he'll just tell him who is playing on him and every other one of our players.

Enjoy it up there Talia, we never give away many than come back to bite. Get a feeling you'll be the same.

Inside Football's phantom draft have us picking Darcy Tucker, Josh Dunkley, Callum Moore and Braden Fiorini/Harley Balic. Thoughts?

 

[GreatSouthWest]

Richmond has signed former Port Adelaide midfielder Andrew Moore as a free agent.

Moore has signed a one-year contract at Tigerland.

The strongly built has played 55 games and kicked 18 goals in a six-year career with the Power

Makes me feel a bit sick in the guts if that is how it goes.

Allow 4 years for a tall to develop

So a draft like this - again - pretty much rules us out of drafting our own tall talent to coincide with our premiership window.

Which in turn means we must trade/FA or roll the dice with a mature rookie or run with what we have. None of these options excite.

If Balic or Tucker fell to our first then I'd certainly jump on one of them. However we can't take both if still avaliable, McKay will still be avaliable at this point and we need him badly.

Andrew Moore, Jacob Townsend and Chris Yarran in the one off
season, the Tigers will be unstoppable in 2016 just send them
the premiership cup now how can anyone hope to compete.
What happened to equalization this is a scandal.

And they will be led by the greatest captain in the AFL

September stars, the lot of them. They've just been misunderstood.

We just need to find him...

Don't tell me they got Luke Hodge as well as the other three.

 

[TiAn_]

Don't tell me they got Luke Hodge as well as the other three.

Blasphemy. He knows not what he says, Bob.

 

[Yojimbo]

Blasphemy. He knows not what he says, Bob.

Two attempted murder charges in the one season, may have cost Hodge
the All Australian gong. Premiership captain weighs heavily on the scales
though, just taking the piss.

 

[TheHoneyBadger]

Between ruining Honeychurch's season with a hit to the shoulder when he wasn't looking, savagely punching Andrew Swallow in the back of the head, attempting to snap Chad Wingard's neck, and risking lives in a drunken joyride through Melbourne's streets, it's remarkable that Hodge hasn't been tied up in City Square and publicly shamed.

He's no great leader, he's just a very naughty boy. One that has spent his entire life in an environment that fosters unprovoked violence, drunken debauchery and mistreatment of women.

The family club.

In that order?

In order - Tucker, Fiorini, Dunkley and Moore.

 

[Roscoe_au]

The McKays not on our radar?

 

[Roscoe_au]

Oh, and congrats to Jarrad Grant who will put pen to paper at the Gold Coast.

Am glad he's still going to be running around, even though it's not with the Dogs

The full phantom draft has been posted below

The McKay brothers were taken before our picks.

Clayton just really doesn't want to take that swim....

 

[Yojimbo]

In order - Tucker, Fiorini, Dunkley and Moore.

Moore is rated below average in terms of kicking, but is very athletic.
I noticed both Mitch Brown and Michael Hartley went after Moore i
would hope that would not happen in real life.

Calm down. How many of us expected the Bont to be picked? Or McLean, Dale or Webb? I'm excited to see who Dal has in mind.

 

[go you pups]

Calm down. How many of us expected the Bont to be picked? Or McLean, Dale or Webb? I'm excited to see who Dal has in mind.

The last 3 drafts excluding Stringer, Macrae and Bont look at who we have taken.


Hrovat, Hunter, Prudden, Fuller, Honeychurch, McLean, Webb, Hamilton, Dale, Daniel and Cordy.

Only Webb and Cordy will fill a crucial void in our team in the future imo. The rest are battling with others to be the 20th, 21st and 22nd players picked in our team most weeks with Hunter as the only one who has well and truly emerged above that pack of later picks whom most of are similar players.

11 players there, 1 is a utility/HB, 1 is a slightly undersized KP, the rest are mids/small forwards. 9 picks of the same sort of player FFS.

I just don't get why we need to add more of these types to our list creating an even more unhealhier balance to the list and when half a dozen of these guys end up not getting a run in the team and want to leave, what do we get for them? Absolute peanuts or are delisted....... See Tutt, Howard, Fuller as examples

When you take 11 players with late picks in a developing team with time on your side that is short on quality KPP prospects what do you do? Oh lets just take more of the same, can't have enough class #Bulldogslogic

We are setting ourselves up for future finals failure if we continue to pick the same old smalls at the draft. Reminds me of what we did under Clayton/Eade and what Freo are going through currently.

I think McLean, Hunter, Daniel and Dale (as well as Webb and Cordy) will be important players when we hit T4 again. You could also count the Big Red upgrade in this time window and bringing Boyd, Hamling and Biggs in.
