[Stevi_Tigers]

not happy about it is a good mark but cant kick for shit. but welcome to tigerland best of luck

 

[Bojangles17]

Watched his highlights reel last night and pretty happy to see him in a tigers jumper , has those steel trap hands that just go clunk . Whilst his kicking doesn't look poetic , it's ok . Welcome to Tigerland CJ

Idiot

Lynch look alike

Is the Richmond website videos playing up for anyone else? Videos are just a blank black screen

Welcome aboard Callum. This is your chance.

 

[Punt Road Feral]

Seems really clean below the knees and can dish it off quickly.

Without putting too much pressure on the kid. He could be the more important draftee from this years crop in terms of our clubs needs and structure once Jack hangs them up.

 

[TJASTA]

Was rated quite highly in AFL Prospectus 2017. SA Captain. Welcome.

 

[Wacky Tiger]

Must rate him fairly highly to go this early. Stoked to get a double blue to the club.

 

[Danog]

Nice group chat, Groc

 

[Dr Tigris]

Welcome to Tigerland.

Obvious need filled. Hope we can work on his kicking. Otherwise a great pick up. Good ruck and lead up player. Fills 2 aspects the team wants.

 

[Mr Unbelievable]

Wanted to watch his highlights to see how his kicking looks as others have commented that it's not the best.

I think it can be improved, doesn't look confident as he kicks and sometimes leans back and that's when he sprayed a few.

Will need to work on it, but not as bad as some suggested, I think can be improved.

Rest of his game looks good.

Wish him all the best.

 

[TJTIGER]

Another SA CAp't ? w
Welcome big guy, all the best!

 

[TigerTank]

A curious selection.
All the talk was Sam Hayes as the best ruck prospect in this draft, with a knock on his endurance.
On the night, Hayes dropped out of the top 40, and this guy goes much earlier than most.
I was concerned about this one because of the buzz about Hayes, but then 26 other selections passed on Hayes so, if Richmond has this wrong, so do about 15 other clubs (including Carlton, which also picked a ruckman before Hayes).
Did any of the so-called experts have Callum Coleman-Jones at 20 or less?

 

[Madtiger2006]

Hit every target. Very impressed

 

[PuntRoad Celt]

Welcome on board the Tiger Train Callum

 

[Captain_Bender]

Coleman hopefully that's a sign

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

Can't wait to see Coleman win the Coleman

 

[docko911]

Sounds good, probably wont play for 3years though.

He’s nearly 100kg
Nank is 106ish

He might play as second tall sooner than we think.

 

[UpTheTigs]

Far superior player to Sam Hayes, but likely won't play in 2018 unless injury strikes (touch wood).

 

[Football Tragic]

Hampson must be already maki g plans for when his contract expires. That's two ruckmen-type players we recruited. Love to see his handballing and willingness to win his own ball. His kicking seems very careful but he hit the target with each of the kicks I saw in that highlight package (other than the one that went out of bounds). He isn't the sort of player that fits our current game style though.

 

[HumanMeatball]

Knightmare really rated him and said he is in the mold of lobb from gws.
