[Punt rd end]

 

[Ancient Tiger]

Everybody who has been following the tigers closely would know he would be a cat B selection for us. Very promising type.

 

[Toadvine]

Here some info about Derek Smith from AFL Draft Centre: "Smith has had multiple opportunities as 23rd man for the Richmond VFL team and has shown some glimpses throughout the year. It was impressive to see him show some leadership on the field, using his voice to direct teammates. He possesses a long left foot kick and his mix of speed & agility make him a tough match up coming off the half back flank. At times he did just hesitate before going to lay the tackle, but he was willing to tackle hard and bump opponents off the ball."

 

[Dr Tigris]

Hope we get Derek for nothing and some superstar no name midfielder with the rookie pick. Maybe named Ben - for the laughs

Yolman is worth a shot. Did his knee this year and was unlucky to get delisted. Big midfielder who I’d take

Pretty sure the day he was delisted Crows said that he would be re-rookied by them.

 

[DontArgue4]

[Sterge]

Derek Eggmolesse-Smith is a ripping name

 

[captain cotch 9]

Dusty is 187cm

Smith is not 186cm, closer to 183 max.

 

[Rich01]

About time we had a Derek on the list.

 

[TigersMP4]

It's confirmed
— Derek Eggmolesse-Smith, Richmond (Next Generation Academy) has be pre selected as a Cat B Rookie so i believe we'll get 2 picks.

 

[Sir_Loin]

Smith is not 186cm, closer to 183 max.

How do you know?

 

[sregit]

Smith will be taken. I'd love to see us look at Kreuger but we've only got the 1 spot i believe.

Nathan Krueger would be great. I was hoping we'd draft him.

 

[SumTingWong]

How many picks do we have?

 

[Punt rd end]

Smith is not 186cm, closer to 183 max.

So 6ft not 6ft 1 not much difference or maybe he grew

 

[yellowandblack21]

How many picks do we have?

AFL reporting we have 1, which is pick 17 as the Dees not participating (list full).

 

[Rich01]

Sam Collins may be the one they got with if Krueger is gone.

Ready made key defender that could step in if Astbury or Rance get injured.
Good cover for a couple of years while Balta and Garthwaite develop.
