Mid season draft 2024

Not sure why you're so keen on Blight. What have you seen that I'm missing? I just have doubts he is up to the next level. He is 22 years old and been playing under Freo's nose and they haven't considered him.

Even though I watch more South Freo games than Peel, I'm not that big on the guy, he looks a million dollars but reckon he should be better, he did play well in the GF last year but I'm still not sold.
Freo are pretty well stocked for KPD's IMO.

Truthfully, I just think a KPD has a better chance of making it than a KPF coming from the MSD.

I wont be upset either way, just feels the safer option to me.

Fair enough, I see the MSD as a free hit, it's not like the national draft where you have to keep players for 2 to 3 years.

Playing safe in the MSD doesnt inspire me that we will find anyone decent.

Sounds like we are going to play safe and get that Collingwood dud and Blight anyway.
 
What about as a 3rd pick just as Naismith replacement?
Surely there's someone we can pick up with a bit more of a ceiling and/or wait until the end of the year to go out and get one from another club.

Teakle is after an 18 month contract too.
 
Hutchinson? WTF

So Toce comes out and says we are looking to pick up players with a long term view instead of a quick fix but wants two 22 year olds?

If we pick up a Collingwood reserves player and think he is our answer to our forward line troubles in the future than im off him.
Why we have a history of doing just that. Athos Hythrolakis, Wally Lovett, Neil Peart, Terry Keays, Stewart, McCormack. It's a tradition that we recruit Lollingwood duds

18 months? Grim. He's a no from me then.

Sorry I deleted my comments, im so annoyed just by the thought of us looking at Hutchinson.

Did Howes play any Champs games last year though?
Howes has never played Nationals due to injury at either U16 or U18 ...

as I said earlier he has elite talent ...
leading goalkicker in SANFL grand finals at U16 and U18

In the U18 SANFL SF last year Liam kicked 3.2 but lost to Noah Howes Panthers who kicked 2.1 from

Noah performance yesterday for SA
(13d, 2.2, 6 mark, 5 tackles) better than Liam's one goal from 6.5 disposals and three marks average in last years Nationals
Liam has more of a tank, Noah is a better field kick and goal conversion.

Both can completely take over a quarter and both really love taking contested grabs.


Both can really get on strong runs of form ...
Liam with only 5 goals from his last 5 games but 17 goals from the 5 games before that ...

and Noah finished the season with 14 goals from his last six matches

We aren't getting Howes, bet he goes to the Hawks and has a great career.

Gibcus, Balta, Kosi, Miller, Young and Grimes all on the list whose best position is KeyBack and Bauer, Tresize, Brown, Vlastuin and Broad whose best position is intercepting back

that is 11 players into 4-5 spots .... and ... we are going to add that potato Blight as well.

This club is faarrkked!

It would be GOLD to jag a genuine KPF via the MSD that made the level in addition to our draft hand eoy
Odds are totally against us but imagine if we did get lucky
Oppos will melt so hard
 
Has Sydney Stack nominated ?

Tigers to take three selections to Mid-Season Rookie Draft​

Richmond will have three selections at tomorrow night's Mid-Season Rookie Draft.

 
Howes seems likely to be taken in the upcoming mid season draft by a team looking to bolster their key position stocks. He played in the opening champs game on the weekend and showed some of his talent, although his marking was a little off on the day.

 
If we're taking a defender then it tells me that Yze is still wanting Balta forward long term. I know people are saying that we need key forwards, but if they don't believe the players on offer are worthy of being long term investments then why bother. None of the key forwards that have been talked up have really stood out by dominating week after week. They've had brief runs of 2-3 games where they've got themselves noticed, but then faded away. Blight has been probably the most consistent across the season in terms of performances from week to week. As I said last night the club obviously has more of an informed opinion than any of us here, having interviewed the players & their coaches, plus watching them for a couple of seasons most likely.

Happy for the MSD to be the beginning of the list transformation into how Yze wants it to be long term. He will know what type of players he is missing from both the list and the best 23 they he wants to have long term and will no doubt have met with Hartley & Toce to discuss which players in the draft will best suit those needs. I've got players I'd love for us to recruit just like a lot of posters would, but I don't plan on melting if the club doesn't pick them. Hopefully the rest of you are thinking the same.
