Opinion 2012 draft thread.

Say what?

Lowest possible expectations, can't be disappointed...

 

[Silvagnis]

Yes, we have 2 more spots available on the list. Where we add them is up to us (senior list or rookie list) but I'm sure I remember hearing that we won't be participating in the PSD so they will likely be 2 rookies. Collins will almost certainly be one.......and I'm expecting Reimers to be the other.

Saints might beat us to the punch, but I'd rather look at Joel Tippett for a spot on the rookie list. Low risk, high reward selection if he steps up and can fill in for Jamison. Tom Lonergan has developed into a reliable big defender after starting forward.

I'd be tempted to overlook Collins to have a look at someone like Marvin Warrell as a make or break rookie selection pick. Club might prefer to go down the road of keeping Collins who does work hard and have elite fitness.

 

[Blue Dangerfield]

Anyone know what the rookie draft and pre season draft orders are?

 

[inyourcool]

All I knoiw is that we are before aints so posts indicating they'll beat us to the punch are incorrect

Can we call him Ernest?

Not if they go PSD

I'd rather we call him Starvin' Marvin or the Martian...

 

[Silvagnis]

Hard to see Timmeh and Starvin' Marvin getting along.

We should bring back Lance to be our Cartman.

And then we can draft Relton Roberts who could pass as Chef......

Reverse Ladder order according to number of list positions (ie no priority or compo picks)

Caro = Mecha Streisand?

David Hille & David Armitage = Terrence & Phillip.

Racist.

 

[Big Sim]

We have two spots to fill and that list has us doing it with one pick. Perhaps we are taking a Tasmanian and you are only allowed one head per pick...

Hey, I'm a Tasmanian so I can tell it, just like a negro can call another negro "ni&*er" but you better not, or else.

Edit: I actually typed the full N-word into my original attempt at this post and when it was up the computer had replaced it with "fellow"...boy oh boy I had no idea that pcs were so pc

Port draft Cachia, only for him to smash Buckley Nason style in the pre-season.

Homecoming of sorts as Roberton joins St Kilda

Good move with Roberton a definite upgrade on Winmar.

This should allow us to take Joel Tippett if we want him and he's available.

We will rookie Tippett if available

 

[Jeremias]

Still can't say I'm thrilled at the prospect of recruiting a 24 year old who has been delisted by Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

Would much rather give the opportunity to a kid who could develop into a better footballer.

Hopefully GWS take Kurt so Sydney take Joel.

Or perhaps Richmond will do us a favour and try and outsmart us by picking JT before we get the opportunity?

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Happy enough to give Joel Tippett a go. Sounds like he had a very good year in the SANFL and will provide KPD insurance if injuries strike *shakes fist at injuries*
