2012 draft

[tigs2010]

Based on the rumours of who we are keen on at each pick I'd be hoping for:

Pick #9 Nick Vlastuin
Pick #32 Rory Atkins
Pick #34 Jackson Thurlow
Pick #43 Liam McBean

We made 20 videos last year for the three players...its a lot of wasted effort in the end haha.

No chance of them being accidentally uploaded on some ghost site in advance I guess?

Yeah but you got 3 right. Got to look at the positives RFC_Official

 

[TigerTime88]

Who are the 20 you've made this year?

Lachie Whitfield???? lol

 

[Sin City]

Off the top of my head, Lonergan would meet all those requirements. Burst speed (ala Judd), hard bodied, wins his own ball.

Not sure his burst speed is what you think it is. He did well in the repeat sprints at the combine but off the mark is a different story. Bottom 3% over the first 5m and bottom 29% over the first 10m.

Seeing as Port and GWS seem uncomitted to Grundy, how would you guys feel about him being at Punt Road next year with pick 9?

This just in from Twitter #wtf

Adelaide has relinquished its first two picks in the NAB #AFLDraft as a gesture of goodwill towards resolving Tippett matter. More to come.

The majority here want instant gratification and someone who will line up round 1 against the Blues, so i guess the answer will be no.

But we need a young ruck big time and i would be very happy for him to be a Tiger even if we dont see much of him for a season or two.

Surely not

Personally id welcome him with open arms. think overall on the board we are 50/50 on him

 

[CallumBartlett]

Check the AFL website, it's legit. They still have their later picks, but 20 and 54 are gone.

 

[Robbo92]

Suck ups. Hope the AFL still smash them.

I don't think there'd be anyone disappointed with him at pick 9.

I think you'll be surprised tigs2010. There is always a few who go against the trend. I can see both sides of the argument but just feel hes too good to pass up.

I'd prefer Vlastuin but I won't be disappointed as it will set us up. My argument all along has been he's not clear cut miles ahead of what else will be on offer.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

would cream my pants if Wines slipped to us. Either way, as long as pick 9 is a mid, I'll be happy to back FJ's selection

 

[blaisee]

Got a sneaking suspicion that this draft is actually a big dud.

Even Whitfield has got question marks with his tiny hands and lack of explosive speed and penetration with his kicking. Plowman is an inbetweener, Toupas has injury concerns, Mayes could be Danny Meyer and the best propspects Menzel and Stringer have Big big question marks on their bodies.

Wines kicking is below par ect ect

i Know no juniors are perfect but, the top 10 of this draft have got alot o serious question marks and could very well be like the class of 2004 all over again.

Not impressed

Final Rankings

So who is your preference at 9 then M_R?

 

[jstone]

cool..our late picks get bumped up a little now seeing adelaide is playing fair for once!

 

[MR]

So who is your preference at 9 then M_R?

From the ones who might be available at our pick:
Menzel > Grundy > Macrae=Vlastuin > O'Rourke > Mayes > Wines

 

[TOOs_Finest]

Lol Adelaide.

Admitting they over-achieved this year. Realising they'd prefer to lose this year's 20 & 54 than two lower picks in, say, two years time... assuming the AFL takes away their first two round picks for two years.

 

[petro12]

I'm still not convinced on Vlastuin being top 10 rated. I reckon the tiges will go for Wines if available at 9 and even Macrae

 

[Calcium Man]

I think brad crouch helped their decision. He gives them a top 5 pick this year and effectively they are not really excluded from this draft. So it might be they are banned from 2 drafts but its really only 1.

Cool id go Grundy > Menzel > O'Rourke > Vlastuin > Macrae > Wines > Mayes of that bunch.

 

[tigs2010]

Menzel is the one for me that could be available that I want us to take over Vlastuin.
