Mega Thread 2013 Official Draft Thread

[RichoLedio]

Shaw to Cats and Adams to Pies. Cats pick to GWS

So yeah, Pies to keep 10 + 11.

This makes me mad

 

[Hans McGregor]

Sorry they just said pick 11..still affects us the same way

I really hope this isn't true. So sick of everything always working in collingwood's favour. a pick that high is ridiculous.

 

[RichoLedio]

Where do people see Dumont going? Starting to take a liking to him

Lennon went to my old school so saw a few of those games, would have averaged 30 something touches and 3 goals a game there as well, played in the middle rotating forward

willy rioli anyone ?

 

[Stylo]

willy rioli anyone ?

Talented but could use a pre season or 5. Wouldn't be against a rookie spot

 

[Damo80]

Anyone kept an eye on Tippa (Anthony Tipungwuti). I have a tenous link to him, in that a good (Richmond supporting) friend taught him on Tiwi Islands, and then co-incidentally moved to Traralgon area around the same time Tippa came down to play for Gippy Power in the TAC cup a couple of years back.

From what I understand, he's still pretty raw, and a way off AFL fit, but as a rookie he could be worth a shot. Small indigenous player who has played forward, but played back this year, from what I've heard. Absolutely explosive off the mark. X factor type player.... Just thought of him with the mention of Willy Rioli.

 

[FootyIcon4]

Is it true (I have no source but seem to remember hearing) that Richmond is into Salem like they were into Floss last year?

 

[Stylo]

Is it true (I have no source but seem to remember hearing) that Richmond is into Salem like they were into Floss last year?

From what I've heard we're definitely keen, but there are 1 or 2 we'd take ahead of him if available. Lennon is one. With Floss I think we would have taken him with pick 1 if we had it.

 

[tigs2010]

They are so keen on Taylor I hear.

Lewis? Another midget.

 

[RichoLedio]

Lewis? Another midget.

Bucks is keen to be the tallest at the club

 

[Calcium Man]

I got to say i'm pretty keen on acres now. Ahead of Sheed, Salem and Dunstan on my most wanted.

I find it really disappointing the AFL do not release all draft camp results? Is it a privacy thing or what?

 

[KingJ]

Shaw to Cats and Adams to Pies. Cats pick to GWS

So yeah, Pies to keep 10 + 11.

****, they are some smart operators, set themselves well for this draft.

 

[DrMike]

****, they are some smart operators, set themselves well for this draft.

They did well last year too

Yeah lets just trade for the sake of trading.

 

[cairo tiger]

Yeah lets just trade for the sake of trading.

no you goose lets trade built on solid needs and giving us advantage.

Trade for what then?
Who do we trade out to do it?
As far as I'm aware all bar Nahas Derickx & Helbig are contracted at this stage. Si unless we can force someone out who doesn't really want to go there isn't much trading we can do.

 

[KingJ]

They did well last year too

Broomhead whom they picked up with the last of the first rounders they had last year could well end up being the best of all they picked last year, would love for the Tigers to get our hands on more 1st round picks in coming years.

Is he still contracted for next year?

I believe he played in the Essendon DFL for Aberfeldie. (I know his cousin so I've kept an eye out)
Sounds like a big step down in standard but there seems to be some coin at that level of football now. Maybe more than VFL?

 

[KingJ]

Is he still contracted for next year?

Am led to believe he along with Helbig and Nahas are out of contract!

 

[UpTheGuts]

****, they are some smart operators, set themselves well for this draft.

They are doing what the Saints should have done post 2011.

One day, when we've won 4-5 flags with this group, I hope we won't bottom out but will instead see the sense in trading out a declining star for high draft picks. Hampson and Knights, maybe.

 

[_RT_]

Is he still contracted for next year?

Not that I'm aware of.

Edit: Just checked around and definitely out of contract
