[SA_Tiger11]

How many games he played now

Unsure I'm guessing he has played all since his first game which will be 3? This experience against grown men for 2-3 years will be invaluable.

He played as a small forward but pushed up the ground a bit as well. Was very good at applying pressure, nearly got a few Nightcliff players holding the ball from what I saw. Kicked a very silky snap goal from the boundary in the 4th.

Also had Nightcliffs captain playing on him at stages in the last quarter.

Have you got a copy of the new Y&B book? there is a chapter on our recruiting staff & there are some cryptic clues as to who we may be considering, it obviously doesn't mention names but a "big blok that can't run, is a liability defensively" could be Hayes they are talking about & "this guy is coming back from injury, is an absolute beast with massive upside (puts his name up to 1st rd list) could be Bonar?
Clarke also mentions he's looked at every key fwd in the AFL & makes a point of the fact they are all 1st rd/low picks & that you "can't go bargain shopping for key fwds, u have to pay a high price". If you have the book the chapter is called "shopping for products". seems he knows what he's doing.

When's the draft?

Last week.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

We will trade into next year. Next year we will loose / trade a Premiership player or depth. This will occur regardless of our position finish, its inevitable. The picks this year were to have a couple of aces up our sleeve for Naish.

Yep.Its kinda interesting we only re-signed Townsend & George to 1yr deals.Being and ex GWS boy i expect Carlton to offer up pick 2 for him next year.What a bonus,Thanks SoS.

George got a two year deal but I agree it's surprising Townsend only got a 1 year deal. Maybe he has incentives to trigger an second year?

If you had of taken Charlie Ballard/ Sam Taylor with #25 giving Richmond
#17 - Noah Balta
#20 - Oscar Allen
#25 - Charlie Ballard/Sam Taylor
#26 - Patrick Naish

I would have given you an A+ But Currently B+

Who the hell is selecting for Gold Coast on your board - Hamish Brayshaw @ #19 , He will be lucky to get a Rookie spot

I never knew Rocket Eade had a BF account!!!

Knightmare has done his November Phantom Draft.

17 Richmond - Noah Balta
Height, Weight: 195cm, 95kg
Summary Profile: Freakishly athletic key position player. Breaks the lines, possesses rare clearness at ground level, and is a strong mark who will take front position in the marking contest.

20 Richmond - Sam Hayes
Height, Weight: 203cm, 93kg
Summary Profile: Talented ruckman who is just as capable as a strong-marking key forward. Under-18 All-Australian the past two seasons.

25 Richmond - Patrick Naish
Height, Weight: 181cm, 69kg
Summary Profile: Eligible for Richmond as a father-son selection. Naish adds outside run and class through the midfield and up forward.

53 Richmond - Brayden Ainsworth
Height, Weight: 184cm, 79kg
Summary Profile: Overage midfielder who moves effectively through traffic and possesses strong contested ball-winning capabilities.

55 Richmond - Ben Paton
Height, Weight: 186cm, 78kg
Summary Profile: Overage defender with pace and clean skills. Capable rebounder, interceptor and stopper with a ready-to-go game.

Bit of a lazy list their by Knightmare imo

#17 - Noah Balta - Tick
#20 - Sam Hayes - Hope this doesnt eventuate and would much rather Sam Taylor/Richards/Ballard
#25 - Patrick Naish - Without a bid ?

 

[Cotchy9]

Everyone now almost unanimously saying Balta at 17. I like it. So much potential

Nek Minut - Doggies bid #16 for Naish - We match
#17 Doggies select Noah Balta

 

[Wrenny]

I like the Ben Paton pick late. Missed out on last years draft but great kick both sides and a tiger supporter. Take a punt on another tall late too

 

[Cotchy9]

Nek Minut - Doggies bid #16 for Naish - We match
#17 Doggies select Noah Balta

Gee I hope not. I'm ok with getting Naish at 25, but if it can down to it id give him up altogether if it meant getting Balta. Balta a much bigger need

 

[Richo83]

West Coast don't need Brander.

 

[Stengle26]

Nek Minut - Doggies bid #16 for Naish - We match
#17 Doggies select Noah Balta

100% likely but we shouldn't match just take balta. Fucl the dogs let them have naish for 2 seasons

 

[captain cotch 9]

All the descriptions of Balta makes him sound like a young Rance.
Thoughts Bishop ?

http://www.richmondfc.com.au/news/2017-11-06/new-deals-for-tiger-trio

I'm more than happy with 1 year for Towno, can always extend during the season if he's killing it.
I loved what he did towards the back end of the season and in the finals but wouldn't consider him a lock in 2018, there are others that could go past him imo.
Wait and see is the correct decision.

 

[tigertigertiger]

Yeah we re prob lacking in quick smalls on our list

Would you complain at pick 748836775?

No. Prefer Elton.

Great read.
No idea who he's talking about in those cryptic clues you mention, they are a bit too cryptic for me "he's got an electric cut and go -true flash" sounds like a line from a Ziggy Stardust track to me.
Great insight to why Jack Graham fell so far though - clubs were scared off due to him being a man-child and having no further development.

Out of curiosity if pick 12 was used to bid on naish and we matched with pick 17 does that club now not have a pic until 17 or do they get pick 13?

They would just get pick 13 in sense
There really isn’t any downside for a club bidding on a player that they are generally interested in
With the only two outcomes being they get said player or they don’t and just pick again
