2019 Draft thread

Think Richmond expected us to match.

Silly if true, we've got a pretty strong record on passing on academy kids if we didn't rate them at that point.

 

[Tom14]

Richmond bid on Will Martyn.

 

[haystark]

Jeez, they’re liking our academy boys...

 

[AFLQLD]

Shame that we didn’t take Noah but really happy for him to be on a list

 

[scoman]

Think Richmond expected us to match.

Shane Essendon didn't bid on him instead of Coleman. Would have brought the house down when we didn't match.

 

[Crawb]

Lmao.

 

[Dylan12]

Think Richmond expected us to match.

It does make you wonder if clubs get caught out bidding when they expect the other club to match.

Given it is Richmond in this case, there is hardly any risk for them.

 

[scoman]

Wow and again!

 

[Mavlions1961]

Bloody hell, now Martyn

 

[irish]

God now tigers after martyn

 

[abcde12345]

Did we register Tozer as an academy pick? I've heard Richmond has an interest in him - maybe they're trying to force us to match so they can secure him guaranteed?

 

[CarterS]

Well done Noah

 

[FFB1]

Gee our recruiting team have earned their coin tonight.

PS. Love the live trading

 

[Tom14]

And we pass. Hahahaha

 

[snooplions]

Richmond recruiters must have been hanging around Brisbane all year.

 

[carnthemlions]

Silly if true, we've got a pretty strong record on passing on academy kids if we didn't rate them at that point.

Hasn't come back to bite us yet either.

 

[FFB1]

And we pass. Hahahaha

Both will want to come home in 2 years time.

#amIdoingthisright?

 

[royboys4eva]

Couple Academy players off to Tigerland for a few years development before we get them back up North when they're reading to play League footy.

 

[jonnobackpocket]

We would know if they are up to it better than anyone, if we passing it’s with good reason.

 

[Hollow Knight]

We clearly have a particular type of player in mind for our next pick and it ain’t a midfielder.

 

[KissKiss]

It weird how they keep it to Round 2 (has 22 picks) and Round 3 (with 10 picks). Maybe drop the rounds and just go straight count up

 

[Lazza16]

Any chance we take B Reville?

 

[Dodongo]

Dodongo thinks Richmond always have raging boners for our Academy players.

 

[PattyKwasagun]

I didn't really get the sense that Martyn was on our radar at all really - a bit like Jack Rolls a couple of years ago.

Thought we were more of a chance of taking Cumberland, although with only one pick left we were never going to get him alongside somebody else so clearly he wasn't in the planning either.

 

[Dylan12]

Its still good for Cumberland and Martyn that they'll join the same club and have one another in Melbourne, a lot like McCluggage and Berry.
