List Mgmt. 2021 draft pool.

we still need a tall forward. Lukas Cooke looks interesting, nice skill set but a bit lean. I wouldn't mind a punt with one of our later picks.

Pretty ordinary in the state games.

 

[El Duderino]

Pretty ordinary in the state games.

yeh i saw that, WA absolutely dominated, he had limited opportunities

 

[Wrenny]

Gibcus sounds pretty handy. If he reaches the tigers pick looks solid down back long term kpp with balta? Tarrant with his time to develop too

If you took him @ 7 you can take a mid @ 7

Wouldn't be upset with any of

Horne.
Callaghan.
Gibcus.
Hobbs.
Ward.
Andrew.
Rachele.
Erasmus.

Pick 7 / live pick 9 looks a decent position

 

[YeOldTiger]

Pretty ordinary in the state games.

To be fair he kicked four (should have been five) in a losing team game 3

It sounds like Gibcus and Andrew might be gone by 7

Hope so. Guarantees one of Ward/Hobbs/Erasmus will be available.

ask this guy??

Sounds like T.Browne is on here...

 

[guruisatiger]

I’m on the Hobbs train… and the Ward train… and the Callahan train… and the Rachelle train… and the VR train… and the Erasmus train… and the..

What about the last train out of Sydney
Or the last train from clarkseville

 

[guruisatiger]

Funny how you look at things. I reckon Ross has great hands and plenty of time and sets players into space. He is also a good tackler and strong. I would watch early Ross as opposed to the one we saw the last two years to get a better opinion. Has been moved around from pliiar to post the last two season.

How can you make such a natural centreman into a half back the following year.

How impressive was Jack awesome
Also 5,16 balta in the ruck wow

Pick 7 / live pick 9 looks a decent position

Gibcus would be a good pick up but if we are looking to be in the mix this year then i see him hardly playing in 2022. He wouldn't be ahead of Grimes, Robbie, Balta, Broad, Vlas, Short, Dan and Stack

I personally think Callaghan will be a star and reckon we should trade 7,15 and norths future 2nd to get him

If Gibcus is going well enough to get a game you could play him backline and push balta higher up the ground.

Given the tigers were daring enough to bid for pick 1. Moving up for calla seems possible if they rate him

 

[Mr Magic]

This is who i think we might get for the first two picks.

Pick 7 Johnson. I think some of the better ones might be gone and Johnson may be seen as more suitable/ready made for what we need and a safer selection to. We could put him on a wing without necessarily putting him in the guts from the start so RCD, Ross and others still get their chance. He compliments the others and has versatility allowing rotation and Prestia and Graham etc.. can still do their thing to. He moves a little different to RCD so I do not think they are necessarily competing for the same spot and both could have different roles in the team

Pick 15 JVR. I just think he will not last as long as some suggest including the fact KPP, as a general rule, are not that plentiful, The ability to play forward and back is appealing. In an eighteen team comp its hard to find types that can fit into mixes and provide options and such versatility cannot go underestimated I think. He is only 194cm but he has size

This is more about players suitable for where RFC is at. Other types we can get via Free agency/trades and further down the track in other drafts and helps our list become more well rounded

Always thought Balta looks lost everytime he goes forward not sure why people keep saying this when there has been very little indication dimma will play him forward unless the game is down to the wire and we need an extra tall to lock it in.

Either way i would be happy with any of the listed at 7 just not another conca episode.

 

[Grrr]

why would you want to waste a good pick on a mediocre tall?

So there is not one good tall player in the whole country. I know we have had a rough year or two with not a lot of junior footy played, but they must be out there. If we go past a tall and pick a small then maybe our recruiters, who know a fair bit more than us, agree with you. But I would hope that we prioritise a tall over a small this draft if the quality is there.

Johnson looks like a key forward to me. Same height as Jack, 194-5cm, his cousin and a whole lot of key forwards.

 

[Grrr]

He doesn't have to play this year, a year or two developing and plenty of spots will open up.

 

[TigerPaul71]

They a great highlights of what Ross can do.
If he was only played in the middle more last year.
He is only 20
Time is what they need, continuous footy.

 

[GoTigers2015]

Good to see us top and Carlspoon bottom on the draft ladder.

 

[TigerPaul71]

I'm happy with our picks at the moment:
Pick 7 - Hobbs/Gibcus/Rachele
Pick 15 - Van Rooyen (if we are interested) otherwise Sinn/Sonsie/Roberts, possibly Wanganeen-Milera
Only reason you'd offer 15 + whatever for Saints 9 is if we aren't interested in Van Rooyen and we vastly prefer Johnson or Goater over Sinn/Sonsie/Roberts.

Pick 26/28 - Nevitt/Butler/Bazzo/Williams territory - or trade to sh*t clubs for future seconds or upgrade of our future seconds to their firsts.

Pick 38/40 - Again, either trade for overs or else "We were pleasantly surprised to find XXXX available this late in the draft. We rated them a top 10 talent and still can't believe they lasted this far."

XXXX may or may not be a player any of us have even heard of.

Really want Hobbs.
A Tiger man child!!
Sonsie or Van Roy

Tall forward? Yes it’s entirely possible that their isn’t a good one eligible for the draft in the whole country. Only have to look 09, 11, 12, 16 drafts to see it’s possible for an entire draft class to have no good tall forwards.

As for this years talls I haven’t watched them play. But no draft watches seem particularly enthusiastic about them compared to say last year with Thilthorpe and McDonald, or the King brothers in 18 etc..

Just because we want the next JR doesn’t mean he’s available and forcing it won’t make them an A grade talent.

I’ll back our recruiters if they take Amiss (who seems to be the first tall forward to be drafted) but I’d be surprised.

 

[Roksman]

This thread needs more Leek Alleer.

Ready to go and would allow (can't believe I'm saying this) Balta to play up the ground....

Is he really ready to go? He weighs about 85kg as a KPD

You'd have Grimes and Tarrant taking the big boys.

Alleer will make a big impact at AFL level as an intercepting defender IMO.

Most players go up and down. Petracca had disposal averages of 17, 18, 20 and 18 in his first 4 years and he played pretty much every week.

Confidence is the thing, and that sometimes takes years. Pretty common for a young player to have a good first year before having their confidence taken out of them one way or another. I think Ross is a classic example of this. Hopefully he responds next year, because the talent is there.

Please don't quote Dean Polo, he had one good game. MacIntosh is a better example, BOG almost against Judd in his first game, solid year thereafter, reserves a year or two later, back in career best form the last two years.

 

[lumpinee]

dont mind who we get,as long as a couple at least ready to go rds.1-4
