List Mgmt. 2022 draft pool.

[sregit]

It's a reasonable argument against taking a tall just because we need one, but with the 4 picks we have that late in the draft and the success we've had in recent years in nailing late picks why not roll the dice and take 1-2 low risk/high reward KPF types and give them an opportunity to become an AFL calibre KPF. We've got nothing to lose in doing so, but so much more to gain. We don't need someone who is going to be a multi time AA or one of the all time greats, we just need someone who can play at a consistent level week to week as the support act firstly to Lynch and then down the track a bonafide number 1 target that we go after in free agency when Lynch has moved on.

I do understand the need for a KPF, however, I think we should draft best available, KPF or not and then invite several KPF types to do preseason. Then draft the best KPF in the SSP if the club thinks they’re up to it.

Pick 30, id agree absolutely 100%. Pick 50 plus meh. Club has the room to take a chance.

Interesting. Kid can play but has Stack levels of maturity and intelligence.

Has averaged stuff all touches a game in the WAFL this year. Including him as the main person in the picture and title is nothing more than click bait

Jovan Petric looks like a steal at pick 53 or later for a key forward. Western Jets, 196cm and 87 kegs.

Mobile, good hands, kicks bags, has a bit of x factor. Just needs to work on his tank and conversion rate.

Anyone know more about him?

No way in hell will be considered. Tigers are officially Croatian. We've already got war in Ukraine, don't need another one at Punt Rd. A bloke at work mistakenly called a Serbian guy Croatian. After his stab wounds healed HR made him apologise to the Serbian fella.

If Van Es is around at pick 53 I’d hope the recruiters would be looking very closely at him.

Has a bit of grunt and size to him and great hands. Would be a very good project. 197cm 96kg. Already a solid build. Would provide coverage for an aging KPD group we have going into next couple of years while Gibcus is developing his body.

TBH I'd rather we picked up hbf'ers with some talent than some random tall kid that kicked a footy once just because it's a need.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

I don't want us to pick a tall just because we currently "need" new talls. If the best player available at pick 53 is a midfielder then we should still go with the midfielder, why waste a pick on a possible dud forward just because we need one? You still wanna pick the best players you can.


EDIT: To expand on this, you can assume the caliber of talls available at pick 53 will be at the Todd Elton-ish level. You'd have to get very lucky for one to end up later being anywhere near as good as Jack and Tom, pretty lucky for one to even end up as good as someone like Ben Brown or Tom McDonald, but you're far more likely to draft one more along the lines of Todd Elton or worse. So I ask, what is the point?

53 isn't amazing but your chances of getting a gun midfielder here are still much higher. There will be sliders too, or mature-age guys who have started racking up the footy at will at VFL level, who will potentially push for best 22 or at least be very good depth initially, putting more pressure on for spots and creating a strong squad.

Why just draft another Todd Elton or Ryan Garthwaite who won't make the 22 and won't improve the squad either?

So I reckon just go best available player, and wait to draft a tall until we have a better pick or a more "sure thing" available at whatever pick we have, and/or just trade in a capable forward (or a great one if things align) in the next couple of years.

Or more to the point is pick 53 going the be any better than Ryan?
Having said that if Lemmey was still availble @ 53 i'd take the punt.

What are the odds of a hbf after pick 50 becoming good?

Richmond have 22 years and old and under; mansell. Ross. Cumberland. Dow. Ralphsmith. Rioli. Sonsie. Banks. Brown. Clarke.

The new players starts a long way back. Plus - hooper. Taranto. Rioli. Baker. Bolton. Graham. Should have their best football ahead of them.

There doesn't seem to be great harm in drafting a bigger player if that's what tigers HQ wants.

I like lemmey - it was only a few months back some draft watches had him top5. Even if stagnated

Garthwaite wasn't a bad player imo.

Your unlikely to get a A grade kpp that late in the draft but a serviceable tall could be helpful going forward

I'm not saying we should draft hbf'ers, obviously that was a joke. But I do think we should draft for talent rather than physical traits. There's a slim chance of a talented player slipping to the 50's but there's a waaay slimmer chance of a talented tall slipping to the 50's. We've got 2 swings, no point just grabbing some 6'6 bush league kid with .000001% chance of making it when we could go a talented slider. Trade for needs. Hasn't steered us wrong recently.
Draft a talented tall next draft when we've got a hope in hell of grabbing a decent one.

If he falls to our pick, he would be a great option. Needs to put on weight as most key position players need to do at his age but he takes marks and is a clever 1v1 player. Not a liability if the ball hits the ground too, can move around a bit. Playing in the SANFL is good exposure playing against the bigger body full backs too.

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

I'm really wanting our father son kid to end up at the Tigers

Big Mad Max Knobel

 

[Cotchy9]

Scully looks good. Would be wrapped with him at 53. If that early season form continued he’d be gone in the top 10. We just need to Garner his talent and what better than to learn off Riewoldt and Lynch. November birthday too so still room for growth

 

[_RT_]

Knightmare has us taking Harry Lemmey and [PLAYERCARD]Tom Scully[/PLAYERCARD] in his phantom draft. Imagine picking up the kid who was in contention for the number 1 pick 12 months ago and he actually fulfilled that potential and turned into a genuine AFL KPF.

Finally get a chance to nab Tom Scully and I’m predicting Essendon won’t be able to help themselves…

In some ways having two very late picks is actually more interesting. It's when our recruiters earn their pay cheques, trying to find diamonds in the rough.

It will also be interesting to see if we trade back into next year's first round. So much depends now on whether the Taranto/Hopper trades pay off, next year and beyond.

I love that the club has gone all in !

What the hell went wrong with Harry Lemmey !?...kid could be anything.

Will he be Lemons or Lemonade ?

Perhaps like so many light KPF's he might end up as a quality intercepting KPD. Might be worth having him on our list.

Hard when the player themselves gives up the info. He's unwittingly doomed himself to having to play for a joke club now.
