Player Watch #34 Harry Armstrong- 8 weeks

[SumTingWong]

Can't see the need for Cadman now

 

[tiger_tough]

Ecstatic with this pick.

 

[RichoLedio]

Can't see the need for Cadman now

I get that vibe too, I'd rather we keep the extra picks anyway

Prefer Reid

 

[TiggerMan22]

surprised we haven’t picked up an extra midfielder so far… thought we might reserve a later pick for an extra tall

No need. We got 3 at the top end of this draft and we'll get 2 at the top end of next years draft.

 

[RockJobster0312]

Think Armstrong fell because of circumstances with the teams from his range to where he fell.

Melbourne wanted midfielders, Fremantle and Port Adelaide (and to a degree even us) had similar type of KPF’s.

GWS and Doggies unlikely to take a KPF either with their stocks.

Cant deny his talent as a KPF. Great selection.

 

[Daka]

I'm more excited about this guy than all our other dratees except Sam Lalor.

 

[Michaels]

Tigercast saying his interviews were poor. Crazy stuff

It's the only possible thing

Based on all things footy he was going to the dees at pick 5 for months!

 

[Daka]

I can't my head around it.... how? is it even possible to slide that far, not sure poor interviews should completely override talent.

 

[prodigy]

This slide was crazy.
Based on his interview on Fox after he got picked I can see how he may have struggled under the pressure of club interviews etc.

Speaking eloquently on live TV a minute or so after your life's dream has come true wouldn't be easy though.

I'm thrilled with the pick. Seems to be really close with Hotton so hopefully that helps them both settle in.

 

[RichmondEshays]

He was the second KPF in the draft tbf. Tauru and Trainor the only other KPPs before him. GWS, Sydney, Port, Dogs, and Freo don’t need anymore. If the draft order is changed I doubt we get him.

 

[THE_GUN]

Armstrong was rated top 10 all year and considered the best KPF of this draft all year

Armstrong & Faull is a really good combination together

Armstrong - Riewoldt
Faull - Lynch
Lalor - Dusty
Trainor - Rance
Hotton - Bolton
Smillie - Cripps

Smillie - Cotchin

We need to find a Rioli in the rookie draft

 

[beema limapep]

Lloyd was absolutely destroyed inside that his pet project Armstrong got picked up by us.

Absolutely devastated!

 

[beema limapep]

Can't see the need for Cadman now

Yep. Take best mids at 1 and 2 next year to compliment Smille and Lalor.

 

[Richmond Flats]

Yep. Take best mids at 1 and 2 next year to compliment Smille and Lalor.

Will need one with pace.

 

[Madtiger2006]

Looks good. We have a tonne of talls now. How many rookie picks will we have if we use the one pick tonight?
2-3 quicks with skill please. Wing, half back and half forward is a must now

 

[beema limapep]

Will need one with pace.

And silk.

 

[Madtiger2006]

Will need one with pace.

2-3 will do. Rookie draft we can add?

 

[Dr Tigris]

Yep. Take best mids at 1 and 2 next year to compliment Smille and Lalor.

And what a midfield it could be. Size, power, skill, grunt and silk.

Happy good times.

 

[OFFtheBALL]

so happy he slid to that pick, thought we bottled it 3 times, LOL.

 

[Muddiemoose]

Can’t wait for him to take a massive pack mark and Huddo to say

“One small step for Richmond one giant leap from Armstrong”

 

[evo]

Surely this was a bargain, I wouldve taken him with pick 12
