In the circumstances, it would be nonsensical not use use 64...we can come out of this with 4 guys who could have been first rounders!

SAY IT SLOWLY...

pik 2: trent cotchin
pik 18: alex rance (WAT A STEAL))
pik 51: dean putt

Psd and rookie draft: GOurdis and bellchambers................


cotchin, rance, gourdis, putt, bellchambers...

DOESNT THAT SOUND GOOD?
 
As others have mentioned why didn't we our last pick on Gourdis/Gaertner.
Surely we could have found space for the PSD pick by jettisoning one of our many duds. Or not bothered with the PSD. Maybe the kids will enter the PSD and be selected by us after all? Then there is always the Rookie draft and we have first pick. Overall though I am wrapt with the tigers selections even though I was a Cale Morton fan. Go Cotchy:thumbsu:

Miller was just on SEN. The commentators asked Miller that with the recruitment of Putt if it would mean that Richmond won't be looking at Richards (I hope so). Miller acknowledged that some quality kids have not been picked up in the draft and he will be weighing them up to the likes of Richards for the PSD and we also have the 1# pick in the Rookie draft.

It would be great if we picked up Gourdis and Bellchambers.
 
Just thinking about it a bit..

Yeah, we needed a big backman, but I would have thought FB was one of the few places we already had someone who was definitely filled that slot.

Rance was probably too good to pass over, having slid that far, and hopefully we can make either him of Thursty into a CHB, but I suspect some of the discussion was about if we needed another FB.

Not sure we'd take Bellchambers. From what I've read, he's more of the 'pure' tap ruckman, and Wallace likes his ruckman to contribute more after the bounce than dominate in it.
