Preview First Pick Discussion

[tigs2010]

And who will it be if Salem and Lennon are not their and no slider? I'm think Jones or Acres.

How do we rate Sheed if WC do in fact rate Acres at pick 11?

Not sure on Sheed. He'd be one in contention of there was no slider. I think there will be though. With Sheed, Bontempelli and likely McCarthy going before our pick someone will be there. Despite Collingwood being linked to 20 players they can only take 2 of them.

Goalkicking ability is a highly desirable characteristic for us, and will be sought after with our first pick

Rules Lennon out. He missed so many sitters at champs

 

[living_in_syd]

Hope we get Acres

 

[Wacky Tiger]

I just wish this damn draft would be done already. Wasting far too much time watching videos atm

 

[Bird Man]

think lenon is our man

 

[FFS Kick it]

A little bit of gossip I have picked up second hand are lennon, acres or salem are targets for the tiges. If all 3 are gone the next choice is lewis taylor. Nothing really surprising there, but I am confident one of those four will be at RFC next year.

Don't ask me where my info. comes from because secrets should remain ...................................secret.

I also heard we will take Tom Boyd if avaliable. Cant reveal my sources though, actually no **** it why not.

Blind freddy told me we would take Boyd as he sees a lot of promise in him

 

[KingJ]

Rumours circulating that we are keen on; Salem, Lennon and Freeman in that order.

do you have an order of preference??

Don't particularly want freeman. The potential is there but will take a heck of a lot of teaching.

 

[juss]

Was unsure before, think I've settled on wanting Lennon now. Can introduce him to the HFF with midfield cameos.

LOL. I knew I should not have said anything. It seems most on this board have pretty much the same players as I have mentioned.
If Boyd drops to pick 12 I'm sure the RFC will consider him.

They were given to me in this order. Lennon, Acres, Salem and Taylor. FWIW I think the txt just came that way. The first 3 are ahead of Taylor so I would assume any of the 3. I'm happy with the order.

If all 4 are gone then I don't know.

If all 4 are gone id say that means Boyd slips to us

 

[RichoLedio]

If Boyd comes to us we will have no choice but to turn him into a mid

As unpopular as it appears I'm still thinking Dumont might cause this board to meltdown on Draft night.

You think Lennon will go earlier or we will take Dumont over him.

You mean Defender? McGuane, Gourdis, Griffiths, Astbury and Elton all drafted as forwards turned defenders.

Nope, we said we were taking a mid, so a mid Boyd shall be

No idea to be honest, just have this nagging gut feel that someone like him would be a kid that FJ would take. Similar to when we took Conca in that pre draft all the talk was Conca would go late first early second and then FJ swooped at 6. Same thing goes with Dumont, most have him late first early second at the moment.

I can't see us taking him over any of the top guys like Salem/Lennon but I'd imagine he'd be higher than Bontempelli, Freeman, Taylor, Crouch, Hartung on our list.

IMAGINE if we took Lennon just IMAGINE!

Been talking to Brett Anderson from Inside Footy and he says that the club loves Lennon, so looks like the majority here will get there wish.

King is not a shit player as you put it, he is a player that has made the most of his abilities & gives 100% on the field. Can we improve on a player suck as King, the answer would be yes. He has played his role at the club, when we have struggled. Yet the position he plays for the club needs to be upgraded so we can continue the rise up the ladder. So it is up to the kids coming through to take this position from him.

Yer I know what your saying is right, I hope next year he isn't just given a game Bcoz of his name when we should be playing younger guys like arnot and a few others who will step up if given the chance. Tuck was 10x the player king was and he was treated very harshly I feel, in regards to coming in and out of the side. If king plays 23 games next year we will not improve that is for sure our side only needs a fewer miner tweeks and we could be right up there.
