I do that for fun though.

As the poster of the year tigs2010 we follow your lead. I could not in good conscious not ask for clarification. My puppy Pepper demanded that of me

 

[TJTIGER]

LEAVE THE PUPPIES ALONE!!!! kittens on the other hand, go for it .

I do that for fun though.

Sorry guys, just can't think of harming the Tigers slightly smaller cousin……..

 

[Calcium Man]

I wouldn't care about Battersby. Wouldn't take him at 32 anyway. Maybe 50. Templeton on the other hand I'd kill a litter or 2 of new born puppies.

I thought battersby was the one you liked... Impey or Karpany?

I did for a bit but there are others I prefer. At 50 he'd be decent value. I really like both those two. Particularly Impey. Though Karpany is flying up my board. Problem is Karpany is pretty bloody small.

A new day a new pie rumour. Word is they'll go Lennon at 10 and pick up Conlon/Nervakis at 67

God i cannot wait for the actual draft.

Driving me bonkers ! although I suspect it's only going to get more frenzied as the day approaches, making the waters more muddy…..

What do you guy's think of Quigley's mock draft?

 

[tigs2010]

What do you guy's think of Quigley's mock draft?

I hate reading. There are a few I agree with (Sheed, Dunstan, Favretto, Templeton), others I don't. (Crouch, Salem, Lennon)

I'm similar though I tend to agree with him on Crouch (not his draft position). My problem with Quigley is his clear bias against Vic Metro kids and whilst he is good at identifying players strengths and weaknesses, he doesn't appreciate certain abilities and strengths of players. Case in point his view on Conca and Vlastuin.

 

[Calcium Man]

Hellooooo Aish or Salem.

Not convinced on Salem think he is Melbourne bound as surely they cannot go against the current again and take Freeman, they flew Scharenberg over to interview him in the last two days which i would suggest Collingwood take Salem at 6. Maybe Aish, guess it comes down to what Brisbane want. I wonder if WCE take salem or Aish if they get through?? Word is they are not set on Sheed and would take a slider.

Still doesnt rate them which i don't get. I can understand before the draft but when you've seen what they do on the AFL footy field you've got to come back around.

POLL: Who would you take at pick 6 in the 2013 draft?

I'd be disappointed if we took Zak Jones at 12.

 

[captain cotch 9]

all the things i read about Lennon, he seems to play like Dusty. Am I correct?

 

[austyn08]

Missed watching the championships this year so just going by the AFL clips which can be slightly misleading . Anyway cant help but going back to C McCarthy highlights. Just looks like he really knows what he is doing along with a touch of class and desire for the contest. Can see him really coming on and becoming a massive player.

As for the top mids, they all seem to have their pros and cons. Still trying to decide.

So now we are back to Salem

WELCOME, SHEED!!!

 

[SteveRFC]

I'd like us to take Lennon or Salem. Seems at least one of them will be available at our pick

 

[BC9_]

Given up on this draft research already, did it for about 15 minutes. The AFL website is average. The draft hub has a nice pretty little set up, but the profiles of the players in terms of where they might go is merely "oh he might go here, then again he might go there if he slips through, then again club X might grab him if club Y don't use their pick on him".

FFS. Just going to wait until next Thursday and let RFC work their magic.

Agree. Draft coverage from all forms of media has been rubbish.

 

[JR82]

i agree with the "bring on the Draft" way of thinking, then it'll be "best 22" threads after that till rd 1.......

 

[Bojangles17]

POLL: Who would you take at pick 6 in the 2013 draft?

I'd be disappointed if we took Zak Jones at 12.

I reckon if Salem, Lennon, burger and acres are gone jones will be ours , he looks to be a footballer to me whilst I'd prefer the obvious talent of Lennon or Salem, wouldn't be shattered to get jones

 

[TheAnt]

If ALL of those are gone by our pick then we will have a very, very good midfielder available at 12.

 

[Tzatziki_Man]

I'll take a stab in the dark.

If we're left with the chance to pick Salam or Lennon, we'll go with Salam.

If one's left and it's our pick, we'll most likely pick that player.

It will be out of those two. Both great prospects, can't wait for the draft to call one of them Tigers.
