Weaver:
18. Richmond - Dean Putt
So what to footy clubs want in their XMas stocking every November? pr0n and fireworks? No. Talls blokes who can run, jump, take a mark and kick it to blokes wearing the same jumper as them. Putt started the year in the ruck and was handy. Was moved out to a HFF where he was mobile and showed jaw-dropping handling at shoe-lace level for a bloke who is the right side of 202cm. He can kick. He can work as a Paul Salmon FF. Richmond need height but would not be keen on gorillas. Putt shapes as a ruck-forward who would be the perfect partner for the up-and-at-em Pattison. Temptation to address the forward and ruck weaknesses with one pick must appeal to a club reluctant to invest in traditional talls. Richmond have always been suckers for a good finals campaign.
Matt Burgan:
54 – ESSENDON – DEAN PUTT
Calder Cannons, VIC, Ruckman, April 10 1989, 202.5cm, 89.7kg
One of the best prospects from this year's state-based screening, Putt is a little difficult to place in the overall scenario, although in recent weeks he has firmed as a likely draft prospect. Essendon, with just two ruckmen on its list – David Hille and Jason Laycock – look set to grab a big man at some point. If it doesn't opt for Ben McEvoy or Tom Bellchambers earlier, it may pounce on Putt. Along with the Dons, Putt has also been linked with the Kangaroos, Melbourne, St Kilda and Collingwood.
Bio: Athletic tall with good speed and endurance combination, highlighted by 2.93sec for 20m and 14.1 Beep Test at the recent NAB AFL State Screening Session.

Weaver seems to have put him there purely because our next one wasn't until #51. Perhaps its through desperation that we pick up a ruckman, in Weaver's eyes.

No way in the world would any club even consider taking him so low. He was always going to go late in the draft. Much better option for you guys than Richards that's for sure!

Agreed, im a good mate of putties and i'm spewing Collingwood didn't pick him up.
He will address Richmonds lack of ruckman, will be used as a 2nd or 3rd option, and then will float up forward.

Review from footydraft
http://www.footydraft.com/dean-putt/
Dean Putt – Calder Cannons
Ht: 202cm Wt: 90kg
Junior position – ruck
AFL position – ruck
Tall athletic ruckman who can push forward and take a mark. Is a left footer and his kicking is pretty good without being outstanding. Had some games where he had a heap of hit outs but others where he didn’t fire at all. Doesn’t always do a lot around the ground but he is very agile for a big man and his pace is good. Proved to be very dangerous up forward in a number of games.
Strengths: Pace and agility; Ability to push forward and kick goals; Marking
Weaknesses: Doesn’t always work hard enough around the ground; Should win more hit outs than he does; Kicking can be dodgy at times as far as hitting targets goes.
Question marks: Is he able to find something and improve his around the ground work?
Draft Prediction: Pick 30 plus. Someone will take him and hope he can find a few gears around the ground. His ability to take a big mark up forward makes him attractive.
Stats: Averaged 14 possessions and kicked 23 goals in 18 regular season games. Averaged 10 hit outs in those games.

Actually not true, he was one of 9 players mentioned at the draft night earlier this week which we would consider for Pick 18.
Miller mentioned Putt as being a power forward for us, rather than a ruck.
Sounds like he has some of the required features for a forward (pace, agility, height, marking skill), but what is his kicking like?
I was a bit dissapointed missing out on Tarrant as a power forward with presence, but maybe Putt can fill the post-richo gap.
