Just finished the mock draft after a very long week
Pick 8- Tyrone Vickery - Pleasantly surprised Tyrone is still available and the Tigers snapped him up immediately. Arguably the best ruckmen in the draft and standing at 200cms, providing excellent tap-work, good skills, great over-head mark and can kick goals, the decision was an easy one. The perfect replacement for Simmonds in 3 years time.
Pick 26- Tom Lynch - Comes from Sandringam Dragons. Has the ability to play at both ends of the ground, takes a strong mark and has good pace. Has a fantastic work rate and that leads to a high possesion count for a big man. Likes to bring others into the games with his assists. Had a knee reco last year, which has brough his stocks down, as some touted him a top 10 pick.
Pick 42- Luke Shuey (note: this pick was meant to be Mitch Banner but he was gifted to the Swans
). Luke is a solidly built 185cm midfielder from the Oakleigh Chargers. Always gets good numbers and is good around the stoppages. Reads the play well and should be a valuable asset to the Tigers talented midfield.
Pick 58- Mitch Brown - Dominated school footy. CHF. Was stoked he was still available.
Pick 74- Robin Nahas- From Port Melbourne. Clever little forward pocket that kicks goals and sets them up.
Pick 90- Aaron Killian -
He's from St Michaels/Woodville West Torrens South Australia.
Said to be between 198-201cm, ruckman/forward.
High school athletics champion in high jump and sprinting.
Was expected to be the biggest thing to come out of SA junior footy in 2007 before major injury struck him down.
In 2007, played U19s as an U17.
In 2008, still qualified for U17 and only played U17s.
This guy could be the steal of the draft.
What you think? I was a little bit disappointed but oh well.

. Tom Lynch is an O.K pick. Would have got Chris Hall instead of Luke Shuey. Instead of Robin Nahas would have gone Sibosado cause I don't think he got picked up in that draft? Killian sounds like he worth taking a punt on......
