Preview Rookie Draft Etc

[TJTIGER]

Gach Nyuon, Nick O'kearney & Sam Murray , or others? Discuss...

Anyone think of others that may be on RFC's Radar or the chances we will take any of these guys. Fj did say we have 3 selections on Friday 27th November.

 

[UpTheGuts]

Parsons, Glass-McCasker, Clark, Porter, some bloke nobody apart from his parents have ever heard of?

 

[Tiger Claw]

Where are we in the order for the rookie draft for our 3 picks?

 

[Lsta062]

Gach Nyuon (ruck), Glass-McCasker (tall defender) and Kerbatieh (small forward) would be a solid rookie draft for us IMO

 

[Lsta062]

Here is a list of some of the players available:

It won't be finalised until the PSD is complete

 

[t_bond_legend]

Gach Nyuon hype!

 

[UpTheGuts]

Shouldn't take a ruck if we don't rate any of those left. Can always play a smaller bloke elsewhere

 

[Rubber Hips]

Hope we go Nick O Kearney and Parsons

 

[Rubber Hips]

or Phuc Dat Bich

 

[GoTigers2015]

Priority a mobile ruckman who get his hand to the ball against the big boys. Gach Nyuon
The best available KPD as I am not convinced that Elton and Astbury are the answer long term. Glass-McCasker
Best midfielder several options available O'Kearny, Parsons, Hackett, Snelling

More likely we get someone that is off the radar!!!

 

[jumpinjimmy]

or Phuc Dat Bich

I hear he's 'quick off the mark' but has no 'endurance'....

 

[Tango67]

agree with GT we need a ruck, CHB and a ball magnet

 

[Cevap_Roll]

Shane Nelson.

Midfield depth and would be great for our VFL team.

 

[TigerImposter]

Gach > Hampson. We need to develop another ruck IMO

Every year. With reason

 

[Tiger2709]

Why not get one of these for each of the players?

 

[Bishop]

Big call- But wouldn't surprise me if N O'Kearney goes undrafted.

I'd like (in no order) Porter, Nyuon, Kerbatieh, Glass-McCasker, Thomas Glenn, Nash Holmes, Thomas Jok, Jock Cornell.

I can't split them, but I want a tall.

I think we'll pull someone out of nowhere.

Not going to happen unless the Dan Richardson vid is just a red herring.

So I posted this on the depth chart thread, but I think its also relevant here as it shows who I think we should target in the rookie draft.

Based on this I think we clearly need a young key defender and a ruckman of around 22-24 years of age.
Hopefully Glass-McCasker will slip through to our rookie pick, if anything I think it shows we should have taken him instead of Broad and targeted Broad as a rookie instead.
Would also be looking at someone like Darcy Cameron to fill that big hole in the ruck column, even though we do have some part time coverage in Griff & Vickery
Then another midfielder

 

[UpTheGuts]

Ruck stocks seem ordinary wherever you look

Clubs are recruiting guys from OS who've barely ever kicked a footy

Be nice to pluck one, but we don't need one for next year

In fairness that was re: someone saying we should have traded for a gun mature ruck. Nothing he says there precludes us taking a rookie ruck

Read that today. Felt ill for an hour afterwards.

 

[Tigers Time]

Rippon is training with us. Hope we have a look at ballard. Also like Parsons and Glass-MCasker.

Yeah, I wouldn't read too much into it

He was never going to say "Hampson is clearly a spud, like everyone on Bigfooty said he was, but he's contracted so well we're stuck with him for another year"

I wouldn't throw toys if Ivan had a temporary, 4-6 week injury, next season. Just so any call we make on #16 is fully informed. Hampson can ruck.
