Preview Rookie Draft

[theflea]

M.Thomas' name will be called tomorrow by Richmond in the rookie draft. He's turned down the opportunity to be picked up by the Giants with a guaranteed senior list spot, and is ready to earn the respect of his coaches, mentors and team mates and fight for the last spot on the RFC senior list before the season starts.

Are you talking about being upgraded before the season starts? If so there is 2 spots.

If Joel Tippett is available i wouldnt be against taking him as a Rookie player

Proven Backman at the next level and we are always talking about backup player - Certainly covers for Chaplin,Rance if injuries hit whilst stops our reserves from getting killed in defence

[Goldust]

I'd like us to take a punt on the defender from Sandringham, Lachlan Ritchie.
A player I reckon who could make it.
Plays tall or small.
Pretty sure he wasn't selected in the national draft.

 

[KingJ]

Hoping to give Conlon a go.

 

[CoggaRules]

Any Callinan love in here? nifty HF back up IMO...

 

[RECORDS!]

Why would we be taking Matt Thomas over Travis Tuck? I am bewildered....

 

[Rubber Hips]

100% we will select Banfield...

 

[tigs2010]

Why would we be taking Matt Thomas over Travis Tuck? I am bewildered....

Because he's at least twice the player Tuck is.

 

[tigs2010]

I'd ****ing love it if he was taken today...






...by Carlton.

 

[RECORDS!]

Because he's at least twice the player Tuck is.

I disagree with that completely

 

[tigs2010]

I disagree with that completely

If their names were Matt Tuck and Travis Thomas it would be interesting to see who people preferred. Tuck is crap.

 

[cairo tiger]

100% we will select Banfield...

thats flucked

 

[Rubber Hips]

thats flucked

yeah strange one that

maybe it's a case of ...since we (Bris vegas) are taking McGuanne Brissy you Tigers must take Banfield...who knows

 

[Tiger71]

Please footy gods, get us 2 players that are OUTSIDE MIDs with dash and a good kick.

 

[TigermanM2]

100% we will select Banfield...

A lot of posters have complained about our forward half all year and the message from our recruiters this draft period has been a resounding "We hear ya!"

Todd Banfield, you're welcome. I'll admit I stopped reading at dash.

What's their response going to be when everyone sooks about the forwards we got though?

 

[tigs2010]

Twomey saying we might pick up James Toohey.

 

[Roachy8]

A lot of posters have complained about our forward half all year and the message from our recruiters this draft period has been a resounding "We hear ya!"

Certainly drafting has indicated a search for more goals...
Agree with the strategy - we were right up there this year in terms of time in the forward half + forward 50 entries but I can recall more than once post-match lamentations that we had not taken and converted our chances.

Key is though - are the pick-ups quality enough?
Time will tell....

can't argue with that.
Guess we have to have faith in our recruiting team

 

[strauchy]

we passed the PSD

 

[tigs2010]

Dayum, this PSD is lengthy and boring. FFS move it along.

Mellington has withdrawn from draft.

 

[NZ_Tiger]

preseason draft. 1min.

 

[Infamy]

We weren't the only ones, only GWS took a pick and it lasted 18 seconds.
