Rookie wish list??

[Tigerland]

Stupid stupid call.
Hislop is a dud of the highest order.


What happened to the players that can kick mantra.

I'm emailing the club to tell them they are wasting resources!

Craig Cameron is a fool.

 

[Toadvine]

Haren was taken by the swans.

 

[CeltDave]

Hislop - boooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

C'mon, he really hasn't had an opportunity over the many years at AFL level to prove himself!!!!

 

[Tzatziki_Man]

So we officially got Houli too, congratulations Bachar!

Umm, Brad Miller and Tom Hislop are two questionable ones, but hey, its only the rookie list...

PS3 Richmond Bachar Houli - Essendon
R11 Richmond Ben Jakobi - Coburg
R28 Richmond Brad Miller - Melbourne
R45 Richmond Tom Hislop - Richmond
R60 Richmond Passed

Geez, what a terrible RD. Miller and Hislop are pretty much guaranteed failures. Plenty of kids around that mark have turned into quality long-term players nearly on a yearly basis. "Only the Rookie list" is not really an excuse.

Hislop is a worse kick that 75% of the VFL players.
He'd be in the bottom 5% of kicks in the AFL.

Tough but nothing else, therefore a waste of space.

Certain delisting in 12 months time.

When will this club learn? I am utterly disgusted in the rookie picks absolute joke! really bad recruiting.

Agreed. Hislop will on past form has given every sign that he will never be a good flanker, midfielder, wingman or backman.

A Barden would have at least given some potential upside.

Pretty disappointed actually

Remember people, we can still Rookie list a player up until the end of the NAB Cup Grand Final. Basically we get a free trial period. So we may still yet get a young gun on our Rookie list.

did not know that. Presumably hawks will use that to select Travis Tuck, whom they overlooked.

I presume that there is no hierarchy for selections though...

I'm guessing it's a first in best dressed sort of thing.

This drafting period has left me seriously un-motivated re the RFC going forward. It's one thing to be dicked by the AFL but to have it happen by our own recruiters..... once again

 

[TigerTank]

I'm trying to think of one reason we would re-draft Tom Hislop rather than Myles Sewell.
To date I've failed.

 

[tigerfansince86]

Epic fail.

 

[Toadvine]

Lawton didn't get picked up either.

 

[austyn08]

Passing is criminal, considering there were just under 30 rookie upgrades recently. Surely there was someone worth the risk at our second pick?

 

[Toadvine]

According to Emma Qwayle we passed so that we could take part in the "Training Draft".

Which gives us until the end of the NAB cup 2011 to rookie a player onto our list.

 

[Mr Magic]

I should get a job with Essendon recruiting.

After Josh Jenkins, Steinberg, and Heppell we clearly see eye to eye!!

That policy I agree with.

Apparently we added Travis Casserly to our training squad

@AFL_JenWitham Jennifer Witham


RT Correction: Travis Casserly added to Tigers' training squad, Travis Tuck & Paul Johnson to Hawks'. Can be rookied after NAB Cup #afldraft

... probably for the same reason no one else picked up Myles Sewell

 

[Morro]

Trav Cass back at the Tigs would be a massive story.

Any one know what he has been doing with himself. I heard a while back that he was finally injury free and playing some good footy.
