Ive got Morris being taken at 31

 

[geelongrecruit5]

Ive got Morris being taken at 31

Twomey doesn’t have him in the top 40 for some reason, I agree with you if not earlier.

to be honest, personally, i think archer reid being available at 29 is a very big maybe but probably not. Vigo would be available but im not sure any of the others will be.
I honestly think green and goad are gone before that, and mitch edwards will be taken possibly early to mid 2nd round.
Tigers first pick could be around pick 35. Still not sure where to place archer reid but he most likely will be gone before the tigers dip their toe in the pool, leaving only vigo off your list available.

if Richmond want rucks and or kpf, yes most on this list would be available, dont think zane zakostelsky will be. very surprised if he is not wce first pick of the second round (if those picks dont change hands of course)

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Not afl quality in my opinion. Had some solid vfl games as a dour key defender but I don’t think he has the athletic traits for the next level.

Yeah he's been OK for us at vfl level but that's where I expect him to stay

RIP Zane Duursma. He will be missed by all, but never forgotten.

Yeah I was fixing that as soon as I posted,
Must have an attitude problem
Guess I can’t tuck him away for my team to grab in the rookie draft without people noticing.

Richmond overlooking another Van Rooyen, our fans didn't take it well the first time

Omg yeah I would have taken Jacob that year. Sam is a bit different. I personally think both Sam and Logan are speculative but I had/have Logan ahead of Sam

 

[mattyc75]

Cant see the eagles taking Lloyd with 49
Not with maric,waterman,BWilliams, culley,Jwilliams all taller forwards there to support Allan and darling.
Could see us going mcauliffe or hine-bastin from our nga tho

I think hine-baston is rookied at best. Strange you brought up McCauliffe, it was between him and Lloyd for me with that spot. Allen is your main man, darling is at the twilight end now. I recognize Maric as help, waterman too, culley is no fwd, Bailey is 50% fwd 50%ruck, which only leaves jack Williams. I think you need another fwd to try to develop hence why I went with Lloyd.

 

[blueiris]

Don't see the point of trading up for an inside midfielder when we have some of quality players like Dunkley McCluggage Robertson Ashcroft and Ashcroft jr to build around

He wouldnt be there for the midfield. Although not bad depth, Got him for the chb role that he plays so well. A quarterback style player for the backline that can take a mark and win his own ball.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Little thing Smythe.

It's McAuliffe.
Not McCauliffe.

I see Fages playing Doedee in that CHB role he actually played well for the Crom wouldn't think there's a spot available in our defence for someone so slow massive reason Rich wasn't picked when available last season

While I respect what your saying, rich wasn't picked much this season being he was 33 and had old man injuries Including the long hammy lay off. He played almost every game at 32 yrs and 31 yrs old.
Steven's V Doedee in speed comparison are very comparable.
If Doedee is to take that role, which he will, I agree with you, he will miss most, if not all, of next year. Don't you think having someone developing in that role would be nice?

I'd prefer a taller defender like Gardiner or Froggy (Lester ) at CHB while Doedee recovery 3 talls of Andrews Payne and Gardiner seem more likely to be our main 3 next season but if we did look at him what's he like defensive wise?

Culley has played the majority of his junior career as a forward and has looked best in the forward line. I hope once he recovers from his knee he can prove himself as a mid but if we're down the bottom for a few more years we'll be grabbing some top young mids
Maric really looked good when he played and with a full preseason he'll be a jet next year
Maybe we do need another tall forward to develop but just think it'll come from the top end of the draft in the next year or 2
Hine bastin tested really well. Wouldn't be surprised if other clubs have interest late. We might have to use a late pick to keep him.
