Tigers may go for youth in draft over Kingsley

KENT Kingsley's chances of resurrecting his career at Tigerland will rest on the quality of next week's national draft.
Kingsley, the former Geelong full-forward who is training at Punt Road Oval, will be taken by the Tigers only in the event that they assess him to better value than the remaining untried teenagers late in the draft.
"It will depend on the depth of the national draft," said Richmond football director Greg Miller, who oversees the club's recruiting. "I'm very open about the national draft. If there's a good player there at our last choice, we'll take 'em. We're not going to save a spot. But if it happens, it happens.
"We'll see how he trains the next four or five weeks and see where he fits in. But our first priority, very clearly and quite honestly, is the national draft. And if it gets to our last choice and there's a player there we think is good enough, we'll take the kid. If there's not, if all our good players are gone, and there's choices left, then we'll start looking at Kingsley and we've told him that. He knows where we stand."

Richmond has six selections in the national draft. Miller said if the club wanted Kingsley, it probably would select him in the pre-season draft. The club's first two selections are at Nos. 13 and 26, having already acquired Graham Polak from Fremantle.

- Essendon is facing a potential shake-up at board level, with three challengers contesting the election.
Challengers Joe Amalfi, Greg Brown and Michael Schiavello — all with strong connections to the club at coterie level — will try to unseat some of the five existing directors who are up for election, including recent appointee David Evans, the son of AFL chairman and former Essendon president Ron Evans.
The other directors who will face the members are former premiership player Alec Epis, architect Daryl Jackson, local real estate mogul Brad Teal and businessman Pat Leggett.
In all, eight candidates are vying for five spots on the Essendon board, which is being reduced from 10 to nine (not including the chief executive, who now takes a seat on the board).
Brown is a former 1960s player who ran Essendon's ******** Reynolds Club, while Amalfi is a big player in fruit industry who has been involved in coteries the Coleman Club and the Diamond Dons. Schiavello has an office furniture business and has also been involved in the coteries.
The election is perhaps the most serious contest since that of 1998, when Teal, Leggett and Ben Dunn successfully unseated former players Don McKenzie, Ken Fletcher, Darryl Gerlach and Charlie Payne.
- The Kangaroos will delist another three players today, leaving them with six selections in next week's national draft. The Roos already have dropped six off their senior lists — including retirees Sav Rocca and Jade Rawlings — and have upgraded three rookies.
