What do people think of going with Charlie Curnow if he is available?

191cm, 95kg tall inside mid/ key fwd

played as a mid growing up until more recently when he was thrown fwd and seriously crashes packs and wins the ball overhead.

Plays on instinct.

I thought he'd be gone by 7, so if he is there at 12 it's a yes. Same with Francis.

Agreed, I really don't wanna pick up a kid who needs 3+ years to start contributing.

If we can get a bloke who is mature enough to come straight in that would be great. Like Wines/Bontempelli.

Forget Ah Chee, will want to go home in 15 minutes

Then we'll trade him for Weller, Shuey or Gaff....

No we will end up with pick 65 or something stupid. Too much go home factor..

I just hope we don't use pick 12 on a ruckman.
It's too big a rick IMO.
Plus decent ruckmen come up every year for trade. Happy to use a first pick on an established ruckman that has already developed and has shown he can compete.
I still think we are too short in the middle. I'd like a 190cm plus midfielder in the Mundy, Barlow, Fyfe mould. (Is there any really good mids in the draft that me be around at our pick?)
When we have Grigg starting in the middle in a finals game it tells me we are still a few really good mids short.

As for the small forward role, Mr Yarran for me.

I asked Brett Anderson on twitter what he's heard ...


@mightytiges -  Hi Brett, any early draft whispers about the Tigers?

@BrettAndersonIF -  Big fans of Josh Dunkley but wouldnt be at pick 12...

@TexasPinkSock - are we in to oliver?

@Brett AndersonIF -  A club before you might be too...

@TexasPinkSock - most have said in the teens so richmond are a good chance if they want him

@BrettAndersonIF -  I think GC are a good fit.

@TexasPinkSock -  i heard they were after a key position player though

Just in response to Brett Anderson, that hasn't stopped FJ in the past if that's the player he wants. We seem to lock onto our first pick well before the draft. The question here is whether Dunkley decides to go Father-Sons to the Swans or not.

How do people here rate Dunkley?  Would you be happy to pick him up?

I just get the sense we would pick up A Moore as a DFA  and find a sml fwd in the draft

Don't mind Dunkley but rate him around 20-25. I think at pick 12, the club can get a player who has better disposal. Mind you he might turn out to be like Sydney's Kennedy and that's not bad at all, but his kicking just makes me think we can do better at 12.

Speaking of Jake Stringer, you went on and on and on about he was the one for us in that draft IF HE SLID!
I didn't see an apologie for your wishful thinking after that draft??
