FJ will stuff these up. Might as well upgrade Maric's cousin with one of these picks or use it to bring back A edwards.

There is hope! FJ is now not calling all the shots. The club made sure of that!

From the same Emma Quayle article:
Lukas Webb  (Gippsland Power)
Born 4.3.1996, 186cm, 80kg
AFL biography: Left footed medium forward who is strong overhead, an excellent one on one player that is rarely beaten and an excellent kick. Reads the game well and had an outstanding final game in championships, kicking four goals from 16 disposals with six marks against Western Australia at Etihad Stadium. Averaged 15.2 disposals in five under-18 championship matches.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWZ5n-cI32M

I would take Webb if avail at 52 and turn him into an attacking hbf.

With Hunt's recruitment, we'll now most likely be using only live picks 12, 33 & 52 with 70 being used on promoting Miles to the senior list.

The AFL site's Draft Machine has the following at our later picks:

33. Dean Gore - inside mid, Sturt (SA), 18, 183cm, 86kg
Medium midfielder reads the game well and strong in contests. Has speed and elite endurance. Played pivotal role in South Australia winning the NAB AFL Under-18 Championship, averaging 15 touches, seven tackles and three clearances. Averaged 14 possessions in 12 games for SANFL club Sturt. Finished equal-first in the goalkicking test (30/30), equal-third in the kicking test (27/30) and equal-fifth in the standing vertical jump (72cm) at NAB AFL Draft Combine.

52. Damien Cavka - half-back/midfield, Calder Cannons (Vic), 18, 184cm, 79kg
Elite endurance player with the capacity to run all day. Can play variety of roles, including shutting down opponents through the midfield, as well as rebounding from half-back. Shows excellent character and work ethic. Performed well at NAB AFL Under-18 Championships, averaging 18 possessions, seven tackles, five marks and three clearances at 70 per cent efficiency in four matches. Averaged 23 possessions in 11 games and kicked 17 goals for Calder Cannons in the TAC Cup.

so we can rule out pick 70 that now goes on miles.

is it possible for us to say put 39 on the list proper and have 5 rookie spots not sure how that works in this case.

I hope we go with a 40/4 list - keep pick 70, have a PSD pick - add Darcy Cameron, Shane Nelson & a big young KPD to Thomarse.

Gore sounds good if we address our pace issues with our first pick.

Wigg tipped to go anywhere betwwen 25 - 65. Wouldn't mind him at him at 33 but it would be a fantastic result to get him at 52.

Just need to read out 5 kids names rather than passing on the 4th or 5th pick.

Just what I said - we use pick 70 and a PSD pick (or even use pick 88 and then upgrade Miles with pick 106) - this would leave us with 3 rookie picks to go with Thomarse. If there's nothing of note in the PSD we can still use 4 rookie picks + Thomarse.

Wouldn't mind giving Port DFA Ben Newton a go - 23 next year, similar type to Miles but 4 cm taller and around 5kg's heavier, was only delisted after asking for a release, like Miles, found himself stuck behind high-end talent...though I heard Melbourne are heavily into him.

I highly doubt we will go 40/4 (and probably not even 39/5 for that matter) though as the club is most likely planning to elevate Thomarse before round one again and unless there's an LTI vacancy, they wouldn't be able to with a 40/4 list.

With the delisting of Arnot from our senior list, pick 70 is back in play as a live selection. Our recruiters must have a fair idea that someone who we want will still be available at 70 or they won't be around at our first rookie pick so we need to get in before the rookie draft.

Said a while back I'd be interested in him with a later pick. Could be the small forward we need but I don't think we should be using a high pick on a player who personally I reckon won't make a good midfield pinch hitter and will be mostly confined to the forward line

Specialist small forwards have to be really outstanding like Rioli, Ballantyne, Betts or Milne to pay off these days IMO. If they can't rotate through midfield they're a liability more often than not.

"Andre, have heard Richmond has some interest in Nathan Drummond later on."

"Doubt Clem Smith would join the Tigers, Brent. He's a chance for one of West Coast's later selections but his fitness is a concern for some recruiters."

Even saying that Rioli and Ballantyne can go through the midfield at times (don't watch Freo unless we play them :sleep :sleep but Rioli seems hit and miss in there). I could be wrong Lonie could go alright through the midfield but I wouldn't use 2nd rounder on him

He'd be a steel at 52 but from what I have seen he will be gone by then. Maybe it is time to invest a good draft pick on a decent small forward??

Post by: the claw on November 14, 2014, 10:05:01 PM
okay ive given up on us taking a tall with our first 3 picks.

at 33 if we are after pace my first choice here would be jackson nelson. this kid has real toe, great awareness, and just reads the play well. he plays h/b is a good size at 187/81 and should become a powerful player. i have little doubt he will become a good mid. but even if he doesnt he will be a very good rebounding defender who can do a job on his opponent.

cant believe the lack of love for this kid.

still looking for pace and dont like nelson

connor menadue and alex markov. both are tallish rangy players. at about 188cm. both really quick with good skills and lots of upside.

if looking for an inside machine the one im hoping slips is blakeley. really like this kid and i can see him going inside the top 20.

theres another 4 mids i lke around here and at the moment it about rating them in order. neil-bullen, cavka, mckenzie and maynard should be about the 33 mark.

not likely imo.
has to be a top 25 pick imo. in some ways the lack of recognition and love for this kid reminds me of vlastuin the closer the draft got the more he  just didnt get mentioned.

if taking mids was the sole objective  i wouldnt hesitate to take nelson at 33.

the other kid who has totally fallen off the radar is watchman i sure as hell hope we are looking at talls as well as mids with 33  52 and 70.

I agree he will probably be gone by then. If we had of gotten an extra 1st or 2nd rounder we probably could of gone and used it on a decent small forward but honestly there aren't many good small forwards taken with early picks. Of course there was Ballantyne and Rioli who were taken early and Jamie Elliott was packaged for a first round draft pick but you look at the rest of the small forwards in the comp (unless I've missed some) and they were taken as late round picks (Lindsay Thomas) or in the other drafts (Garlett, Betts and Milne).

Howe and Webb highlight packages are both very good. Both good kicks and both know how to impact the scoreboard based on videos. Webb doesn't mind getting involved in traffic which is a good thing. I get the feeling we should have done more to get more picks in this draft.

Dean Gore the South Australian, he has some very good qualities that boy. He could be a really damaging midfielder down the track - a terrific size for a midfielder too.

Blaine Bokhorst from WA, he is speed machine that boy, could be fantastic running through the wings at the MCG. Knows how to kick a goal as well. Some of the kicking Im not sure he means but he hits targets and for someone whose running that quick that's not easy to do.

Why the stuff did we re-sign Chris Newman. The last few days where I have had some more time to look at the profiles and see some vision, it just seems like you could be finding good players well into the pick 50s (based on some of the phantom rankings)

12- Lachlan Weller, Liam Duggan, Paul Ahearn, Peter Wright, Sam Durdin
33- Daniel McKenzie, Jack Lonie, Alex Neal Bullen, Damien Cavka
52- Luke Webb, Daniel Howe, Dean Gore, Jack Nelson, Blaine Bokhorst, Touk Miller,

taking a draftee at pick 70 is more about saving money for free agency next year than the player we take.

What would of arnot had been on

at least 3 or 4 times what a third or fourth rnd draftee would be on
but arnot is a contracted player so we pay that in the salary cap no matter what. theres no savings to be had by rookieing him other than his rookie income goes towards his list proper payout.

I like some of our r2 plus picks (a few) over the years but just for once how about the Tigers be the team that picks up that smokey that makes a real difference year 1. Every year one team or another seems to pick that player , well its our turn. I have no idea who that player is but my bet it would be a small/medium forward that could come in to our team and make the biggest difference straight away. I think thats what they were trying to do last year but I didnt come off. Stick to the kids this year, just maybe one will surprise.

November 25, 2014 6:58 PM



RICHMOND

Picks: 12, 33, 52, 67, 77, 83

With four live selections, the Tigers will obviously be hoping for some talent to get through late.

They've shown an interest in small forward Toby McLean, and he would offer something new and vibrant to their forward line with his high-marking and goalkicking smarts.

The Tigers liked Dan Howe last year but, like every other club, overlooked him come draft time. He's had a better season this year and is in the Tigers' mix at 33,

while hard-at-it midfielder Nathan Drummond is a chance later having put together an impressive back half of the season.

South Australian inside midfielder Dean Gore is also considered a possibility.

Richmond is more likely to use five picks at the draft and hold pick 83 over for a rookie or pre-season selection.

a question if you have a mind to answer it.  what range do you rate tom lamb in. i really like so much about this kid but i dont know if id use 12 to get him.
also it seems no one wants to rate the talls that may be available are there any talls you would be prepared to take at 12. id be happy at the prospect of  4.

From Brett Anderson latest updated phantom draft ...


33. Richmond - Daniel NIELSON
Eastern Ranges | 9/5/96 | H: 194cm | W: 92kg
Daniel is a competitive, one-on-one defender. His strength is nullifying one-on-one contests and clearing the footy. He boasts a great work ethic and has the closing speed to be effective against the lead. At the moment he’s your shut-down key back that every club needs to have. – Eastern Ranges talent manager Mark Neeld
In the mix: Lukas Webb, Toby McLean, Brayden Maynard

52. Richmond - Matthew GOODYEAR
Calder Cannons | 20/7/96 | H: 186cm | W: 80kg
Matt’s last three or four games of the year and finals put him back in genuine draft contention. He is an inside midfielder who can play outside, but he tried to go outside a bit more at Vic Metro. He can break out of a pack but his kicking needs a bit of improvement. If he can start to win the ball in tight and feed it out, or burst away and fix his kicking, he might go late. – Calder Cannons talent manager Ian Kyte
In the mix: Nathan Drummond, Dean Gore

67. Richmond - Nathan DRUMMOND
Murray Bushrangers | 19/2/95 | H: 182cm | W: 84kg
Nathan has come back as a 19-year-old to the Bushrangers after playing just a couple of games with us last year. Worked on all the areas he needed to and he’s one of those kids that has that rare double with speed and elite endurance. His testing at the combine was top 10 in every single area except one, including finishing second in a couple of them and a 15.9 in the beep test. Averaged 15 possessions in the TAC Cup and won clearances as a midfielder as well as having an impact up forward. Can play inside and outside without a worry after being more of an outside type earlier in his career because of his running capacity. A very level-headed and humble young man to go with all that, which he proved by coming back to us and knuckling down after missing out in the draft last year. For him to come and play the way he did this year showed great competitiveness and burning desire to make it and in the end he was rewarded by winning our best and fairest. – Murray Bushrangers coach Darren Ogier
In the mix: Jaden McGrath, Reece McKenzie

77. Richmond - Daniel CAPIRON
Dandenong Stingrays | 14/6/96 | H: 189cm | W: 83kg
He was consistent in the backline but because he was pulled in so many different directions – school football, Stingrays, Vic Country – it was a difficult year. He has a lot of upside and is going to go somewhere in life with his career as well as his football. He can be a bit of an over-thinker at times but he is a good player. – Stingrays talent manager Mark Wheeler

83. Richmond - Pass

in a similar vein. i really wanted us to chase mitch hallahan even before the trade period. i couldnt work out how we could be interested in greenwood and not be into hallahan. hallahan fit the so called criteria to a tee.

According to RodneyDangerfield on BF, Under-19 Aussie Cricket captain Pat McKenna has spoken to us. He was encouraged to nominate for the draft by recruiters including ours apparently.

"So I asked Rod McPherson about him. He's from the area and I respect his opinion on junior talent more than anyone I can think of.
He was emphatic about him.
I think Mr Magic said he was compared to a Steve Johnson type and that's pretty much what Rod said.
Compared him to Breust.
He led the goalkicking from half forward in the seniors for Gisborne in the Bendigo league this year and kicked 9 in a game. Played one under 18 game and kicked 16.
McPherson reckons he's just a pure pure footballer with awesome kicking skills and awareness.
Still young enough that if he doesn't go this year can play TAC cup next year."

I would love for us to get Dean Gore were do people think he will go in the draft rd2 or rd3.

I suspect if we want him we may have to bite in the 2nd. I could be way off, but my suspicion is the latest he'll go is to the Dogs in the 40s.

Then again guys like Cal Twomey have him going even further than that, so 3rd round may be possible.

Some of the names linked to us at our later picks ...

STRONG CHANCES

Dan Howe (Yarrawonga): Impressive performances for Victoria Country, Richmond VFL and the Murray Bushrangers have him in line for a mid-to-late draft selection. Can play at both ends of the ground and capped off a great season with three goals in the elimination final.

Nathan Drummond (Mooroopna): Talented midfielder looks a good chance of being picked up in the 30 to 50 bracket. Won the John Byrne Medal as the Bushrangers’ best and fairest player this season. Played for Vic Country and Richmond’s VFL team and was clearly the best performer at the national draft combine, where he demonstrated his unique double of a 2.93 second 20-metre sprint and 15.9 beep test.

IN THE MIX

Nick Mellington (Benalla): The Bushrangers skipper suffered illness early in the year which inhibited his start to the season. Made up for lost ground with a stellar last part of the season, including two solid games with the Richmond VFL team. A big-bodied midfielder who wins his own ball and has a raking left-foot kick.
