Title: Pre-Season Draft
Post by: one-eyed on October 13, 2006, 01:52:38 AM
It's probably rubbish but there's a thread on BF that says we may convince Polak to put a 1-year 600k contract on his head so we can get him in the PSD and stuff Freo altogether and then re-sign Polak for 150k for 2 years in 2007 so the overall deals average out to be 300k per season over 3 years. Similar to what Hawthorn wants to do with Thorton. Royal heading off to Perth midweek to see Polak and the fact Tuck has subsequently been taken off the trade table has got tongues wagging.

In the paper today the AFL say that sort of thing is legal and it's not draft-tampering to frontload contracts. Because we are only paying the bare 92.5% minimum in TPP, we supposedly can fit the 600k within our salary next year but spread the payments over the 3 years so we don't go over budget.

Your thoughts?

Well there goes that idea lol.

Who will we now pick up in the PSD? Apart from Thorton there's no one else obviously available or at least who will still be around by our pick 8. Will we pass on the PSD altogether?  ???

What about this Perry dude fron North Melbourne.

You can never have too many KP players, would put pressure on players like Sarge and Razor

No idea what happened with Perry. A week ago we supposedly had offered him a 2-year deal when North had only offered him one. By midweek there was only "minor interest" and today not a word  ???. If he wanted out of North you'd thought he and especially North would have looked to trade him this week.

Perry is meant to out of contract.

Seen on the news that north started training today.

Does anyone know if Perry fronted up? He maybe someone we are after for the PSD?

The following names were mentioned in The Australian today. Any interest from us here for the PSD?

Brisbane's Tim Notting, who has only been offered a one-year-deal by Brisbane;

Essendon's Adam McPhee, who is yet to agree on terms with the Bombers,

Adelaide forward Scott Welsh who remains in contract dispute with the Crows;

Kent Kingsley, who quit the Cats during the VFL finals series;

Geelong midfielder Tim Callan,

Hawthorn's Nick Ries and Josh Thurgood, two of six Hawks delisted yesterday.

After looking at a history of the pre-season draft, I think Richmond would be better off not picking anyone, or using the pick on a youngster who missed out in the National Draft (Matt White).

That is where most of the success seems to come from.

I hope we go that way too wayne and give a youngster a chance. Why pick up another recycled dud like a Weller or Marsh and just waste a spot on our list :help.

Miller said today that we will have 5 choices in the draft this year. So that may means 4 in the National draft and one in the PSD.

Post by: LondonTiger on October 19, 2006, 05:37:08 PM
I think we may take 5 in the national draft, unless we can entice someone uncontracted that fits into the PSD.  Cannot see anyone worth taking from the current list above.  (Kingsley was rumoured to be coming to Richmond about 2 months ago though.   :-\ )

Tigers plan for pre-season draft
9:09:08 AM Mon 23 October, 2006
Tony Greenberg
richmondfc.com.au

“We took a mature-age player in Trent Knobel two years ago (in the pre-season draft) and then went for a youngster in Matty White last year, so we’re certainly prepared to look at all options,” said Richmond coach Terry Wallace.

“We’re more than comfortable to add a senior player to our list via the pre-season draft.

“If we think that a player can have an impact on games for us, we’ll go after him.

“It’s something we’ll just weigh up over the next few weeks as we see who’s available.”

That article says we have 6 picks, 13, 26, 58, 60, 74 and 90

It says we will most likely take 5 in the national draft and 1 in the psd.

If that is the case, is it just Staff, Chaff, K2, Rodant, Humm and Roach gone?
Title: Re: Pre-Season Draft
Post by: mightytiges on October 26, 2006, 09:04:53 PM
Humm was a promoted rookie so he didn't take up a senior list spot. So with Staff, Chaff, Chubba, Rodan and Roach gone and Howat promoted unofficially that leaves 4 free spots on our senior list. If we want to use six picks (5 National + 1 PSD) then 2 more have to be delisted. If Richo as a vet is moved outside the senior list then just one more has to go. The latter would leave us with 4 rookie list spots.

Rumour has it that the one of those next to be delisted will be rookie listed if not picked up by another club.
Title: Re: Pre-Season Draft
Post by: mightytiges on October 26, 2006, 09:07:54 PM
I can't believe Carlton poached Ackland from St Kilda and gave him a 3-year  :o contract. Geez they are desperate lol.

1. Carlton - Cain Ackland (St K)
2. Essendon
3. Kangaroos - Hayden Skipworth (Adel)?
4. Brisbane
5. Port - Harry Miller (Haw)?
6. Hawthorn
7. Geelong
8. Richmond

But didn't we go one short on the senior list in 2006 ??? - that's why we were able to promote Humm without having a long term injury IIRC - so that's a spot, plus Staff, Chaff, Rodan and Roach - 5 by my count if we don't keep Howat on the senior list and out him bac on the rookie list then that's 6.

If we keep graham and Howat as rookies then we have 2 free rookie spaces

Essendon wouldn't have got rid of him, and be prepared to pay out his 2007 contract, if he was worth getting. He'd need to prove himself next year at vfl/sanfl before you'd consider looking at him.

I've heard we were "one short" a number of times too WP but it doesn't make sense to me either ???. The AFL rules state that all clubs must fill every spot on their senior list. We had 38 + 1 outside veteran (Gas) in 2006. Unless they are counting the fact that Richo as a veteran could have gone outside the senior list too then we weren't one short. I thought Humm came in for Thursfield?

What are peoples thoughts on Julian Rowe?

I thought he showed a little bit a couple of years ago.

Seems to have gone AWOL.

I think Kent Kingsley could be a good option for a year or two.

Wouldnt get the best backmen with Richo, Brown and Petts also playing forward.

Should be able to tear up a 3rd or 4th defender. Kingsley @ FF Brown in a pocket

Petts at Half Forward and Richo CHF.

Would also allow Sarge to play back when required and add that little bit of depth.

Creating more competition for players like Hall, Sarge, Polak, Kingsley(if drafted), Patto, Hughes
Title: Re: Pre-Season Draft

I hope that's BS :help. Cloke was only useful as a loose man in defence. Once opposition coaches made him accountable to a man he got spanked week in week out. One of the few recruiting decisions Spud and Beck actually got right.

Not saying we should pick Rowe up as he's just an average footballer but yeah I was surprised too Bully to see the Pies had delisted him. I didn't think he was one of their worse in the games I saw him play. Plenty of other overrated duds at Collingwood  :yep.
Title: Re: Pre-Season Draft
Post by: Gordon Bennett on November 01, 2006, 09:12:05 AM
Richmond were close to drafting Rowe 2 years ago, apparently. He had a good first year. I don't know what happened to him this year.

Kingsley might be a short-term option. It may depend on how much we'd have to pay him.

Gaspar - you'd want to know that he was over his injury troubles. Too risky, IMO.

I wonder if they're still interested in Jeremy Clayton, and whether he's also keen to re-start.
Title: Re: Pre-Season Draft
Post by: jezza on November 01, 2006, 09:40:01 AM
My preference is not to take a discard from another side, history has shown just how few of them go on to be decent selections. However if we were to pick someone up, I would be looking at addressing some areas where we are perhaps a bit light on, such as rucks and key defenders. I will probably get shot down, but if his shoulders are found to be ok, Cameron Cloke could be cheap insurance as a backup ruck/tall. Also Nick Smith may be worth looking at, was a junior defender, still very young. I'm not really interested in anyone over 25.

Title: Re: PSD - Kent Kingsley An Option For Richmond
Post by: one-eyed on November 08, 2006, 05:49:46 PM
As mentioned by Miller today, Kingsley is training with us.

-----------------------------------------

Kent Kingsley An Option For Richmond
aflinsider.net
November 8th 2006 04:51

Former Geelong full forward Kent Kingsley may have found a new team. The Tigers will have Kingsley training with them and he could be an option for Richmond in one of the drafts.

Kingsley averaged 49 goals per year from season 2002 to 2005. In 2006 his total from 9 AFL games was 10 goals. He also played 12 games for Geelong's VFL side and kicked 39 goals.

While a lot of people will wonder why Richmond would consider an older player like Kingsley, it does make sense in some aspects of it. Richardson has always been a forward who often finds himself on the wing, he gets the ball on one of his long leads and sometimes doesn't have many options to kick to in the forward area. In the past his team has been successful with another full forward playing with him. The Tigers do have some young players who may be able to fill this role but for next year Kingsley might be a better option. Richardson kicked 45 goals in 2006, Pettifer had 31 and Simmonds 25. The Tigers also lose Stafford's 15 goals. A player who is a proven goalkicker is something that Richmond needs.

Another reason why Kingsley is a reasonable option is the price, both in salary and draft picks. Kingsley would not be expecting a big contract, and Richmond would not offer one anyway, while the price to acquire him would be a preseason pick or maybe pick 60 in the AFL National Draft.

Richmond probably don't draft Kingsley, but if they do it will be a low-cost, short-term deal that might provide the Tigers with a few more goals and a push into the finals.

What we need more is to get game time into young players.  That’s what the next two seasons should be about.

Young players I can be patient about, not Kent Kingsley.  Haven’t we had enough of this type?

Adams
Collier
Prismall
Sheringham
Grose

Some may be too young for the rookie list (eg Prismall). Grose will be gobbled up by brisbane for their rookie listing if not taken in the PSD.

THE PRE-SEASON DRAFT SCENARIOS
Stephen Rielly
The Age
November 28, 2006

CARLTON: Committed first pick to ruckman Cain Ackland and will make a second selection in wake of 11th-hour departure of Chris Bryan.

COLLINGWOOD: One selection, likely to be used on Bryan, who has been made a two-year offer.

ESSENDON: Committed only pick available to former Lion Mal Michael.

HAWTHORN: Has one pick which, a month ago, was being set aside for Carlton full-back Bret Thornton.

KANGAROOS: Likely. One further change to the list may be made that will give the Kangaroos the first live pick in the draft. Carlton and Essendon before them have already made their selections.

PORT ADELAIDE: One selection to make and has invited ex-Saint Troy Schwarze, among others, to train at the club.

RICHMOND: Chose not to use last pick in the national draft to keep options open. Has interest in former Cat Kent Kingsley.

ST KILDA: Has up to three vacancies on its list but seems certain to select no more than two players, the final number depending on salary-cap considerations. Interest in ruckmen including Clark Keating and Tristan Cartledge.

OUT: Adelaide, Brisbane Lions, Fremantle, Geelong, Melbourne, Sydney, West Coast, Western Bulldogs.

Tigers yet to decide PSD direction
4:52:28 PM Wed 29 November, 2006
Angus Morgan
richmondfc.com.au

Richmond coach Terry Wallace is reluctant to reveal whether the Tigers will opt for youth or experience in the upcoming pre-season draft, preferring to declare that the club will choose the best player available with its single selection.

Kingsley is the highest profile player of that group, but according to Wallace, neither he nor the others have been made any promises.

"We won’t bring them in unless we're considering them, but that won’t give him any more right of way than anyone else that's in a delisted position at this point in time," Wallace said.

"We're not in a hurry to make the decision. Obviously we're monitoring players that are training at other clubs as well.

"If someone jumps out and is a standout, we're in this for the long-term regardless and we'll pick what we believe is the best player for the Richmond Football Club."

Title: 6 undrafted youngsters training with us
Post by: one-eyed on November 30, 2006, 02:13:44 AM
From the Age:

Wallace is set to add one more player to the Tigers' senior list in the December 12 pre-season draft, but is uncertain whether he will go for youth or experience.

The Tigers drafted three forwards among the five youngsters claimed in last weekend's national draft, lessening the prospects for ex-Geelong forward Kent Kingsley to be picked up.

Richmond sprung a surprise last year by taking youngster Matthew White in the pre-season draft - a move Wallace is considering again this year.

The Tigers have brought in six undrafted youngsters to join Kingsley and perennial VFL goalkicker James Podsiadly, who are also training with the Tigers in the hope of being drafted.

"We don't bring them in unless we're considering them," Wallace said.

"Last year we brought in Matt White ... and he shone over that two-week period and we said we can't afford to lose him, so we ended up drafting him in the main draft."

Just did some reading on Zac Hier, 18,  190cm 88kg. Plays as a 3rd defender, according to reports, very composed, debuted this season for WWT. Good reports around the place and put some decent players out of business in games. Hes the smoky, but hes a chance- stats remind me of Thursfield. So who knows- anyone else have any more.

The Tigers are far from decided on whether to take former Cat Kent Kingsley in the upcoming pre-season draft and will continue to look at the other options available before December 12.

While Kingsley has been training with the Tigers for almost a month, coach Terry Wallace said the club might yet move to recruit a different former player currently training at a rival club.

"(Kingsley) is training with us but really what you do at this stage is you have a look at the whole list of who's available, not only those training at your club but those training at other clubs as well," Wallace said on SEN on Tuesday morning.

Among other second-hand players currently training with rival clubs are Anthony Corrie, Ty Zantuck, Adam Iacobucci, Joel Reynolds, Luke Brennan, Tristan Cartledge, Ben Kane, Will Slade, Josh Thurgood, Joel Perry, Andrew Ericksen, Nick Batchelor, James Ezard, Harry Miller, Tom Rischbieth, Hayden Skipworth, Josh Willoughby, Jayden Attard, Tom Roach, Matthew Davis, Earl Shaw and Michael West.

Plough must mean untried youngsters as there's no one there we'd want.

Possible Picks For AFL Preseason Draft
aflinsider.net
December 7th 2006 01:07

1 Carlton: C Ackland
2 Essendon: M Michael
3 Kangaroos: H Skipworth
4 Port Adelaide: T Hurley
5 Hawthorn: B Ross
6 Richmond: N Batsanis
7 St. Kilda: C Keating
8 Collingwood: C Bryan
9 Carlton: T Cartledge
10 St. Kilda: B Hart
11 St. Kilda: T Roach

Richmond may take Kingsley with their pick, or opt for another young midfielder. But if Clarke really does nominate for the preseason draft then Richmond might take him. Not just to annoy the Saints, although that might be one result, but Clarke would fill some of Stafford's role and Clarke was originally a Richmond player at the start of his career.

I have a hunch that dean limbach will be taken by Geelong in the rookie draft, whether we've decided to select him or not.Why?
1. Wheadon is now at Geelong, and he was a big fan of Limbach's      eg he once compared him to a young Matthew Lloyd.
2.Geelong are always on the look-out for tall forwards, even though they've picked up Hawkins, and will re-select Lonergan.
3. Geelong's picks in the rookie draft are immediately before ours.
Title: Richmond is expected to select Kingsley (afl site)
Post by: one-eyed on December 08, 2006, 03:31:20 PM
From the AFL site:

Players to nominate for the draft on Friday besides (Cain) Ackland, (Matthew) Clarke and (Mal) Michael were Chris Bryan (Carlton), Anthony Corrie (Brisbane Lions), Ben Eckermann (Port Adelaide), Tim Hutchison (Kangaroos), Kent Kingsley (Geelong), Tom Lonergan (Geelong) and Brad Murphy (Western Bulldogs).

This is in addition to the delisted players that were overlooked in the recent NAB AFL draft, a list that includes Adelaide veteran Ben Hart, ex-Tiger Andrew Kellaway and Collingwood's Cloke brothers - Cameron and Jason.

Richmond is expected to select ex-Kangaroos and Geelong forward Kingsley at pick six

Wheadon would spend heaps of one-on-one time with Limbach working on his goalkicking at training. So you're spot on there GB.

Ty is off to Princes Park apparently. Some clubs just never learn  :rollin.

The Blues have already committed to ex-Saint Cain Ackland with the No. 1 pick and are likely to give former Richmond player Ty Zantuck another chance at No. 9.

Well I bagged Pat Bowden (Still to prove me wrong but doing ok so far), so I will also bag Kingsley.
Hopefully this makes him a good player also - but I doubt it. That's if we pick hi of course.
Don't know why, just have a funny feeling Limbach may bite us on the arse 3 or 4 years down the track  :-\

Into other clubs yes lol.

The Saints picking up Clarke and not expecting him to take marks around the ground. Why did they get rid of Knobel then?!  :wallywink

Hawks redrafting Thurgood - doh!  :rollin

Carlton picking up a dud Cloke.

Good luck to Kingsley and welcome to Tigerland :clapping. The number 10 guernsey is his.

What about No. 18 ;D

Absolutely no surprise with this selection.

I have no problem with it, can actually see the logic behind it - 3 forward option for Kent usually means he bags a few goals.

Post by: tiga on December 12, 2006, 01:21:52 PM
With Kingsley now coming into the team I believe we now have a good balance of youth and experience. I think he will be a better contributor than some other mature types we have picked up in the past.(Marsh, Hudson, fleming, king, Houlidud...Need I go on??)  Has a good lead and can take a strong mark when his confidence is up. Might be a good foil for Richo How could anyone have been confident at the cattery last season. Our potential forward setup for next season could really stretch some opposition backlines. I'm excited!  :thumbsup

I'm happy we've got Kingsley - I think it will be another Mark Graham situation, except hopefully we'll get more than a year out of Kent.

Post by: Darth Tiger on December 12, 2006, 02:56:26 PM
Was going to unleash on this decision, but it does make sense for 1 year.

Get another leading tall into the forward line, release Richo to CHF, take a defender from Brown's area, and allow Cleve & McGuane an extra year to develop at Coburg where they can be brought in for a 2 to 3 game taste at intervals.

I have always maintained that a final is worth 10 H&A games, and with the addition to Kingsley more likely to result in an additional 30 to 40 goals next year, finals are the real aim.

Imagine Lids & Bling injury free in their 1st final  :shh

Post by: mightytiges on December 12, 2006, 09:47:56 PM
At 28 and 50 goals in 3 of the past 5 years if what SEN said was right Kingsley's not a complete hack. The question will be whether he and Richo can function in the same forward line together without getting in the way of each other. Kingsley's more your ordinary leading from the goalsquare forward while Richo is... well... Richo lol. Expect the unexpected. If they can click then with a fully fit Browny back and Petts with a 3rd or 4th defender and Simmo pushing forward we coud have a very dangerous forward line if the midfield can give all them enough decent footy.

I bet one game next year though we'll kick 20 behinds with that lot lol :shh.

Looks like Ty didn't get picked up by Carlton :wallywink

It must have been a hard choice for them between Ty and Cam Cloke. Do they take the dud or the dud  :rollin.
