Who should we pick up with our third pick in the draft?
-----------------
aflinsider.net's phantom draft
51. Richmond - David Hill
Ruckman. 202cm, 85kg. Zillmere
Possible comparison: Shaun Hampson was a similar tall athlete who was drafted from Queensland a year ago. Hampson did go a lot earlier in the draft than Hill will.
Why: Gives them a project to develop, he is tall and can jump so some of the pieces are already in place. The Tigers had neglected the ruck spot, and because of injuries there were times when Shane Tuck was going for the hitouts. Knobel is gone but Graham was promoted, their main two ruckmen are Simmonds and Pattison. They will want to add at least one more ruckman, and at this part of the draft there will be a couple to choose from Queensland as well as several from the TAC Cup and possibly the VFL.
Worth a reach: Peter Rolfe, he can play as a small forward or an outside midfielder and the Tigers could use another player like that, especially in a forward pocket.
Hope they slide: Alister Neville, it is always a success story when a player goes to the AFL from their VFL affiliate, Neville would give them a bigger body for the middle.

Unless we delist one more it wouldn't surprise me if we pick up a Coburg player at 51 like a Silvester.

Really depends on what happens with pick 2.

i voted young KPP
this fellow dan mckenna i haven't seen play but sounds like he could be a handy prospect. 194cm can play down back and foward

Dean Putt is a 202cm, 88kg young ruckman from Calder/Woodend who could be a chance to still be available around pick 51.

One phantom draft has Alistair Neville going at pick 47.
