Post by: TigerLand on December 15, 2008, 05:45:21 PM
I cant believe the reason why Richmond arent taking the gamble with Cousins is cause the guy that was our 5th worst player last year and someone overlooked in this years complete draft is to risky to let go with 7 rookie draft picks.....

Thats the only reason why Cousins wont be at Richmond nothing else.. they've already decided that with a Pick 7 in PS Draft that he'd fit the mould...

Let's Pray Sheeds pulls through for us Members!

Or even best our bloody coach steps up and says this is my team my bloody job on the line I want Ben Cousins!

EAT EM ALIVE!

PSD starts at 10am

Rookie draft starts at 10:20am

Coverage will be on the AFL site as they post the selections. SEN may keep updates?

Title: Re: Official PSD and rookie draft thread
Post by: mightytiges on December 16, 2008, 04:37:10 AM
Sounds like the PSD will go something like this:

1. Melb - Matt Deboer
2. Port - Josh Carr
3. Ess - Hayden Skipworth
4. Carl - Chris Johnson
5. Bris - Tippett?
6. Rich - Ben Cousins

Someone in front of us could still spring a surprise and take Cousins and then all the drama of the last few days would be for nothing.

I think we did ok today. Cousins has the support of the supporters, Nahas adds a quick forward pocket type, Browne can spend the next 2 years at coburg developing, Gourdis has another chance- we should play him at FF with coburg and Elroy I havent seen so I cant say.
Title: Re: Official PSD and rookie draft thread
Post by: torch on December 16, 2008, 11:07:25 AM
can somebody please tell me did we Rookie any player that was training with us?

Gourdis is the only one! i know Klemke went to Essendon!

that is disappointing!

picked 4 Rookies, obviously Ben Cousins will be on 300,000 a year!

Nahas played for Port Melbourne and won the VFL "rising star" award. It is an award given to a player considered likely to go on and get rookied. I think he also won something in the state game -v- South Aust this year - best Vic player for memory.

I remember when Coburg played Port he cut the Burgers to ribbons

Check the individual threads on each WAT  :).

The talk that we were keen on Klemke (in the PSD) turned out to be garbage. We bypassed him 4 times. I reckon too that when we saw Freo overlook Gourdis at 3 we felt comfortable going for someone else first and then pick up Dave at 24. In the end we've come out looking like we've had a win-win in the media picking up both Cousins and Gourdis.

The Hawks must be obsessed with us as much as their fans on BF. They had Meyer training with them and now they've pulled Peterson out of nowhere after over a year away from AFL. Interesting to see if he's got his act together off-field. No surprise Danny went to Port. LOL at St Kilda picking up Hack Dawson. They must be desperate  :lol. Essendon fans are doing their nut over taking Skipworth ahead of Cousins.
Title: 'Other' draft excites Francis Jackson (RFC)

'Other' draft excites Jackson
richmondfc.com.au
By Mic Cullen
5:27 PM Tue 16 December, 2008

WITH ALL the fuss around Richmond’s selection of Ben Cousins in the 2008 NAB AFL Pre-Season Draft, it’s easy to forget that one of the most important events on the AFL calendar, the NAB AFL Rookie Draft, took place just minutes later.

Richmond picked up four players and passed with their last option in a draft that recruiting manager Francis Jackson described as "fairly thin".

And although Jackson missed one player he would have loved to get to the club, he was more than happy with the ones he did manage to snare.

“I’m genuinely excited the way it all panned out,” Jackson told richmondfc.com.au.

“Robin Nahas (pick 8) is a small forward who kicked 50 goals for Port Melbourne (VFL), and he will give us that leg-speed and goalkicking ability.

“He also has outstanding defensive skills and is a fantastic tackler, so I’m genuinely excited that he fulfills a significant need on our list.”

David Gourdis is a key position player from Subiaco (WAFL)who was dropped off the Tigers' main list from 2008 but then taken back as a rookie with pick 24.

“When he came to us he didn’t really know a great deal about what the AFL was all about, but he’s matured significantly over the course of the year.

“The improvement in his understanding of the work ethic and need to constantly train at your best has been a credit to him.

“He’s exceptionally quick, exceptionally quick – he could match it with the best of our quick players, and with his size at 193cm, and also his body size, he just gives us another option."

Richmond's third selection, Murray Bushrangers ruckman Andrew Browne, is a player Jackson is excited about.

“He’s going to take a bit of development time – he’s a 204.5cm ruckman from Mansfield who played for Vic Country in the championships,

“We think we’ll be able to build his body – he’s quite skilful, he kicks the footy well and he’s a very good contested mark.”

But there’s no doubt who had to trek the furthest to visit the hallowed turf at Punt Rd.

“Alroy Gilligan’s our last pick. I was really keen to get Alroy here to see how he fitted into the AFL environment. I tracked him down on draft day, when he wasn’t drafted, and he was at home in his community, which is 200km from Fitzroy Crossing (in Western Australia’s far north).

 “It took him 25 hours from the time he left his community to when I picked him up at the airport.

“Alroy played with the Claremont colts this year, he’s a very, very quick forward who has quite good endurance and he has a good work ethic.”
