Title: Rookie Draft thread [merged]
Post by: one-eyed on November 20, 2010, 07:29:22 AM
We know we are going to draft Brad Miller as a mature-age rookie from one of our 4 rookie picks. Hislop is also strongly rumoured to become a rookie. So we may only use two picks on kids in the rookie draft.

Here's some names that were overlooked in the National Draft on Thursday....

Max Otten, the younger brother of Adelaide's Andy, can count himself a little unlucky.
So can South Australian forward Jamie Solly
WA youngsters Justin Monaco and Blayne Wilson.
Tim Milera (small forward from Port Adelaide's SANFL side)
running Eastern Ranges player Aaron Mullett
Geelong Falcons forward Josh Walker
will also be hoping to hear their names called out on rookie draft day, as will many a delisted AFL player, with only a few given a fresh chance.

I actually thought that we were gonna draft him - I would give him a chance.

The AFL site is saying we will have 5 picks in the rookie draft. They are still classing O'Reilly as an international rookie and so outside the 8 'normal' rookies maximum. I thought the AFL abolished international rookie status for Irish players to appease the GAA in Ireland?

Saw him play 4-5 times. would like to see him given a go, I like they way he goes about it.  I didnt think his kicking was that good (although i could be wrong). If im right then thats maybe why we would over look him with kicking one of our main priorities.

Tigers chance: Jayke Barrack training with AFL team
BY Mitch Rodd
Sunraysia Daily
01 Dec, 2010


(http://www.sunraysiadaily.com.au/multimedia/images/large/1021843.jpg)

MILDURA’S Jayke Barrack has made significant inroads to what could be a shining AFL career.

After signing on with the Richmond Tigers VFL affiliate Coburg Tigers for the next two years, he has been nominated by his new club to train with the AFL side for a chance to be rookie-listed by the club.

The 18-year-old former Imperials player is chomping at the bit to showcase his talents.

“To be able to train with guys you look up to is fantastic. This is what I have always wanted and I’m going to work hard to achieve,” he said yesterday.

The silky smooth wingman/half back flanker has impressed recruiters during the year with strong performances for TAC Cup side Bendigo Pioneers, despite not being taken in the national draft on November 18.

But he has been given another opportunity to live out his AFL dream and he will not let it go any time soon.

“I was signed on by Coburg about a month or so ago and did a few training sessions with them” Barrack explained.

He's eligible in this year's drafts although he may get overlooked even as a rookie because he is small. More a slight medium forward. He's not like Jack and Nick.

The best of the rest
By Paul Daffey 12:22
Sat 04 Dec, 2010

OUR EXPERT Paul Daffey takes a look at 25 of the leading prospects in Tuesday's NAB AFL Pre-Season and Rookie Drafts.


Corey Buchan, Dandenong Stingrays (Vic), 188cm, 79kg, 24/05/92
Medium forward whose uncanny judgement in the air enables him to play way above his height. Good also when the ball hits the ground. Kicked seven on debut for the Stingrays and went on to be the leading goalkicker in the TAC Cup in 2010 with 51.

George Burbury, Hobart (Tas), 180cm, 69kg, 18/06/92
Mystery forward from the same club as one of the bolters of the national draft, Melbourne's Jeremy Howe. Very raw. Spent the early part of this year concentrating on rowing at his school, Hutchins. Played the final six games in Hobart's senior team. Been training at St Kilda.

Jonathan Giles, Sturt (SA), 200cm, 100kg, 08/01/88
Ruckman who spent four years on Port Adelaide's list before returning to the SANFL in 2010. Showed the benefits of maturity by winning Sturt's best and fairest. Widely considered the best ruckman outside the AFL, and Essendon, where he has been training, might take him in the pre-season draft. If not, he'll be snapped up by Greater Western Sydney in its first eight rookie picks.

Anton Hamp, Claremont (WA), 193cm, 83kg, 21/07/92
Lead-up forward who surprised many by not being taken in the national draft. Broke his ribs early in the under-18 championships. Inconsistency was the problem on his return, but he's got plenty of upside and should go early here.

Brad Harvey, Eastern Ranges (Vic), 184cm, 83kg, 16/04/92
Half-back with elite athleticism: finished in the top three in the spring and power events at the national combine. Surprised some by missing out in the national draft, largely because he showed only reasonable form in the TAC Cup, but should be taken here.

Tim Houlihan, West Coast, 189cm, 79kg, 10/02/89
Wingman with elite endurance who was unlucky to be delisted after a season derailed by injury. Expected to be rookied by the Eagles.

Tyson Hunt, De La Salle Old Collegians (Vic), 188cm, 78kg, 07/01/91
Rangy, creative half-back with a penetrating left foot. Excelled in the Victorian amateur competition in 2010 and has the coolness and wherewithal to step up to higher levels.

Kelvin Lawrence, Peel Thunder (WA), 177cm, 72kg, 14/10/92
Small forward with speed who improved as the 2010 season progressed. Had a superb WAFL under-18 finals series and was largely responsible for Peel's advance to the grand final.

James Lawton, Coburg Tigers (Vic), 197cm, 87kg, 17/01/91
Tall, lanky, high-leaping forward—built along the lines of St Kilda's Sam Gilbert—who had a couple of standout games in the VFL in 2010.

Sam Menagola, East Fremantle (WA), 189cm, 83kg, 07/03/92
Lead-up forward with poor-to-average speed but elite endurance. Keeps running all day. Dominated WAFL under-18 games in patches, and finishes well.

Tim Milera, Port Adelaide Magpies (SA), 170cm, 72kg, 09/12/92
Small forward whose creativity and awareness brings others into the game. Unlucky not to receive the medal for best on ground in the SANFL reserves grand final.

Jay Neagle, Essendon, 191cm, 98kg, 17/01/88
Key forward who might just receive a second chance after being delisted by Essendon, effectively for being fat and lazy. Hopefully the jolt has awakened him. The Bombers are a chance to rookie him.

Max Otten, Oakleigh Chargers (Vic), 193cm, 86kg, 10/11/92
Key defender who was controversially cut from the Vic Metro team early in the under-18 championships after Vic Country's Lucas Cook had kicked a few goals on him. Responded by going back to the TAC Cup and kicking a bag. Shows the same application that his brother Andy has shown at the Crows.

Cameron Pederson, Box Hill Hawks (Vic), 193cm, 90kg, 17/03/87
Aggressive full-back who would provide Gold Coast with much-needed strength and ballast if the Suns take him as expected.

Declan Reilly, Sandringham Dragons (Vic), 197cm, 84kg, 09/12/92
Strong-marking key forward who got better as the 2010 TAC Cup season progressed. Considered a national draft prospect, so likely to go early here.

Gavin Roberts, Norwood (SA), 190cm, 75kg, 13/03/91
Superb athlete with elite speed and endurance. Impressed at half-forward in the SANFL but is considered a risk because of his susceptibility to injury. Several clubs are ready to take that risk. Been training at Fremantle.

Fraser Russell, Geelong Falcons (Vic), 182cm, 75kg, 06/06/92
Speedy, left-footed wingman who played only occasionally in the TAC Cup in 2010 because of private school commitments. Been training at St Kilda, where his speed would appeal.

Tom Schneider, Oakleigh Chargers (Vic), 178cm, 77kg, 30/09/92
Midfielder who overcame his lack of size to star for Vic Metro in the 2010 under-18 championships and win the Chargers' best and fairest. His hero is Hawthorn's Sam Mitchell, who had to fight to make it in the AFL. Port Adelaide is the keenest to give him the chance.

Myles Sewell, North Ballarat (Vic), 185cm, 77kg, 10/02/88
Superbly balanced midfielder who offers great run but whose slim build (the opposite of his brother, Hawthorn's Brad) casts doubts on his ability to withstand the bigger bodies of the AFL. Won the VFL's Liston Trophy in 2009 and has been a vital member of the Roosters' premiership teams. Surely he deserves a chance.

Callum Sinclair, Port Melbourne (Vic), 201cm, 96kg, 23/09/89
Marking forward of ruckman height with eye-catching ability below his knees. Been slow to mature because of his height, but might be worth the wait.

Shane Tregear, Sandringham (Vic), 180cm, 74kg, 27/04/88
Half-back who has come to notice over the past two seasons. Good left-foot kick with reasonable levels of speed and endurance. Won the Zebras' best and fairest in 2010.

Jake Von Bertouch, Woodville-West Torrens (SA), 192cm, 80kg, 04/05/92
Lead-up forward who accumulates marks and goals in unobtrusive fashion. Plenty of development in him.

Josh Walker, Geelong Falcons (Vic), 194cm, 87kg, 12/12/92
Lead-up forward who works as hard as any teenager in the game. Runs up and back like Nick Riewoldt, but just lacked the polish to be taken in the national draft.

Blayne Wilson, Peel Thunder (WA), 188cm, 86kg, 26/01/92
Half-back who won an All Australian jumper as a bottom-ager at the 2009 under-18 championships, but whose 2010 season was disappointing, largely because of injuries. Unlucky not to be taken in the national draft and should go early here, with the Eagles and Freo especially interested.

Hayden Yarran, West Perth (WA), 186cm, 75kg, 30/04/92
Exciting prospect with the hallmarks of a natural forward. He's good in the air, deadly on the ground, and he's a goalkicker. Has played only WAFL reserves but things should click. Been training at Essendon. Hawthorn is also keen.

Snoops on BF has gone to the effort of doing a PSD and rookie mock draft. It gives an idea of who is available out there.

Full mock drafts:
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=778647

For Richmond he has:

PRE SEASON DRAFT
3. Richmond – Bachar Houli (Essendon)

ROOKIE DRAFT (he's separated GWS' picks from the rest so all pick numbers are 8 less (eg: so Richmond has pick 3 instead of the actual official pick 11). He also has incorrectly us with 5 picks in total instead of just 4.)

# 3 – RICHMOND
Ben Brown – Devonport / 197cm / 84kg
Not in a dissimilar position to Chris Dawes 3-4 years ago. Had an injury that meant his first AFL year was going to be very limited in output but a club took the view he was a good long term prospect. Brown his knee vs NT at Champs but was already a hot prospect having kicked 5 goals vs QLD a week or so earlier. Nephew of Jimmy Manson and like uncle moves between KPF / Ruck. Has strong hands, good agility (outstanding basketballer) and a clean pair of hands below his knees so offers a heap to prospective clubs as a KPF and Ruck. Problem is he is very skinny and shouldn’t expect anything til 2012. With Miller coming in this kid can take his time.

# 20 – RICHMOND
Aaron Elari – Perth / 173 / 73
Look he is only tiny but he is your new Nahas. This kid has serious pace. If you haven’t seen vision of him get it. Tested off the charts for pace and is adept at getting his own pill and kicking a goal. Was in the sights last year after winning Colts B&F and then went on and played well in the WAFL this year. Small.....but has talent and proven he can step up.

# 37 – RICHMOND
Josh Jenkins - Lake Boga / 197cm / 104kg
Big fella who I haven’t seen but has been very impressive and seems some chance to make it. Tested really well and if could continue his development suspect a club will be all over him around the new rule. Tigers could well do with this type or even a mature age ruck like Cam Cloke but seems his tickets have run out.....surprising bc he can play good footy when fit and focussed.

# 52 – RICHMOND
Jamie Elliott – Murray Bushrangers / 177 / 74
Played in the Young guns game through the year and bagged 5 goals which will have caught a fews attention. Quick fwd pkt type who is neat with his foot skills and a terrific mark. Was a standout for the Bushies this year and must be on the radar.

# 66 – RICHMOND
Brad Miller (MELBOURNE)

I thought Charlie Riewoldt was going into the 2011 AFL Draft?
He's eligible in this year's drafts although he may get overlooked even as a rookie because he is small. More a slight medium forward. He's not like Jack and Nick.

He's not small. He's a reasonable height and he plays like a tall...leads well and has smarts.

Decent talent but I highly doubt he'll be getting drafted.

22nd June 2010:
"HE MIGHT not possess the athletic ability of his cousin Nick nor the height of brother Jack, but young Tasmanian Charlie Riewoldt does share something in common with the pair - a great pair of hands and an ability to kick a goal.

But only time will tell whether that’s enough for him to become the third Riewoldt on an AFL list later this year.

At 183cm and 74kg, the youngster from Clarence still has “a long way to go”, according to Tasmanian under-18 coach Matthew Armstrong."

http://www.afl.com.au/tabid/208/default.aspx?newsid=96788l (http://www.afl.com.au/tabid/208/default.aspx?newsid=96788l)

29th June 2010:
"In year 12 at Rosny College in Hobart, he has displayed flashes of excellence for the Mariners and local club Clarence. He will turn 18 in September, making him eligible for the 2011 national draft.
Advertisement: Story continues below

At just 184 centimetres, Charlie does not possess the typical build of a key forward like the other Riewoldts, and will need to work on his speed. While he still has a long way to go, he is viewed by many as displaying potential to play AFL."

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/and-charlie-makes-it-three-20100628-zf4o.html (http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/and-charlie-makes-it-three-20100628-zf4o.html)

So around 6'1" in the old language - tall enough for key forward back in the 60's but in today's game only as a 3rd forward/flanker type.  Unless of course, he has a growth spurt still left in him - 187ish might not be out of the equation which might see him make it as the 2nd lead up forward.  As a comparison Kayne Pettifer was 183cm.

Even saying he's 6'1" is a bit generous
183cm is almost spot on 6 foot

All the picks at this level are speculative so why not take a punt on a kid with good family history and brother at club to help bring him along. I grew 3 inches at 17 so its not out of the question at all. Never know we might be peeed off when he goes to GWS before we get a chance next year. I wouldnt be upset at us having a punt like this at low Rookie pick

Using a pick on someone because of their last name would be amateur stuff. Understand where you're coming from but I dont agree. I've seen Charlie play and he won't be coming to Richmond. He played mostly in Clarences reserves last season. Also played some 18s with them and got a couple of senior games. Jack was playing seniors for the Tassie Devils when he was younger than Charlie. He can play but there are better prospects that we should be looking at.

I also thought he was a bit taller than 184. Looked more like 186 the times I've seen him.

182.5cm = 6'       :P

Its a bit like my kids were nearly xx age the day after they turned yy age!  183cm > 6' therefore 6'1".

Actually Smokey

183 Centimeter = 72.047244094 Inch.
72.047244094 Inch = 6.0039370078 Feet.

So he is very marginally over 6'  :thumbsup
