Picks 56 & 78
« on: November 25, 2016, 04:16:06 AM »
Callum Twomey discussing our later picks 56 & 78:

RICHMOND

Draft picks: 27, 56, 78 (likely to use three selections)


Josh Begley started to come into his own in the second half of the season and has been linked to the Tigers with their second pick. He's a powerful, hard-working half-forward who kicked 27 goals for the season at TAC Cup level. If the Tigers go tall with their first pick then they may try to bring in an inside midfielder later on.

Jonty Scharenberg
is a chance to be available with their fourth-round pick, as may be West Australian ball-winner Matt Guelfi, who has a solid frame and works well around the stoppages.

Bailey Morrish is a rebounding half-back who could come into the Tigers' thinking, particularly given his pace. He ran 2.93 seconds over 20 metres at the combine so has an elite trait with his run.

Begley at 56 would be highway robbery....I'd almost take him at 27...would make up for the utter stupidity of taking Himmelberg (which is how it's looking)....just pretend they were taken at each other's draft positions...


Willie Rioli or Darcy Cameron at 78 please...though think we'll take Stewart from Geelong's VFL side instead....bleh...

Then we'll probably take Stewart at 56 knowing us....
