"Tigers unlikely to trade away its early picks": Francis Jackson (RFC)

[one-eyed]

From the RFC website....

Francis Jackson said Hardwick was determined to continue transforming the Tigers' list and, as such, the club was unlikely to trade away its early picks in this year's NAB AFL Draft.

"We got 14 new players last year ... and we'll probably have another eight or nine this year given our national draft picks and rookie list, so in essence that's 50 per cent of your list in two years," he said.

"As a recruiting manager who goes to the footy all year long, I want to hang onto most of them.

"So we're going to be very, very young having lost the experience that we did last year."

[the claw]

hmm if all the rumour and innuendo is correct

retired
cuz
simmo
polak rookie.

delisted no particular order.
mcmahon
polo
nahas
hislop
thomson
gilligan rookie
roberts rookie.

trades
thursfield
tambling.

thats 12 and fair dinkum you could do another half dozen with your eyes closed.
if we do only 9 or 10 including rookies i will be disappointed. especially when you consider the likelyhood of gourdis being promoted.

will say again do what ever has to be done but end up with picks that will go something like 6, 15 - 25, 29, 40, 46, 63, plus a psd pick and 4 rookie picks. with gourdis being promoted that leaves just 10 new faces.
personally i would like another 2 late nd target myles sewell and one of the ruckmen from the vfl and wa cant think of their names atm but have mentioned them im sure. geez i hate mental blanks.

dont count the trades as any trade out will be countered with a trade in. Nahas i think still has a year on his contract? but even still I see what you mean, 8 or 9 is pretty predictable

I hope we keep all our Draft Picks and trade those players away for Draft Picks.
