Tiger target leads to draft re-think
By Jay Clark
Herald-Sun
Thurs 24 NOV 2011, Page 88


RICHMOND is poised to find another forward in tonight's draft to help lighten the goalscoring load on Jack Riewoldt next season.

In a surprise development yesterday, it emerged the Tigers were eyeing South Fremantle goalkicker Shane Kersten with its pick No.15.

The Tigers caused a major reshuffle of the draft order when rival clubs learned of their strong interest in the 191cm leading forward.

Kersten, 18, was thought to be headed to Fremantle at pick 20, but if he isn't taken by Greater Western Sydney, he seems bound for Punt Rd.

While marking is a major feature of his game, Kersten's exceptional kicking skills would also interest Richmond..

The news means the Dockers are set to move on inside midfielder Clay Smith, forcing the Western Bulldogs, which desperately want Smith, into reconsidering their position.

On Tuesday the Dogs flew another inside midfielder, Shane Kerridge, from his home in Mildura to Whitten Oval for talks.

It is understood coach Brendan McCartney wants a contested ball-winner to help build a midfield around.

Kerridge was tipped to be taken in the 30s.

I hope it doesn't happen. Prefer others instead.

Would much rather prefer Markworth who could still play at Half Forward but take a turn in the midfield than Kersten.

Smoke and mirrors people. What club reveals their true intentions prior to the draft? Well except for GWS who can blab all they want.

I'm hoping it's a smoke screen to cause confusion and get somebody to slide to 26.

I would be more than happy with Kersten at #15 he defiantly fills a need!
FJ must believe there will still be some midfield depth left over a #26.....
