Nothing that we didn't know already but Caro just said on 3aw that Richmond told Polak a month ago that he is guaranteed a spot on our rookie list.

Liam Patrick and Roland Ah Chee will train with the Gold Coast prior to the rookie draft. So that's who they are interested in taking.

Shame we don't have both training with us for the PSD spot

Gold Coast looks to grab another Ablett - Luke
December 10, 2009
 
THE Gold Coast has spoken to three delisted AFL players - Luke Ablett, Robert Shirley and Daniel Harris - about joining the club as mature-age recruits who will play with the fledgling club's VFL team next year and then in the AFL in 2011.

While Luke Ablett's name is the most interesting to outsiders, given that the former Sydney player is a cousin of Nathan and Gary Ablett, the new club is also considering former Adelaide tagger Shirley, and Harris, the inside midfielder who found himself out of favour at Arden Street.

The Gold Coast wants to sign players with AFL experience immediately and is expected to draft at least one mature-age rookie - a player aged over 23 who has been on a club list - in Tuesday's rookie draft, in which the new club has the first five choices. Ablett, Shirley and Harris, thus, are vying for spots on the list (the Gold Coast can pick a maximum of two mature rookies), though another club also could pick them up in the pre-season draft (before the Gold Coast) or with subsequent selections.

The Gold Coast is expected to draft two or three players who have been on an AFL list. In addition to mature rookies, it can select other seasoned players who are 23 and under, many of whom will be picked in the rookie draft. It wants these players to provide the strong bodies to support an outstanding collection of young talent in 2011.

...........

Richmond, meanwhile, plans to draft Graham Polak, whom it dropped off the list, as a mature-age rookie. Polak made it back to play senior football late in 2009 after suffering serious head injuries in 2008.

Every club can select up to two mature-age rookies, in addition to regular rookie-list players. Tuesday's rookie draft is immediately after the pre-season draft for uncontracted and delisted players, and is effectively now a continuation of that draft.

do you think that the Gold Coast would look at Mark Coughlan?

Just reported on local radio that Gols Coast have signed Liam Patrick.

thanks One-Eyed.

it looks like tomorrow is the last training session for those 10 players.

unless there is a training session on Monday?

would Grimes still be favourite for that last spot?

Yeah there is training sessions on Mondays but not sure if all those ring-ins will still be training with us. I'd take a guess whoever is going pick 2 in the PSD will still be as they would know by then if we will be picking them up given Melbourne has said it is selecting Joel McDonald. We have the first live pick.

I don't know who is favourite. Grimes was just a guess as I don't think he will last to our first rookie pick.

This is what they think on the AFL page..

RICHMOND
Pre-season selections: 1 (2)
Rookie selections: 6 (7, 23, 38, 51, 62, 70)
Locked in: Jamie O'Reilly - international
Needs: The Tigers are likely to target players across each position, although a focus could be on tall and mid-sized defender/forwards. Players with strong kicking skills will also be a focus.
In their sights: Youngsters Dylan Grimes and Robbie Hicks are believed to be serious contenders for the Tigers' second pick in the pre-season draft, and could also be claimed in the rookie draft. Eastern's Jayden Cass and Josh Free, the son of former Richmond skipper Tony, are also in the rookie mix. Expect big man Graham Polak to be redrafted as a rookie.

His kicking for goal certainly looks good, as does his technique
Haven't seen him play live though so can't really judge his field kicking
