List analyst & manager, Blair Hartley [merged]

[Judge Roughneck]

Well said redan

[WilliamPowell]

We have part time scouts in other states. They watch and then forward reports on the "possibles/probables"  to FJ and the recruiting dept who then get tapes have a look at highlighted players and if they think the players are worth a closer look the full time recruiters go and have a closer look

And just on this
 

I think Hartley actually does this at the moment. Where else would he have seen Maric and Morris if they were both his picks?

See above.

Clubs can basically get vision of any player playing in the 2nd teir comps Australia wide these days as well as the kids in the Under 18

Hartley's job is not that as a recruiter as such (not sure he travels interstate much at all to watch players) his main job is to analyse every other club in the comps list and find players who may suit the needs of the RFC give this info to the recruiters and they go and watch.

As stated in the original article of this thread

"Richmond then came calling, giving Hartley the imprimatur to forensically dissect the Tigers' list, identify the shortcomings and then scour the other [then] 16 clubs to determine whether the holes could be filled without paying a king's ransom or using prized first-round draft picks.

BTW the artilce also says Hartley called out Steve Morris' name at the draft, this isn't correct; FJ does all the name calling at the draft.

I remember FJ saying he had gone to Adelaide to watch Morris on a number of occasions over 2 year period

Anyone advocating the Club should look at getting David Hille as a back up to big Ivan should get a replay of last night's game  .

I said it once and I'll say it again - he has been a very good player over the years but he's cooked.

I would have said over cooked but now

he is burnt to a crisp more to the point

Just on players to look at,regarding a key back

What about Stephen Gilham (will be 28 going into 2013)?

Has struggled this year coming back from his knee reco but that is quite the norm for reco's these days

But I reckon he is still a good solid defender and I doubt he'd cost much?

thoughts?

talking of north anyone rate cam pederson he is  killing them in the vfl apparently but is not getting a game because of tarrant hansen and petrie.

aaron black is another not getting a game i was highly impressed with him as a junior had a bit of injury would love for us to have a crack at him.
 still on north anyone like levi greenwood big bodied inside mid seems to struggle to get a regular game again hes had his injury issues as well.

some mids who i liked as juniors and hoped we would get a crack at em.

mitch hallahan at hawthorn finding it very hard to break into their midfield. koby stevens at wce by all reports he is going home only concern i have with him is kicking. daniel farmer at collingwood is another really liked him but for what ever reason has done little at collingwood.

two state league players no make that 3 from the vfl i would for us to at least rookie, sam dwyer, tom sundberg brad mirra.

two from the wafl tom lee and max duffy. claremont has a big tall atm who really impressed me but cant for the life of me think of his name.

geez i hope we are having a good look in these areas.

does anyone like the look of jesse white at sydney he has some real talent and for whatever reason just has not fulfilled it hes no longer getting a game at sydney and we sure could do with a big genuine ruck forward to use in tandem with maric.

sorry getting carried away and rambling i know the long posts pee people off. just some fodder for the thought processes.

Ok, went searching for the answer as none of us appeared to be on top of it.  Here is the list of activated picks for the upcoming 2012 draft:

FIVE clubs have strengthened their position in this year's NAB AFL Draft by activating compensation picks before Tuesday's deadline.

The Western Bulldogs, Greater Western Sydney, Melbourne, the Brisbane Lions and Richmond will all have extra picks in the November draft, which club recruiters are rating as the strongest in years.

The AFL awarded the compensation picks to clubs who lost uncontracted players to new teams Gold Coast and the Giants.

The Bulldogs have activated the round one pick they received for Callan Ward, which will fall immediately after the club's 2012 round one pick, plus the round three selection they received for Sam Reid.

Melbourne has activated both selections - a round one and a mid-round one - it received for Tom Scully's defection to the Giants.

The mid-round one selection will be taken between the picks of this year's ninth and eighth-placed clubs.

The Lions will have an extra selection at the end of the first round after activating the pick they received for Michael Rischitelli's departure to the Suns.

Richmond has opted to use the round two selection it received in a trade from Port Adelaide. The Power received the pick as compensation for Nathan Krakouer.

And Greater Western Sydney will use the round one pick it received in a trade from Adelaide. The Crows got the pick as compensation for the loss of now Giants co-captain Phil Davis.

Greater Western Sydney, Geelong, Gold Coast and West Coast all still hold compensation picks that they have decided not to use this year.

They can be activated in any draft up until 2014 for Suns compensation picks, or 2015 for Giants compensation picks.
