RICHMOND has expressed interest in recruiting Brisbane Lions small forward Todd Banfield at Wednesday's NAB AFL Rookie Draft.
 
The Lions delisted Banfield earlier this month but committed to redrafting him as a rookie, however the Tigers are believed to be keen on the small forward.
 
The Lions are considering their position on the 23-year-old, given the club's first pick in the rookie draft comes before Richmond's.
 
The Tigers have one spare spot on their senior list and hold a pre-season draft selection, but are likely to head into the season with a shorter primary list.
 
Banfield didn't play a game for the Lions in 2013, but has kicked 57 goals from his 53 games for the club.

He'd be available after the rookie draft for peel thunder 

[bojangles17]

Geez we ve gone overboard on FP, if this comes off, hard to believe he wasn't in bris best 22 , he looked like being anything 3 years ago

[tigs2011]

White replacement. Runs like the wind. Can't kick.

[blaisee]

Hope we take him

[YellowandBlackBlood]

I think we are trying to spook Brisbane into picking him with their first pick as they are probably eying of the same players as us which allows us to take first pick of the those.

> thomas

[Francois Jackson]

I hope we take him and not that lonergan spud

We have next to no smells(kings almost done) so can't hurt

if chasing a mature forward id like to see us give a bloke like ryan lester smith a go or a kid like  ben sokal.
but why are we chasing sml forwards.

king lloyd mcdonough s edwards not enough or maybe just not good enough. if they are happy with who they have they dont need to chase another.
geez then you have to fit in mediums ohanlon, a edwards, petterd, knights  and gordon bloody hell no wonder im laughing my head off at all the excuses.

computer says no

[tigs2011]

Lester smith isn't available.

[the claw]

Lester smith isn't available.

yes he is. if freo dont take him as a f/a he can be taken. they will have to nominate him before the rookie draft.

what i dont get is the love for banfield. why do people fall in love with players who are nothing but quick. fair dinkum lloyd is a much better player  and lo and behold is a sml forward.
i can see it now thomas and banfield and the rot will continue to set in.

why are we so keen on a bloke who cant find the ball doesnt actually kick a lot of goals and who imo has poor foot skills. but wait he runs real quick.
its funny im lambasted by just about everyone here but i at least stick to some pretty basic principals. not the least demanding a basic skill requirement.

[tigs2011]

Freo already nominated him.

Lol.  Thought the same thing myself.
