Jaydoen Laverde looks like a pretty promising prospect. Good size and can do it all by the looks of it.

Im hearing that he is very well liked by the Richmond recruiting team
Seems that way. Usually it turns out to be true.  :lol

If Jake Owen is still available in the 3rd or 4th round, GET HIM!

From the Bound For Glory site:

TAC Cup radio commentator and draft expert Paige Cardona is back to roll out the third edition of her phantom draft series. With plenty of movement in the first round, Paige goes the full whack and delivers four complete rounds comprising of over 70 draft profiles.

Academy and father-son selections have been taken into account, whilst a number of 19-year-olds overlooked in 2013 find their way into Paige’s mock draft. A few players passed over for national draft combine invites are also mentioned, whilst Paige tips that one particular former AFL player gets an AFL reprieve.

...........

Pick 7: Richmond - Lachie Weller

Position: Midfielder
Height: 181 cm, Weight: 71 kg, DOB: 23/02/1996
Club: Broadbeach
Projected draft range: 6-15
Player comparison: Dayne Beams

Incredibly underrated and by far one of the most polished kicks of the draft, Lachie Weller’s outside polish will address the need for speed and outside flair for the Tigers.  A brilliant decision maker, and a player that plays with a certain flair, Weller has been part of Gold Coast’s Academy. However, he is ineligible to be selected by them in the bidding process, given he hasn’t resided in Queensland long enough to warrant a zone selection. Weller is arguably the most well-rounded and refined midfielder in this year’s draft crop. The medium-sized midfielder wins his own ball on the inside, and can hurt the opposition on the outside. An exciting speedster that is pure silk, Weller makes good decisions with the ball in hand, but his work-ethic, gut-running and efficient link up play are outstanding traits that dominated the National Championships in division two.  He and his St Kilda-listed brother Maverick are polar opposites, but Weller junior is the pick of the two. He has terrific hands and an equally brilliant kick. He’s got serious depth in the way he moves the ball by foot, whether long or short, and is a danger at the stoppages where his clearance and tackling rate are of the highest quality. Quite a busy, high-production midfielder, Weller has played senior NEAFL football as well as benefiting from having access to Gold Coast as a part of their academy. He wins a heap of the footy, kicks goals and is a well-rounded leader for his age. He averaged 18.3 disposals at 75 per cent disposal efficiency, along with a goal, two marks and two clearances a game during the National Championships.

A Weller from QLD.  God help us.

I have a general concern in drafting a Div 2 guy in the first round.  Tambling is responsible for creating that concern.
