Preseason & Rookie Drafts discussion thread [merged]

Fordham, Jackson, Keitel & Preuss from that lot. Tall quick mid, tall shut down defender who can read it in the air (would be happy just to find another Thursfield at this point -2008 pre-injury model of course.), tall athletic swingman & young 6 ' 9 ruck. Would swap Keitel for a nippy little crumber though  - or Shane Nelson. Sam Grimley or Darcy Cameron still my preferred ruck options.

Who cares. The recruiters don't appear to much.....Just pick anyone.

Welcome to the club guys

we need a 9foot ruck man who can play like a small midfielder with steels rat traps for hands with cheese on them and horses hooves for feet for no particular reason cept I think it would be stuffing hilarious.

two picks eh. two of  tyler kietel, darcy cameron and oleg markov who  i had on a par with menadue, injury has hurt him a lot but imo he can play.

[Diocletian]

We'll have three picks not including Arnot & Thomarse. Hackson on SEN reckoned everybody we regarded as draftable was taken in the draft so sounds like they don't rate any of the kids that missed out that highly.

[Judge Roughneck]

Duck if only, they like, traded up or traded for any pick, or something.

Too much playing with jacks foot and wooing armitage

[Diocletian]

Make of Hackson's remarks what you will but to me it says we'll probably be going down the matured aged/ recycled hacks path again now.  Hopefully that'll at least include the likes of Sam Grimley...more likely though, it'll include the likes of Ash Smith.

Braydon Preuss for ruck backup.

Tyler Keitel as a KPP to see if he develops.

There are more KPP's besides Keitel also.

Rookie and pre-season draft order announced: Who could your club target?

Richmond

Pre-season draft selections: 4

Rookie draft selections: 11, 29, 46, 61, 68, 72.

What they need: The Tigers addressed the need to deepen their midfield stocks at the NAB AFL Draft by recruiting Corey Ellis, Connor Menadue, Nathan Drummond and small forward Daniel Butler, who has scope to play up the ground. They also threw in a tall key forward – Reece McKenzie – as a raw, developing option. Taylor Hunt is another key addition to the midfield after joining them as a delisted free agent last month.

With the likes of Anthony Miles, Matt Thomas and Ricky Petterd progressing to senior footy after starting at their second club as rookies, the Tigers could again aim for delisted AFL players looking for a second chance.

They won't pick in the pre-season draft and will instead focus on rookies - Matt Arnot will be one of them after being delisted from the senior list.

[Yeahright]

Didn't our all knowing list manager in Claw say we had 2 rookie picks? Do I trust him over the AFL site saying 4? I don't know what to believe

[Judge Roughneck]

Arnot  and Thomas I'm assuming is the two the great one is getting at
