pick#12

[Yeahright]

Pick 19 would have been handy

[Diocletian]

Indeed.....

[Stalin]

Or could have gone crazy and traded a player out

[Raoul Duke]

Harrison Mckay? What do we think and what do we know?
RICHMOND
Pick 12: Harry McKay, an athletic tall who moves well for a 200cm player and kicks goals.

Don't mind the look of Mckay but looks pretty raw. Still 17yo and already 200 cm   

Seems like he has pretty decent speed & agility for that size too.
Will be interesting to see if his brother gets  taken also. I'd have no issue with him being taken as both McBean & Griffiths are all hype & no substance.
That said ya cant show ya talents on the big stage if your never getting selected.

Callum Twomey and Nat Edwards' latest draft discussion goes through each of the clubs.

RICHMOND

* Their first pick at 12 is not as clear cut as last year when they were focused on mids like Lachie Weller, Corey Ellis and Liam Duggan. In the end they got Corey Ellis.

* Do they look at a Ryan Burton - a tall talented forward who may be that star that lifts them up the ladder; or do they go for a ballwinner like Rhys Mathieson or a Jade Gresham.

* Tiger supporters tweeting Twomey the most about needing a small forward. They probably do but do you go for a Callum Ah Chee at 12? A tiny bit too high. On his talent it's not but on his year it is.

* Daniel Rioli is another who keeps getting mentioned but if they want him they'll have to go for him at 12 as he won't be there at pick 52. It'll surprise Twomey if they go that way.

* They've seen a fair bit of Josh Dunkley over the course of the year. Maybe a touch too high for him.

* They've also seen Clayton Oliver play for them. He's a prospect who is dangling around the first round. Twomey can't work out in his draft order where Oliver is going to be yet. Oliver is one to watch out for over the coming 4 weeks.

Dunkley is the type in recent times FJ could go for at pick 12. A overall solid junior footballer with one of the lowest risks at that selection, as opposed to a riskier kid who could turn out to be either a A-grade hit or a total bust.  I find it hard to see why else Dunkley has avoided being a Swan father-son unless he feels confident he'll end up at another club he wants to go to. Otherwise, he could end up anywhere in the country or at bottom clubs such as Brisbane, Melbourne or Carlton.

Josh Dunkley will have another three weeks to decide whether he nominates as a father-son to the Sydney Swans or enters the open draft after the AFL extended the deadline for nominations.

The League's first deadline for nominations under the rule is on Friday, October 30, when players can be named as possible father-son recruits.

Dunkley is expected to be nominated by the Swans as part of this process this week.

However, that does not lock him in to joining the Swans at next month's NAB AFL Draft, with his final decision required by the second deadline on November 20, just four days before names are called at the Adelaide Convention Centre.

If Dunkley does choose to nominate as a father-son to the club where his dad Andrew played 217 games from 1992-2002, the Swans will then need to wait until a bid comes during the night before deciding whether to match it.

The Swans and Dunkley will continue to discuss the possibility of him nominating as a father-son pick in the lead-up to the draft, with both parties needing to agree.

I havent had time to watch them all and i know it highlights but like the look of Clayton Oliver, seems strong in the hips and rarely goes to ground also has a bit of mongrel in him it seems.

[one-eyed]

Seems Oliver will be gone by our pick.

Brett Anderson now saying Curnow will go at 3 to Melb, Parish at 4/5 to Essendon and Oliver to the Suns at 6.

Yep that's the word and Weiderman with be the bummers 2nd pick. Hard to tell after 6 apart from GWS at 10 which will be Hopper. Expecting McKay to go to the wooden spooners at 8 or 11 also and Milera or Burton to Adelaide at 9.

I reckon Tucker, Gresham or Ah Chee at 12 to us. All may well be available but very likely at least 2.

Would love Aaron Francis if he drifted to 12....

Was thinking the same about Francis last week. Could the a huge big bodied mid in years to come. Tucker looks the perfect fit for FJ and his team but Ah Chee is appealing. The interview with Gale the night on the B&F he did say a couple of classy small forwards will be around our pick 12.....Rioli?

Would anyone actually be disappointed if we pulled the trigger with Rioli at 12?

I would. He could be good but is a huge risk. At 12 you should take players the are almost guaranteed to be very very good. He would have been perfect for 31.....

I get what your saying but he's no more a risk than any other player and one thing is for sure, there are NO guarantees in the draft.I don't know where his
perceived place is in this draft  but he'll be gone by our 2nd & more than likely gone by 31 too.For me though could never be disappointed seeing the name Rioli back at Tigerland.
