Dunno, was only one game we had vision of really.  Liked Ah Chee better but Rioli went alright as well.  Some of the others the vision was of them turning it over for most of the vids...had whipping boys written all over them.

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.

Draft Ah Chee or another player who is better than Rioli and get them to change their surname to Rioli.

Some video clips of those mentioned in relation to us by Twomey on the AFL website:

Clayton Oliver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5eGZepg0EM

Callum Ah Chee: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RceusGHMUG8

Ryan Burton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wrVwAZKayg
                    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24yXnawpt6E

Darcy Tucker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQC-iEJNxKs

Rhys Mathieson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4tLObz2yb4

Jade Gresham: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6FOzkBdv7w

Daniel Rioli: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLGiZdR9z-M
Oliver the best from that lot by a mile IMO.
And to be honest none of them really jumped out at me.
I just hope we look past the "good character" type this year and go with a bit of flair and X factor. Something we desperately lack as a footy club.

Would like to get Oliver if he gets through to us as well, very clean by hand and foot.  Good mark, strong in the packs but he might of tanked out early.  Looks a bit pudgy.

I rate him highly though he does have a touch of Lance Whitnall about him....

Hibberd, Ah Chee, Tucker or Burton for me in that order. Hibberd ticks all the boxes with kicking and running a highlight. Big decision coming up the the recruiting team. Go out with a bang FJ :clapping

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.

https://twitter.com/BrettAndersonIF/with_replies

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.
Whether true or not, there's talk of concerns of the go-home factor with Francis. The Crows will probably get him at 9 anyway.

Also, Worsfold apparently mentioned at his press conference that they were interested in someone fast with one of their first two picks. So some journos thinking that could mean Milera. That would mean Weiderman slips to at least 7, if the Suns go for Oliver at 6.

Twomey also saying Oliver will be gone inside the top 10.

1. Carl - Weitering
2. Bris - Schache
3. Melb - Curnow
4. Ess - Parish
5. Ess - Milera
6. GC - Oliver
7. Melb - Weiderman
8. Carl -
9. Adel - Francis
10. GWS -
11. Carl -
12. Rich -

Will Harley Balic slide to us? Would far prefer him to Mathieson.

Id be happy to take a tall at 12. One of Ryan Burton, Kieran Collins, Charlie Curnow,  would do me.
Would offer pick 12 for Mathew Kennedy and see if gws come to the party which is likely.
With our second pick i would go for Oleg Markov if still there which i doubt. He is  a kid i wanted us to take last year.

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?

yeah, id generally prefer not to 'reach' with our first pick for someone that is generally rated 15 odd spots back
