From Callum Twomey's Top 30 phantom form guide:

Full guide: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-11-18/callum-twomeys-phantom-form-guide-november-edition

------------------------



POS: Half-forward, Ht 178cm, Wt 68kg, DOB 8/12/98
From South Fremantle/Western Australia

Bolton is the type of player who could make us look pretty silly for having him so deep on this list. His talent is top-end: he can jump high and run quick (he did the 20-metre sprint in 2.95 seconds), take big marks, kick clever goals and produce freakish moments. His run and carry is what makes him different to other prospects, and the indigenous teenager is able to break the lines like few others.

Where does he go? His talent is so immense that it wouldn't surprise if a club went for him a little earlier than expected. He most likely sits somewhere in the second round, with the Western Bulldogs, St Kilda, Carlton and Richmond among the possibilities. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



POS: Midfielder/half-forward, Ht 186cm, Wt 83kg, DOB 8/1/98
From East Perth/Western Australia

Powell-Pepper brings some genuine power to the draft. He's the midfield bull who will charge at a stoppage not fearing what's in the way. He can sometimes blaze away by foot, but he is a long kick and good overhead. He is also a great endurance athlete, so combines his explosive streak with an ability to go all day. Last year he played as a half-back, and this year showed his development by pushing up the ground to the midfield and at times across half-forward. 

Where does he go? Collingwood, Richmond and St Kilda have all been linked to Powell-Pepper in the second round. West Coast could swoop if he gets through to No.34, which is unlikely.

Q. Who's in the mix with Richmonds first pick?

Callum Twomey:
Could Elliott Himmelberg be in the mix? A tall forward who could come in and play a role to help fill the Vickery void. Cedric Cox may be a chance too if he's still on the board.

Power Pepper for mine.
Bolton has too much of the Tambling look

"Going to be posting my Mock Draft at 5.30pm. Top 40 only..Few surprises in there. Tigers fan should be thrilled with their first pick"

https://twitter.com/NCreely
Here's Creely's top 40 mock draft: https://nickcreely.wordpress.com/2016/11/17/nick-creely-mock-afl-draft-2016/

He has us picking Kobe Mutch with our first pick.

30. Kobe Mutch (GWS Academy, 184cm Midfielder) – Richmond

It is inevitable that GWS have to let some of their academy players slip through, and that works in the favour of the Tigers. Mutch is a prolific and consistent ball winner who tackles, something the Tigers seriously lack. Could make an impact in 2017, and looks like a real steal.

RICHMOND lost Ty Vickery and delisted Liam McBean, so a forward might be on the menu.

Battle and Pat Kerr could and should be there at No.27. But with a list that drops away dramatically after the first few players, the Tigers simply need the best available.

One i would like is Griffen Logue from wa. but i dont think he will get to us. One who gets little mention is the lad from sa Jack Graham.
Sam Powell - Pepper or Tim English are another two w/a lads i would not turn my nose up at.
Well we got one i liked

Im still dirty with the direction the club took going all the way back to the trade period. Instead of  trading in players and losing nd picks  i still think we needed to keep pick  6 plus  try and trade into the top 5 somehow.
Any two of MCluggage Brodie, Logue, petrevski - seton  would have been a treat and we could have traded for Prestia with a future nd pick.

Not happy with the bolton pick not having a go at his talent but more about the type he is.

Can also tell you some factual evidence via a recruiter. He said they were all waiting on the Gibbs deal to go through which would mean pick 13 would eventually make its way to us for Deledio. We then would have given that to GC for Prestia. When it became obvious that wasn't going to happen, we relinquished pick 6. :thumbsup
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Overall, I'd say our off season recruiting has gone in the right direction - particularly if we keep our 2 x 1st rounders and 2nd round pick next year.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

We traded next year's second round pick to Gold Coast as part of the Prestia trade.

Damn, that didn't last long. Sack M.Clarke thread is probably being made as we speak
