2017 AFL Draft thread

[Slipper]

Joel Garner sounds a likely type. Anyone know much about him other than what is on the AFL website?

Sounds like he would be around at one of our first round picks, and sounds like he might be a Houli replacement going forward.

And there are lots of jokes about Joel Garner....

The likely Richmond father-son pick has had a terrific season that saw him selected in the NAB AFL Under-18 All Australian side after the national championships. The son of former Tiger Chris is a light-bodied midfielder who has shown a penchant for pushing forward and kicking goals. He's a long and driving kick, and has a genuine goal-sense to his game that makes him a dangerous player. Will need to add some size, but his development this year has been promising and he loves to take things on.

Brander(195)  & Hayes (203) sound decent.

Can someone please explain how this works.

can we keep the 2 first rounders and then select this guy with later picks?

We'll have to give up a first rounder if someone puts in a bid after our first pick.
Say we have pick 16, if someone bids any higher than that for him we have to give up pick 16 if we want him.
If no one bids on him in the first round then we can get him with points from accumulated later picks.

Dont you mean if someone puts in a bid before our first pick?

Swans win carries silver lining for Tigers

afl.com.au
12 September 2017

A SYDNEY victory on Friday night against Geelong will carry a silver lining for Richmond supporters.

A Cats loss would move the Tigers up one spot in the first round of the 2017 NAB AFL Draft, from 15th to 14th as Richmond secured Geelong's first pick when it was on-traded to the Tigers last year from Greater Western Sydney to secure Brett Deledio.

That would give the Tigers an extra 49 draft bidding points to use on potential father-son selection Patrick Naish, who is likely to attract a bid within the top 20 selections at the November draft.

It might not seem much but it could help the Tigers secure Naish and retain the second pick if another club bids for the father-son prospect before Richmond's first selection.

Even if the second pick was pushed back after the bidding process, the points may leave the Tigers a valuable spot higher in the draft order in the second round.

Although Tiger fans might prefer to see the Swans eliminated from the premiership race, given their potential to be a tough match-up if they happen to face them in a Grand Final, Richmond supporters could at least find solace in the elevated draft position.

The Tigers will also benefit marginally from a Giants loss to West Coast with its current pick No.50 potentially moving up to pick No.49 depending on semi-final results.

Richmond did not have a top 20 pick last season but has developed a list good enough to make this season's preliminary final.

Not worth two of our teen picks (stringer). Need one for Balta

Is Bolta good enough for top 20??

Draft him

Yep, sure was.

I know his father, who is also a big Tigers fan, and I tried to get his dad to get Nat to leave Freo and go to the Tigers.

But I said he would have to take a sizeable pay cut.
