PSD targets / Who Will We Pick In PSD

[Francois Jackson]

miller better be looking thats for sure because im my opinion he is on his last legs.

[Mini Tiger]

Well it is fact that the Sarge wanted to leave Richmond, it will be interesting to see if he chances his luck in the PSD himself or sticks with the club. EDIT: Actually, I think he is contracted, so probably has to stick with us, and maybe this is why we didn't trade him, might have had to pay some of his wage?

It will also be interesting to see who we do get in the next couple of drafts, PSD and National. Bit sad that this is the time of year at least I know will be interesting for the RFC.

if Cousins has the all clear from the AFL ... he will take him ... and i think we should !!!

Miller said the Tigers were still considering all their options in regard to the No. 1 selection.

"We will be looking to get the best possible player in the pre-season draft," he said. "Maybe that will be a junior, someone who has been overlooked in the (national) draft."

I'd prefer us doing this and giving another kid a chance than picking up some recycled dud who'll be gone after just one year. Preferably a young KPP. We should have done this last year both in the PSD and rookies instead of going with Kingsley and Tas. It made no sense whatsoever rookieing Tas when we had some many of his type already on our list.

Weren't we talking to Collier last year about a PSD pick but decided on KK instead??

Now he's a top 15 pick.

Wasn't Collier overlooked in last year's draft?

Correct, which is why were looking at him for the PSD.

Alot changes in a year.  Although was dreadfully unlucky not get picked last year in the national draft.

Perhaps last year he was seen as being that in-between height. Being from Tassie he is also from 2nd division footy compared to a kid from Vic, SA or WA.

There has been similar players in the past who were rated highly by some pre-draft and missed out completely. Kirkby who ended up on the Hawks' rookie list (picked up after Thursty in 2004) was one. He was also delisted after just one year. Toovey who is now with the Pies was also looked the first time.

Does being overlooked last year give Collier the right to bypass the National draft this year and just nominate for the PSD?

Not sure MT.  But Jordan Lewis was another that wasnt taken in his first year . . .

This from BF and the Sunday Mail

Richmond has thrown Crows discard Darren Pfeiffer a lifeline by giving him the chance to impress at pre-season training.

Snapped up by Adelaide with pick 17 in 2005, he will begin training with the Tigers at Punt Road next Monday.

Pfeiffer's manager, Liam Pickering, confirmed several clubs had shown interest in the 183cm half back/wingman, but said no promises had been made by Richmond.

No where near.  This is an unproven kid at 20 who string good SANFL games together but has been unprofessional at the Crows.

KK was what, 28?, and was clearly spent with not much left in him.

Pfeiffer would've just turned 20 and has a potential career infront of him, rather than a KK who's career was behind him.


EDIT: Although I'd prefer to take him as a rookie, no doubt about that.

[Ramps]

Went high in 2005. People talk about his attitude, i reckon attitude can be sorted. From what I saw the concern is twofold, first- disposal and second lets say he needs to find abit of aggression on the field.

hope Miller is not milking the delisted from other teams when there is talent in this draft

[one-eyed]

Guernsey Number: 19
Height: 183cm
Weight: 81kg
Recruited From: Norwood
Birth Day: 28 September 1987

Pfeiffer was Adelaide's first pick (17th overall) at the 2005 NAB AFL Draft. He was named All-Australian after the 2005 NAB Under-18 Championships where he had the fourth most kicks in division one. In his first season at AFL level, Pfeiffer could only manage five senior SANFL games and seven in the reserves, after missing the first half of the season with a back injury. In the seniors for Norwood he won his fair share of the ball averaging 19 disposals.

Crows' Pfeiffer has cheekbone surgery
Posted Tue Mar 27, 2007 8:15pm AEST

Adelaide Crows youngster Darren Pfeiffer has had surgery on a fractured cheekbone, after he was hit outside an Adelaide hotel at the weekend.

The Crows allege that Pfeiffer was hit from behind after leaving a friend's birthday celebration.

Adelaide says its investigation suggests there was no provocation from Pfeiffer, and he is expected to miss at least four weeks.
