2007 NAB Draft

[mightytiges]

So we're going to gift the Blues both Kreuzer and Cotchin  if they miss out on Judd.

[Ramps]

Depending on how late we go in the draft, id take a chance on a full forward from WA called Tony Notte. Very Skinny Kid but he can play. Hes a 3 year project. McGinnity and Ellard will also be good players to pick up later in the draft.

Richmond should go mostly Western Australian in this draft

[Morton Rance Masten] [Myers] [Notte McGinnity Ellard] and maybe 1 or 2 others.

I think the Club has issues with Masten's attitude even before he developed OP. I asked about him and was told "he's a bit of a hothead isn't he"  ???. West Coast apparently don't rate Morton in their top 5 so interesting we rate him top 3 in the draft.

I hope we don't get sidetracked by the Judd shanannagins during trade week and still look at ways of upgrading either pick 18 or 19 into the top 10. There's no way we could get a Rance or Myers otherwise unless we took Rance at 2.

according to bigfooty morton is a big headed arrogant prick as well but we're still interested.

still think cotchin is our man, and really hope the club takes him, if it is going to be someone else i'd only really want to take kreuzer or masten. masten is a bartel type player and you need that type of player out on the ground

Agree bluey. Draft camp is next week btw IIRC.

Kevin Sheehan summary on SEN

Ashley Arrowsmith - midfield/forward - kicking superior to anyone else in the GF in hitting targets - 4 goals.

Darcy Daniher was the other standout. F/S for either Swans or Bombers.

Draft camp starts Tues. Club officials head up Wednesday. Looking for that X-factor - athletic ability on top of football ability that will separate similarly rated draftees.

Matt Deledio - Different to Lids. Strongly built, head over the ball inside midfielder. Did well yesterday.

Sheehan's top 4 draftees:
Kreuzer
Rhys Palmer - best in the champs.
Cale Morton  - was terrific all year
Cotchin - Gary Ablett Jnr type. Well balance, skilled both side midfielder with pace.

have there been talks about Richmond taking Cotchin ???

The RFC considers Kreuzer, Cotchin and Cale Morton are the clear top 3 in this year's draft. Carlton have said publicly they'll take Kreuzer with pick 1 so Cotchin is ours if we want him.

[one-eyed]

The Eagles obviously rate Kreuzer and Cotchin as 1 & 2.

The Eagles had already interviewed prospective early draft picks Matt Kreuzer and Trent Cotchin — both Victorians from the Northern Knights — as part of their preparations for the Judd trade; one of that pair could only end up at West Coast in the event of a trade with the Blues (pick three would be unlikely to net Kreuzer, though).

So much for the Eagles wanting Morton. It seems only us are tossing up who to pick up at #2  .

[Ramps]

Its all a game of bluff at the moment, no one knows what WCE really want ... as for us, we should be dealing with WCE to give them 2 for Judd and them getting Judd to understand that Punt Rd isnt such a bad place lol.

Miller: "Hey Juddy, do you really want to be around Joffa or Barb 24/7? Punt Rd doesn't sound too bad now does it!"

just a question?

can carlton trade priority pick no1?

if they can, i have a feling they will give pick 1 to the eagles as part of teh judd deal and the eagles will pick cotchin with that pick , so i guess we will take kruezer

lets pray to god someone frikken decent ends up in the psd, knowing our luck, we have 1st pick and it will be a pool full of rejects and duds

They are adamant (well Swann was on SEN) that pick 1 is NOT on the table.

They will not give Kruezner - no way
