Your final predictions for Saturday's draft?
« on: November 27, 2008, 07:18:18 PM »
Only around 36 hours to go until D-day.

Time to put your draft guru typing fingers on the line and predict/guess who we are going to select with our picks.

8.
26.
58.
70.

I am going to go with my best guess not necessarily what I hope for.  Personally I want Vickery at 8. which would change the rest of the picks but anyway

8  Ziebell
26 Roughead
58 Tom Hill
70 Jetta (but I would be surprised if he is still there at 70)

I like the afl phantom draft and I reckon we need a small farward like Cockie so expect him with Vickery, Post and maybe Hislop. Not in that order of course.

Suban at 58 lolol.
If he was still there at our second pick that would be good.

Im predicting that our football department will sleep in late and will be unable to get to the meeting on time, the Richmond hoardes will descend upon Punt Rd Oval... Richmonds administration will be seen running from Punt Rd at 1 million miles per hour  ;D

8. Vickery
26. McKernan
58. Cockie
70. Cockshell

Pick 26 will probably be Post given we've been linked strongly to him but for something different I tipped someone to surprisingly slip to our second pick that we won't be expecting to. Cleve did the same in 2005 as did Rance last year.

Pick 70 - I just got a feeling we'll pick up a recycled tall even though I don't want us too.

This is were I have issues with our club taking recycled types ... Instead of taking Cockshell, if someone like Luke Thompson is available...why not take that kid. Recycleds have got us nowhere fast for 25 years...Its time to stop that particular policy. Take bottom age kids at 58 and 70. I will be bitterly disappointed if we waste a pick on a recycled player.

I agree Ramps. Short term pain for long term gain when you are rebuilding and developing a young list. If you finish lower on the ladder then so be it if it means you'll be genuine contenders in 3-4 years time. In fact the draft system rewards you more for finishing lower  :P.

That's why I take issue with us promising finals next year. Sure if we have another good run with injuries with all our senior players player 18+ games then there's no excuse for anyone at Punt Rd next year. But what happens if Simmo goes down? So the footy dept. goes hey we need a cheap ready-made back-up ruckman and a kid like Thompson isn't considered. This is what we did with the rookie list this year and suddenly our rookie evelations have dried up. No more Foleys, Thurstys or Moores coming through  :-\.
