Read somewhere that he is a local Richmond lad. Can anyone confirm this? If so no go home factor is a plus.
What if he wants to play for Richmond Centrals
I work in Africa and they were taking the pee out of me for saving Africa.......

Not necessarily  - Oliver played with us when we were no chance of getting him ....Harley Reid played for Scumbaggers VFL last year and there was no chance he was going anywhere but West Coast or Norf who both still contending for the wooden spoon)... :shh

We can always invite whoever we want down but with number 1 pick or number 2 pick it has far more meaning, and allows us to see the possible drafted players more closely. We were never going to pick up Oliver and Reid was always going Pick 1 or 2. The fact we have invited / allowed Jagga to play is a great sign we are looking at him and going to get a better look by having him in our VFL side.
Go Tigers!

We need to make sure that whoever we draft, with whatever pick, isn’t afraid of physicality and contact.
Having Samson and Dow in the side yesterday, 2 guys who are scared to crack in, just highlights some really poor recruiting. We need guys who want to embrace the contact and crack in and tackle.
I’d be comfortable to put a line through these 2.

Tom Brown as well hasn’t shown much physicality, he’s a big boy. Hopefully another pre season will do him some good and he can have a big year next year, but at this stage Brown hasn’t done anything for about 3 months

Could be wrong but pretty sure the AFL designates players to clubs, we don't invite them ourselves... :shh

I just like the name Jagga. Having 30 in your first VFL game is pretty impressive too.

That's more of a reason to draft him than anyone else we've recruited recently
