classy, skilled, small, FAST draft prospects

Re: classy, skilled, small, FAST draft prospects?.

Johansen 32 touches, 2 goals.

Seems like the kid can play. Will recruiters be put off by his height?

Pickett is a real talent. Looks great in yellow and black too!

He's perfect for us. Great speed, skills, goal sense and wins his own ball.
 
Thanks for the updates.

Appreciate it. Hope the Tigers look at either or both of these players at this years draft.

Thanks Stylo , Smoking aces and Mr magic.

There is a classy forward/mid at Oakleigh who may be good for our 2nd pick/ De Goey. good hands.

Is making a name for himself. Showing class and ability for magic at the champs. Is just so clean. Deceptively tall.

Has moved into contention for the first 15 picks.

I'd suggest he is been in the top 20 from the start of the season

Maybe right, I hadn't heard of him. Was he listed in the prospectus?

Huge wraps on the weekend. Shifter Sheehan called him "Pater Matera or Michael Long like." The highlights were amazing. He's firming as my ideal pick.

And Gus, Conor Blakely is another that I'm warming too. 26 disposals, nine clearances and seven inside 50s on the weekend. His WAFL form in the seniors is pretty solid. 18 touches a week. Reckon he is on the board come our second pick?

I'd walk away happy with those two at our first two picks at this stage.

agree, the highlights on the site your not even allowed to think about, are tantalising. Blistering speed, evasion, both sides, goals.

The Matera/Long stuff worries me though. Last time we heard such wraps on a young indigenous player, it didnt end well.

But yeah, JP 4 ME too scoop.

Let's get this out of the way now. it was coming.

JON didn't star at the champs. Showed limited glimpses but didn't dominate.

Tambling played Division 2 at the Champs.

Jarrod Pickett is dominating Divi 1 and putting up huge numbers. If his name was Jarrod Plunkett from Ringwood and was exactly the same skill set with but white with red hair and freckles, there would be no nervousness.

Get rid of it. There is nothing here like that.
 
I've been a fan of Pickett since last year and would be very happy to see him at Punt Road next year.

Have you had a look at Shannon Taylor, Scoop? Remember him from (I think) 2011 draft year? Going pretty well at Frankston.

Just for golly:

Woo Pickett. Strolling through huge packs straight lining at the goals. Complete awareness. Exactly the type we have not had since gawd knows when.

Yep, has done everything you want at VFL level. Has tricks. We don't. Rookie pick for sure.

I like the sound of this Plunkett lad, let's get him!
 
The way Pickett cuts through opposition lines in those highlights makes me feel funny. In a good way
 
Wigg from SA looks like a classy hbf that we could do with. Shifter reckons he's a bit like Suckling, deadly Left foot, surely we couldn't overlook talent like him.

Tigers have had their eye on De Goey for most this year + No chance at Goddard being taken, FJ reckons he's too slow

done . :hihi

Long way out, but he looks Top 6 to me. What do you blokes reckon. Top 6 we can do. I knew there'd be a silver lining in the 2014 cloud. Ive been waiting for this kid since 1984.
