We have four picks, you have permission to add one more to your wish list.
 
1. Jesse Lonergan. All the traits of Vlastuin plus the combine results that give you confidence he will take the next step. Has played against men since he was 15, and was a key contributor to Launcestons GF victory. I have not seen him live but his highlight clip(he's an inside mid that kicks goals)GF performance, and moreso his elite combine results. Definately worth a look on the AFL web site..goal kicking, agility, speed, repeat sprints, vertcal leap, all ellite at 90Kgs after a PCL injury earlier this year. Quigley has him ranked 8 and most experts think his has been underrated. I am not concerned about Div 2 TAC he is captain of Tassie and has proven his athletic and skills ability at the combine.

2. Pick 32 plus, hoping Garlett and Membrey slip due to bad press and a very bad tatt.
 
...the player considered best suited to us by our team, rather than the player considered best at that point by the phantom drafting hive mind.

I think the last two drafts should provide us confidence that that will happen.

Opinions are what make the draft such fun, and still worth hoping that your own uninformed wants are one and he same with the clubs.
 
....O'Rourke at pick 9
Garner at pick 32
Lonergan at pick 34
and Wright at pick 43

Yours sincerely

After I chuck a bucket of chips at FJ for not picking Grundy, I will go,and hug him if he could pull off that 4!!!! This is the thread to dream.

Dear Draft Santa,

For draft day, I want a monster ruckman who goes forward and kicks goals and has a penchant for the existential, a royce hart-like CHF who plays tall and seeks the contested possession like an animal, a tasmanian man-child and a 195/95 KPF who looks for all intensive purposes like Buddy Frankiin :eek:

Ive been good

love TGW
 
At the end of the day I just want a gun player who will end up in our best 22 and play at least 250 games - is that too much to ask for?
 
Skillful hard nuts who win their own ball, kick with both feet, have good stamina, dont panic and dont need 3 years to fill out!
 
Menzel/Grundy/Stringer/Vlastuin

Graham/Lonergan/Atkins/Wright

Atkins/Pongracic/McDonough/Carter

Temay/McDonough/Lowrie/Sumner


If Garlett or Membrey slide to any of our 2nd rounders I would like for us to take a punt.

Richmond supporters to have confidence in our recruiting staff ;)

We could go for Ben Kennedy, could be a gun inside, tough mid and a small forward. But I suppose that isn't really a 'true small forward'. This is my wishlist

Pick 9-Macrae/Grundy/Vlaustin/Menzel/O'Rourke/Plowman

Pick 32-Wright/Garner/Membrey/Colquhoun/Atkins/Haynes

Pick 34-Haynes/White/Carter/McBean

I'd be happy with any of them but my dream draft would be

Pick 9-Macrae

Pick 32-Garner

Pick 34-White or Haynes
 
My wish list.

9 Stringer or Jaksch

32 Thurlow or (Beanstalk Ali) Mcbean (if Stringer at 9) or Saunders, Banfield, Matt *smile*, Ashby, Atkins or Mcgennis (if Jaksch).

34 Any left over of above

43 any left over of above.

But what would I know? Roll on Nov 22.
 
If i had one preferred list

9 Stringer
32 Thurlow
34 Saunders
43 Banfield
