Picks 52 + 70

Not sure that lad O'Sullivan is going to get picked up - 179kg, but only 75cm tall.
:rofl
Wow
his nickname must be cannonball
Wow
Is he strong overhead, which would be squirrel grip territory even for short back pockets
Wow
His little legs must be a blurr as he covers the ground
Wow
 
Dan Howe would be a good get at one of these selections in my opinion.
Can play anywhere on the ground and is a good user of the ball. Apologies for the image size...I don't know why that happened.

Howe is a nice type, reckon he goes earlier than 52 but after 33.

Not sure, Could still be available with our #70 and maybe even in the Rookie Draft

Bit of an in betweener at 191 and being an overager - Dont really know how he would fit in the Tigers lineup with
Batchelor,Dea,McIntosh and Even grimes all playing similar roles as a medium tall HB

Not Sure if he has Midfield ability and from memory there were questions about pace also
 
Tom Templeton is another I really like for our later picks. Fast and aggressive over the ball but came to footy late last year with an athletics background.
 
Port very interested in Jaden McGrath, given we have pick 52 we can trump them. To me he's the best speedy option outside of the top 30, he has to be considered with this pick.

I like Jayden Short for these reason plus he is a freak of a kick. Lot to work with.

Nope, well and truly gone IMO.

Looks to be decent type, haven't seen much apart from the highlights so difficult to know if he'll be drafted.

At 52 McGrath is my favourite, given he's been off the radar I think there's a great chance to be available.
 
Apparently we've shown a lot of interest in Panos. Some might remember him when he was on the Dogs list as a key forward. He was short for a KPF at 192cm and was purely a lead up forward. He was delisted a short time later and he went back to SA.

Since then he has become a massive midfielder with great contested ball wining skills and a booming kick for Norwood. The knock is that he is slow which will delight some on here I'm sure.

He scored 14.1 in the beep, 8.06 in the agility and 2.98 in the 20m FWIW
 
Could certainly do worse than giving Panos a crack at pick 70 if still available.

Weller + Gore + McGrath + Panos
 
I think if he gets a second chance it'll be at the rookie draft.
 
Cal Twomey reckons Gore is a 45+ selection, and that we've shown interest. Gore at 52 would be awesome.
 
Nice story on a one-eyed SA junior who is a chance to get picked up late in the draft or as a rookie.

Without wanting to be offensive to one eyed people, playing AFL would be a tough gig with limited peripheral vision. I wish Ramsey the best but I wouldn't be calling out his name on draft day.
 
There' was a bloke up here in the O & M who one a couple of league b & fs in the area with only one eye, tough bastard too

Ramsey has done amazingly well so far, he was stiff not to get AA honours in the u/18's, however the lift in intensity will surely test his abilities.
