Possible Late Picks

Low bullets. Jack would be on an eternal hard on at the thought of this bloke spotting up his lead inside 50.

Nice player, a little bit different to Impey & Kennedy-Harris but if he falls into our laps at 50 it would be a coup.

Banfield delisted by Brisbane but promised a rookie spot.

Wouldnt mind getting in his ear to nominate for the draft and get him with pick 68.

Solidly built half forward flanker and the type we need.

Could go this option depending if we end up with Lennon at 12.

agree. Had a great season a couple ago, 2011?, fallen away last year. strong and very elusive, makes things happen. Surprised by his delisting. Gunsmoke says he's a terrible kick so I'll take that on board. But I liked him, real goer and hard to stop when he was in form
 
Wouldn't go anywhere near Banfield.

Yes he looks good with the ball, he is elusive and sets himself up for shots on goal or inside 50s.

BUT, his disposal is shocking. He would be the worst kick on our list by a long way. We have gradually churned through all of the bad kicks on our list, we don't need to top back up.

I have enjoyed much banter with my Lions mate who I go and watch Lions matches with about Banfield....as soon as he gets the ball, I say "watch him stuff this up" and, sure enough 75% of the time I am right.
 
Banfield often uses his shin to kick the ball rather than his foot. I see this as a potential issue. ;D

My young bloke just started training at the Oakleigh Chargers in their junior development squad so had a bit of an opportunity to talk to a few of the coaches there during the week. ATM Oakleigh are actually producing more AFL draftees than any other club in Australia apparently. Excellent operation.

Kennedy-Harris and Maginnes are definetly worth a look with our 3rd rounder if still available.

Well done the young bloke evo - future Tiger :)

fair enough. I suppose he stood out in a poor side as someone who could actually create something.

What's your lad's name so we can keep an eye out for him?

I reckon Kennedy-Harris will go in the second round, shame really because I really rate him, his tackling pressure is elite. I think he chalked up 14 tackles in a match this season.
 
Jimmy The Greek will be a welcome addition to Richmond next year. A Daniel Jackson replacement in a couple years time.

If he lands at 50 I'll be surprised but stoked at the same time. Still keen on Riley Knight if Tsitas goes early, and there's that small forward we so desperately need. Word is that only 60 picks will go live so we might just be able to squeeze in a talented slider.

Does that passes and rookie elevations after 60?

Rookie elevations may occur before pick 66, therefore we'll climb up the order. I don't have any details but a team like Brissie should be out before our second pick.

I reckon this boy is an upgrade on White and can play.

Rightio, ta and thanks for deciphering my poorly worded post!
 
I think he was in the draft last year too but never got picked up. I don't know anything about him though.
