Welcome to the Tigers Taj Hotton

Pretty sure Joel’s wasn’t an ACL - apologies if I am wrong
Selwood, playing for the Bendigo Pioneers in the TAC Cup, was struck down by a knee injury after six rounds, which resulted in his fourth surgery in two years and put considerable doubt into the minds of many clubs.

Like I said - you don’t need 4 surgeries in 2 years with an ACL. Apologies if I am wrong…!

Surely if a draftee is currently injured with an ACL and still coming back, why even go in the draft this year. Must be better to heal up and prove yourself for next years draft or is age a problem in the drafting rules? I don't know but then again, he must be a real prospect anyway to go so high in the draft
That’s a very common sense approach. But I think that this is my favourite pick. The reward factor could be huge.

this kids a freak, if his body holds up, watch out

Could be 1 of the best in the draft if his knee is good. High risk, high reward. IMO definitely a better player than Allan, even on the Fox Footy coverage his kicking was ranked below average which was the knock on him, can't have someone who mainly plays as a hbf to have below average kicking ability, "could" play mid, but reckon I'm happier to pick the kid with the better ability even if he has some injury cloud over him

He and trainer will end up 2 wasted picks in a super draft hate to be negative. But for me we wasted 2 quality picks

Yeah - you’d pick Richo even after a knee reco wouldn’t you. Too talented to ignore.

Very fast, great hands and can kick a goal. Has the X factor quality. Bit of Shane Edwards about him
