For starters Riggio is an on-baller, but its a tad difficult for a player of 2 games experience to break into the midfield. Riggio is 188cm's and an alot bigger unit than Shaun Grigg, as they are basically the same age. He will develop into a large bodied midfielder.

Grigg showed in juniors, that although he gets alot of the ball, he butchers it far too often, where as Riggio is one if, if not the best kick at the club.

I have no doubt Riggio would have starred last year if he wasnt taken underage, where Grigg was overlooked.


The VFL midfield for AFL listed players should be a walk in the park, I still remember Riggio ironing out 2 Geelong players in the preliminary final for the Roosters last year in the space of a minute, even though he'd only just turned 18.

You desperately need to get down to a Bullants game and check out your definition of butchering :p . I was under the belief that Riggio played most of his junior footy down back too, I could be wrong.
 
As the Tigers are seemingly desperate for a ruckman or 3 who are the ones that Tigers fans should keep an eye on? Given they are likely to be picking in the top 8 are any of the potential ruckmen in this draft worthy of such a high pick? Or would the Tigers be better of taking say another KP or midfielder(don't think we need anymore but Wallace might) and get a ruckmen 2nd/3rd round?

Matt Kreuzer is the man to watch in the 07 draft. He's a ruckman from Northern Knights who's played Vic Metro about 5 times, made All Aust about 3, and graduated from the ais/afl academy last year. He will probably go in the top 3, maybe even number 1. I wouldn't put it past the Tigers getting him though as I see them finishing 2nd last only to the Kangas.

If we finish last i see us getting a midfielder or an all in one player. Cotchin and Mcevoy are my picks.

Wouldn't think the Roos would be looking to off load him, but I wouldn't say no either.
 
Tommy May said he will be back in 3-4 weeks, he said he will come in with a bang

Jarrod Grant is at Dandenong Stingrays, vic metro and will not be anywhere near being drafted. Unless there are 2 Jarrod Grants, this one got an AIS scholarship in 05 but has gone right downhill since and can hardly get on park

Interesting blues. I have watched both of Jarrod's games this year and he has gone ok, and ticks a few boxes for mine. I also wonder how he would go in a better side, with more opportunities and better delivery. Seems to have a nice leap and good pair of hands. I don't think he could end up being a dominant KPP at AFL level but could turn into a handy third tall forward/flanker a-la Brad Fisher and might be well worth a later pick?

yeah i agree he has gone better than i thought and makes the most of his opportunities but looked as though he had an attitude problem. He will be playing school footy after next week but not sure how strong his school is.
But good luck to him, he does have a bit of class about him but tends to crack it when things don't go his way

Ben McEvoy from Murray is a moral to go top ten, saw him at Maryborough and his athletisism would have left scouts salivating.

Matthew Deledio also has shown promise, anyone got the oil on his Draft prospects?

Can anyone tell me more about Ebert from SA? What are his attributes where abouts will he go in the draft?
Click to expand...
that would be Brad Ebert.

Inside midfielder with a booming kick, can also player taller than he actually is. I havent seen a lot of the interstate blokes but i imagine he would go in the top 10-15, works hard, is a team player, his skills are good, strong hands, good height too(not sure on exact height). Saw him paly 3 times early in trials and was easily the best player out there

Is he F/S?
 
blues2010 said:
no he's a nephew of Russell and cousin of Brett.
Fantatstic player. I think any talk of number 1 should happen after 18's carnival because there is a lot of talent that is not even talked about that clubs may want after carnival
Click to expand...
doubt he would go as high as 1, i would think between 6-15
 
Anyone have any word on potential F/S from the Falcons (Donohue) was named BOG round 1 and in the best Rd 2.
What's his likely value? Strength/Weaknesses?
 
blues2010 said:
spot on roodog i think he will go somewhere in that range but i still want to see others out there in nationals

exactly, i know the sa kids well and the kids i saw play last year... but there are always a few that pop up during the year too... i think this 18s format will help with that as well
