Ash. Everything we need. Tough, quick,great skills, can tackle, a leader, can play mid,fwd or back and can hit the scoreboard.

Would Dees not be interested also?

Would Dees not be interested also?

I guess it all hinges on the GC PP, if they don't get it, I can't imagine the Dee's not drafting Anderson.

Assuming worst case - Young? Take a chance on Kemp with his bung knee? Might be academic anyway if the Luko deal is a goer.

They definately would be interested in ash as well as they need outside speed as well but if they have pick 2 they are taking anderson or rowell. It gets down to the priority pick like dewy said.

Young would be a great fit as well. An elite kick who would be our best kick as soon as he walks into our club. I see a bit of pendlebury about him. My only criticism of him would be his workrate. At times he drifts out of games like today.

 

[Draft Bored]

Does anyone know if the AFL are planning to introduce the option of immediately after a player is picked, other clubs having the option to bid or trade on that specific player? If yes, is there a time frame on when this will be introduced?

Yes, Cal Twomey the draft spokesperson for the VFL has said he expects this at some point. Players only to be traded once.

Could you imagine it - Welcome to Richmond young fella ...oh wait, you're off to the Adelaide SANFL side now for the next 2 years

TBH the whole process and with the more complex additions being tabled for the ND brings back images of the old slave markets on Zanzibar

Is that Serong? He is a beauty. Reminds me of Toby Greene - really good overhead for his height.

Think Ash is our man though. Replaces Smith on the HBF to start with and eventually moves into the mids.

 

[TexForPM]

I got a feeling we will have a massive crack at Luko and Grundy and grab some kids

Freeing up salary and getting some picks together with how we will hit the trade table

More confident in Luko than Grundy

how do we get both?

yea it was serong at pick 4 after we bid once again for a GWS academy player

Serong? I haven't seen much of him but a lot of the draft experts have him very high up. A lot of Robbie Gray traits, and say what you want about him, Robbie is a very, very good player.

But I agree, I don't think we'll go that way after Jones and McHenry last year. Ash or Young sound more like a need, if they can go into the Midfield, we don't need another HBFer who'll "eventually be a mid", but never gets there.

Not sure who's ever said otherwise about Robbie gray, but yea doubt we would go another small flanker type

Corrected for you.

First phantom draft ive seen for 2019 has us linked with another midget with out first pick

Don't think you'd say that if you stood next to Caleb at a quarter/3 quarter break [I have]....He's seriously powefull-built and as someone mentioned he's very much a Toby Greene in game style, much harder at the contest than Robbie Gray IMO, quick, agile, tough and works just as hard without the ball as when in possession....he's highly rated for a reason. Warragull/Gippsland Power lad so not a city slicker. Ranked 2nd only to Matt Rowell by Champion Data at this year's Championships and Vic Country's M.V.P at the Championships. Around 10kg's heavier than Matt Rowell who is the same height. Did I also mention he plays "tall", seriously strong overhead.

 

[FAITH]

I'd be so dissapointed if carlton took kemp at 8

We'll have an advantage if we ever have to play at a stadium with a low roof

 

[Mutineer]

Read this article from Caleb's local rag and tell me you'd be disappointed if we settled on him.....and I'd say he'd be one of 2 or 3 players we'd have serious interest in given his undoubted character and leadership qualities he possesses, very switched on young man that you can be sure will strive to get the best out of himself. If Anderson is gone and with Brodie Kemp's unfortunate ACL injury it would be between Caleb Serong and Lachie Ash for me with Pick 3.

Serong’s star soars

The last thing Caleb Serong ever wants to hear is “keep doing what you’re doing”. He’s continually on the hunt [...]

[FAITH]

Don't write off Luke Jackson or Dylan Stephens out our pick if we keep it.

Heard whispers from my local club the crows are right into him.

Not against that, where does he go in the draft and surely we would try and trade down?
Pick 1 GC Rowell
Pick 2 GC Anderson
Pick 3. Melbourne Ash/Young/Kemp
Pick 4. GWS Ash/Young/Kemp
Pick 5. GWS Green bid matched/
Pick 6 Sydney Ash Young Kemp
Pick 7 Adelaide Serong

We would be pick 4 unless we or Melbourne bid for Green (If GC get a priority pick after their first).
