2019 Draft

[Oprah From Tigerland]

All the best to our new Tigers.

Also I feel like I’ve started a new job and I’m looking at the company phone list. Who are all these people?

We shouldn't see taking the full five minutes as us being not sure who to pick.

They weren't doing much debating during that time were they? I think we were waiting the full five minutes in case a call came in with a trade deal we liked. Nothing to be gained by picking straight away.

Stack is a defender at best, why waste Stack in the guts and get him injured??

As opposed to in defence with feds kneeing him in the back? Ridiculous theory.

I don’t like our strategy of just bidding on anyone’s academy if that’s what they were doing.
It’s odd because I haven’t thought this in years, but it doesn’t feel like we have done enough homework heading to this draft. Since about 2014-2015 to last year, it really felt like we were well researched and prepared but I don’t get that vibe this year.

I say this not because the group of players that we picked up. Rather, it is more to do with the apparent lack of targeted pickups. Some teams like Carlton, Geelong, Gold Coast and Collingwood had that vibe about them this year and we did too in the last couple of years but not this year.

I don’t know, we’ll have to wait and see how our group go before making any judgement, but how they reached their selections this draft doesn’t fill me with confidence like it did in the last few years. I mean, we have three unmatched academy picks on our list. Does it say that we got a bargain, or was there a reason why there was no bid on them? I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Anything positive from this year?

Pulling on the yellow and black adds length

I think people have to look at things differently than what I’m reading.

1) Why did we take so long to make our selections, shows we are disorganised.

No it shows we are analytical about every pick and want EVERY pick to work out. We go through our system and strategy and make sure we have Richmond men coming into the club.

2) Why do we bid on others academies not enough homework being done.

It shows we analyse every single eligable kid even if they are tied to another club. We only select a certain type of player so our list of who we want is shorter than a lot of other clubs, we do so much work with all regions and put so much work in, it is good that we have been rewarded this year. Three other academy boys who we feel are Richmond men.

From the highlights, I am excited about Cumberland, Ralphsmith and Nyuon. Their highlights reel has standout moments.

Didn’t get the same vibe from the highlights reel of Dow and Martin, but early days. Sometimes the ones you least expect brilliance from ooze it.

 

[Mr Magic]

These kids wont get a game in front of graham, ross and stack , great position to be in when we can develop them in the vfl .

Crazy when Stack is a rookie

 

[Drofder]

We must have inside moles at the academies.

Bit worried about 3 non matches tbh.

The Martin one did not grab me in particular, Geelong says should have went Taheny and the Lions did not match and picked a WA player at 59

Shows right or wrong we rate differently to others because remember they get a discount for academies apart from later picks

List breakdown after the National Draft



We will have 2 rookie spots open if DES has been retained as a Cat B rookie.

 

[living_in_syd]

Not sure about taking project players in the ND, they get 2 years minimum..

St Kilda hadn't had their first pick at that stage.

Nyoun would have slipped to the rookie draft surely?
Did we reach for him?

Ralphsmith runs the wrong way in the first 10 seconds of his "highlights" farken lawl

he has a big stride which means he prefers the space
