Final Days Rumors.....

[Chase the Ace]

I wasnt talking about current players.

I think you should be quiet now

 

[eyeofthetiger]

swift to richmond is a done deal.

 

[Dave The Man]

swift to richmond is a done deal.

So I guess you work in Richmond's Recruiting Department

 

[RooDog]

Tyler Brimmacombe to Hawthorn with their 2nd round pick.


this comes from someone close to the Hawks, they have had their eye on him all year, they rate him highly and think that he really players "their" brand of footy. They dont seem to think that he will survive to their 3rd round pick. I guess we will have to wait and see how it unfolds though.

Alex Dimitriadis to kangas is a certainty.

 

[sinepari]

swift to richmond is a done deal.

a "deal"?

It's a draft, not trade week. How the **** can it be a 'deal'?

 

[Godfrey Jones]

its a phrase... jeez

 

[ant22]

I wasnt talking about current players.

so what are you saying, you know most of the blokes in the top 10 and they are telling you who is going to pick them up? More BF BS

For once Dave I agree with you. Done deal, the only done deal could be Melbourns number 1 choice. Geez people write some crap.

Believe what you want mate. When have I said anythings a done deal? All I'm saying is how the draft MAY pan out according to what people have told me. Is that such a sin?

 

[Effes]

Don't Richmond normally have a night leading up to the draft where supporters are briefed on likely prospects etc...when is it on? Have people leaked info from it in the past?

Yes and yes. Its tomorrow night, and we'll be given a rundown as to who we would like to pick and who other clubs might be looking at.

Going to have extra cheese on my pizza tonight....DONE DEAL!

No, marketability is definitely more based on charisma, good looks along with some playing ability. Look at the marketability of Andre Agassi over Pete Sampras, even Pat Rafter over Pete. Did Lendl have marketability. Not really. Buddy has that x factor, that wow factor that people love. Marketability needs more than just an excellent player, especially to bring the crowds in.

Who is St Kilda's most marketable player, Riewoldt or James Gwilt.

Just because someone is black, runs fast and has a strange haircut doesnt mean that they are marketing sensations.

swift to richmond a done deal? thats gotta b the funniest thing ive ever hearda ll week. im pretty sure you will take a tall KP project player like trengove/mckernan before you get a midfielder. and swift? i would bet my left gonad that terry wallace and richmond would not take the so called risk on swift when players like ziebell, hartlett are available.
guess we will have to wait and see.

 

[The Grover]

Yes and yes. Its tomorrow night, and we'll be given a rundown as to who we would like to pick and who other clubs might be looking at.

Make sure you share it with us.

Its kind of right.

If Hartlett and Vickery are gone, I'd expect us to take Swift. Trengove and McKernan are not considered for the Tigers.

 

[JDC!]

Certainty hey? more bigfooty crap. He may well end there but please dont use certainty. No one is a certainty. Not sure if you have worked this out yet but there are 41 numbers before 42 which means no one is a certainty at pick 42

No one will pick Motlop before pick 42. Some say he is even lucky to be getting drafted at all (if he does get drafted, of course). Look, all I'm saying is that this person, who as I said is very close to Steven, has said that he will definately be going to Port at pick 42. They have already paid for Steven to get operations on his shoulders.

 

[UpTheGuts]

Sha-weet..... precisely what I wanted to hear.

Many thanks and no need to publish details of Monday night - that's not the deal...

 

[Blue Dawn]

Reading this thread one thing's for certain - there's going to be some red faces after this draft.

 

[rizzo]

Lock Nathan O'Keefe to either the cats or swans

 

[RUNVS]

Lock Nathan O'Keefe to either the cats or swans

Thats just what thwe Swans need. A 3rd O'Keefe

 

[Burzum]

I don't know how reliable this is but Essendon have apparently said they'll take Hartlett if Port pass on him.

 

[Top_4_Tiger]

The Richmond pre-draft night will give supporters a fairly good indication of which players we like, but they are careful to leave supporters feeling only pretty sure we will take someone without saying it as a fact.

All information contained in the Richmond pre-draft night is usually stuff that is known in club circles anyway, so leaked information doesn't hurt the club.

They have a survey at the end of the night to ask who they think we will pick up based on the information presented... they do this so they can tell how revealing they were that year.


Also 'The Cotch' is a poster who I respect and trust the opinion of, no need to be so critical of his thoughts on how the draft may pan out.

 

[Pafloyul]

Its kind of right.

Just like Franklin was "not considered", hey?
