Mid season draft 2024

[TheOptimum18]

When do we get big sexy back from injury?

A couple weeks ago said he was poised for the Adelaide game next week, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's ready after our bye.

When do we get big sexy back from injury?

Injury update said 2 to 3 weeks but i'd say a month at least.

 

[tiger_tough]

So Howes is a dud after all that...

 

[Morro]

Welfare check on Morro

No Archie May for you....

I am suprised but I can also understand why.

I did pick Blight for our first pick a week ago though. Cant win em all

Well Jack Ross was 4-6 weeks 6 weeks ago and he is still 4-6 weeks

Too much sunscreen on Dimma pecs if you ask me for any rational thought

 

[Tigerbob]

What don't you like about Blight?

Kicking, decisioning under pressure and ground balls.

There’s a few concerns but I haven’t seen a lot live of him this season and have been told he’s improved again.

 

[Danog]

Not a huge fan of Blight but hope he proves me wrong. Grey has upside but again, didn’t think he was better than others not picked up.

Two things I’ll say. One is we got a KPD and KPF so that’s a win. To pass on the third selection was mindblowing. Ruck was a must.

Two, Toce is credited for finding Callum Wilkie at the Saints, so knows about Key position players, so if I’m happy to bow to a better judge of KP talent.

It's a bit harsh, but maybe we're holding them to a super high standard (delistable if they don't show promise immediately), and a ruck goes against the grain for that? I'm sure we'll pick up a ruck at the end of the year, but we need the list spots to do so. Doesn't seem fair to pick a 19 year old ruck and expect immediate output.

 

[shaky]

Haha umpirewood had umps at tgere training today umpiring CFL

I would guess they all get a turn down there getting gobbled by the players so they can return the favour on game day

 

[tiger_tough]

No RCD either.

 

[DickieKnee]

Yer can see big sexy out for the year.

 

[tigs2010]

I did flag his movement is like a gumboot

 

[Bojangles17]

My worst fears were drafting teakle , thankfully norf continued with their MSD tradition of lucky dip

I reckon we wanted him at that second pick. Thanks Norf.

 

[Barnard]

Hmm maybe , gibcus is out too tho , it’s a good move as it allows flexibility how to use Balta , broad and grimes both nearly gone , bight has performed very well takes a stack of marks , good move

The kid himself had told all his mates Richmond were the club most keen on him this time last week. Every chance we always wanted blight with our first pick and hoped Hutchinson slipped but I was told this morning west coast had told him to pack his bags, which I did post here earlier. Family member of mine played with him at wonthaggi last year. Personally I’m also pleased with Blight. Not so sure on the second pick but who knows.

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

Thought SOS was a knob

Sounds pretty astute.

 

[guruisatiger]

So many flogs in here wanted Howes
Lol

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Seen his highlights and he looks like he was made for the backline.

Our WA scout has been spot on most of the time.
In he we trust.

 

[Triggering Tiger]

No RCD either.

Even the blooz rejected him and all the talk was they were going to take him beforehand.

 

[Ancient Tiger]

Was at a club function last night. Spoke to some club employees and the president. Comment was we needed to take into account that we needed list space for those who are injured to come back next year and that many of the better players in this draft had nominated 18 month contracts. We are looking at getting multiple first round picks in the ND and thus didn’t want to take too many tonight as that would reduce our capacity at the end of the year.

Makes sense.

 

[YeOldTiger]

Where is our KPF !!!!

Remy / Howe / Elliot / Franklin
anybody

Nobody took any of them.

 

[YeOldTiger]

Now to wait and see who steals Sam Davidson. I'm looking squarely at the Dogs

Nobody took Davidson. Calm down.

 

[Triggering Tiger]

Nobody took Davidson. Calm down.

Why didn't we take May or Garner with our 3rd pick seems stupid to me?

 

[YeOldTiger]

Why melt over the MSD? Most of these players will be honest battlers at best anyway..

Some people dont have much in their lives.

This is their outlet.
