National Draft 23 - after this year we all need therapy

[TheOptimum18]

wereve backed hooper in over stevens. I would love stevens. hooper owes us big time.

huh?

 

[chriso11]

Not good at kicking it between the sticks apparently, bit of a worry.

Can he do a no-look snap but, like George

 

[tigers12]

mcauliffe can roost a footy i like it

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Lol and we do! another 3rd rounder. Love it!

We'll give it back as part of the Reid trade.

 

[tugga]

Surprised we didn’t take schoemaker with 43

 

[_RT_]

If Stevens is there at 55, I'd like to see us take him.

 

[THE_GUN]

ZZ top & Schoenmaker still available


But we will probably be looking to see if any body comes to trade out our next pick

 

[cairo tiger]

huh?

huh? I rated stevens but we have backed in what we have already. Stevens is an inside bull. we went with the sa boy. and that leaves us what we got which is a slowish midfield and hooper is one of them. Dont rate hooper, that trade killed us. you comprehendo my angle now.

Welcome to Tigerland, Liam Fawcett

Richmond has used its second selection (No. 43 overall) in the 2023 AFL Draft to recruit Central District key forward Liam Fawcett.

www.richmondfc.com.au

What the Richmond recruiters say about Fawcett...

"Liam is the product of the Central District Football Club in South Australia and played his junior football with Golden Grove Junior Football Club and Pooraka Football Club.

"He's a 197cm key forward who had a consistent season for Central District, avergaing 15 possessions, seven marks (two contested), two goals and a score assist per game.

"Relatively new to the talent pathway, Liam did a fantastic job to represent South Australia in the U18 National Championships, where he showed versatility to play at both ends of the ground.

"Liam is a hard-worker with terrific aerobic capacity and we believe he has a lot of growth in his game once he gets into a full-time training environment.

"On behalf of the Richmond Football Club, we would like to welcome Liam and his family to Tigerland."

looks like a bit of a high upside project player, Lynch will be huge for him

We've got a lot of picks next year now with two seconds and three thirds.

You've just got two beauties!!

We've got a lot of picks next year now with two seconds and three thirds.

As it stands 6, 25, 26, 39, 43 & 44 are our picks in the first 3 round, based on 2023 ladder positions.

 

[Lsta062]

If Stevens is there at 55, I'd like to see us take him.

Aren't we only taking two picks this draft?

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Gaining draft capital for next year, wise if it’s a better draft and gives us trade options for next year. A first, two seconds and three thirds now

Not to mention 2 1sts for Dusty.

 

[Michaels]

You've just got two beauties!!

What are your thoughts on them mate?

I like the 15 touch and 7 mark averages. Tells me he’s not a stay at home forward and gets up the ground. Long shot you’d say. But Mitch Lewis and Larkey were both taken later than this so you never know. Good to have a young developing key forward on the list anyway

 

[beema limapep]

Paddy Grogan still available

 

[tugga]

You've just got two beauties!!

You rate them?
good to hear.

 

[Pattiger]

Cant believe he was still available at our pick

We rated him the 2nd best KPF in the draft

Pigs Arse ! The Draft Vids for both selections are very ordinary - Luke Lloyd has far greater potential than both combined !

 

[Ctl]

As it stands 6, 25, 26, 39, 43 & 44 are our picks in the first 3 round, based on 2023 ladder positions.

just 26, 39, 43, 44 equal 1915 points, equivalent of pick 5. Add in pick 25 and its the equivalent of pick 2. We are primed to take advantage of academy/father son selections next year

 

[THE_GUN]

Any team that has F/S or Academy prospects that may finish bottom 4 ?

 

[tugga]

Aren't we only taking two picks this draft?

I think we are open to 3 picks if it warrants

Yet Stevens is as much of a slow midfielder as Hopper (maybe even slower, going by comments made by people who have watched him), while the SA kid is rated as someone with elite speed (as well as elite strength and contest work, so it's not like we went with a skinny outside mid or anything).

And you would rate a player who is yet to be drafted 47 49 picks into a draft as someone who would be better than a player rated within the top 15 10 of his respective draft?

BTW, McAuliffe averages more clearances and tackles than Stevens at their junior level, so not sure why you're describing one as an inside bull but not the other.

So no, I don't get your angle.
