I think we should grab Cody Weightman, just because the name on the teamsheet will bring back so many great memories every week I see it.

Adding a fit and firing Bennell would make us just about unbeatable. From all reports he's straightened up off field. Last I read he had some dead tissue removed from his calves and it was expected to make a big difference.

You know what the f in hbf'er stands for right?


He played both midfield & HBF.
He carried an ankle injury into the season which meant he played HBF for Vic Metro as captain.
It was only at the Knights that he played more midfield

Wines and Viney played in the centre and they have no other position.

Like the Adelaide players, there is a good chance he is 100% leaving emotionally. Once you get there, there is no coming back. The Mcarthy one was interesting.. where everyone played hardball and he ended up unable to play AFL for a year.

We know Martin is not emotionally invested. He was happy to cruise around in the NEAFL for most of this season. Gold Coast, and Melbourne, don't want that. He has all the cards basically. It sucks for clubs, but the PA has for years pushed hard for players' freedom for movement. He will walk to Carlton I think unless the Sun's want to risk being seen as "the bad guy".

Personally I think it's gone too far. Clubs need more power to trade players. On the other hand, as an employee, once a contract has finished, you surely have the right to sit interviews at various employers and try to get work at a place you like.

We all have to agree, if it was Richmond, we'd be all saying, "he wants to be a Tiger, let him come where he wants to play".

I 100% agree with you, however if it was Richmond I would have expected our club to have offered a reasonable trade for a player that they want to pay $600-700k per year. I think what Gold Coast wanted for him was pretty reasonable in such an even draft pool.
Granted I find it hilarious that we got Houli for free in the PSD, but we offered a 3rd round pick for a player that wasn't getting a regular game and we weren't throwing around big dollars to him. Essendon said the 3rd round pick would be one they wouldn't use, but then used picks later than the one we offered, so they lied.

Egg still has one year left as a CatB rookie. Likely we have to elevate him and Pickett at the end of next season.

Cheers, wasn't entirely sure how the category B rookie list worked, egg coming along nicely.

The player we picked at that pick was the player they wanted too just for the added lolz

He earned his reputation as a midfielder at Knights and was played off half back for Metro because he had the versatility other midfielders didn’t. Could you see Wines playing off half back for Metro? He was probably a better option than the other pure flankers at the time, which also reinforces my point.

Also, he was often referred to as a pure midfielder by some experts (Voss comparisons) while others referred to him as a midfielder/gen defender (Hodge comparisons).

At the end of the day, he wasn’t a pure flanker, which is the type I’d like us to stay clear of, particularly with our first pick. If you think we should use our first on someone who has not developed an inside game at under 18s, then fair enough. I would’ve thought there’s better value for flankers later on in the draft.

And finally, do we need another HBF? I wouldn’t have thought so. Houli, Stack, Short and Edwards all provided rebound throughout the season, while we have Naish and Egg-Smith developing. Menadue and Markov could also both do a job there. I think we’re good.

Who was the player?

 

[Absolut Tigers]

Club will pick whoever they think is the best available player. We have no obvious holes in our list. I thought we needed another ruckman, but what would I know (didn't expect Soldo - or the Soldering Iron as they called him during K-Rock call of GF - to become a genuine #1 ruckman)

 

[guruisatiger]

Bradley Hellboy Helbig

Wines is from Echuca. He played for Vic Country.

Hard going to back to back I rekon, just from a mental and hunger side of things for players . But If players have got the same drive again to win we will be extremely hard to beat .

Hopefully Rance, Stack, Graham, Ross etc. can drive the hunger and standards

Cotchin sounded hungry from about 5secs after he won the gf

Good call
Best available with first, there’ll be a number of sliders, every club has a different view on where players sit.

I think then we may look at kpd with our later pick and/or midfield depth

We definitely don’t need another ruckman. Soldo has come from the clouds this year and looks every bit an AFL ruckman

 

[CaptchaProofBot]

We have pick 20 don’t we

snicker/snort....is this a mini McBean ?

Pick 19: Two flags in three years means the Tigers aren't short in any areas. Again they'll wait and see what gets through to their spot at the end of the first round. South Australian half-back Will Day has plenty of admirers and clubs have liked his development this season. Day has plenty of growth to come physically, but he can set the play up off half-back, he can shut down opponents, and intercept in the air.

Around the mark: Miles Bergman, Trent Rivers, Sam De Koning

draft the best mids and the ones that fail move to flanks

draft best key forward and ones that dont work move key back

drafting hbfs is dangerous

I think this years draft is pretty thin on kpf/kpd but having said that all our current backline (kp) group apart from Rance were later picks.

Looks like Mason. Pass

 

[THE_GUN]

I wonder if there is any relationship between Pickett & Bennell as both were in WA and playing wafl , They are the same age and might be a connection

My mind just wonders a fit and firing Bennell in the richmond colours burning up the mcg and the melts of the afl community Richmond has done it AGAIN

Why do i feel so dirty for having these thoughts
