Game Day U18 National Championships - Allies v Vic Country Sunday July 7th 10.35am

100%

The kid plays and moves beautifully and has a great footy brain
if not a father son he would easily be #1 and today's game reminded me of a young Isaac Heeney

Richmond must bid unless we do some trade with the Lions

Let the games begin

 

[tigs2010]

Welsh been very good for a tubby campaigner. Gives every one hope.

 

[guruisatiger]

Going to get plenty of quality with picks into the 20s, 30s this draft.

Yes indeed

 

[guruisatiger]

Toby trevaglia is a dead
Ringer for Sam Davidson

 

[Charlie Pannam]

What a great game!!
Draper was as impressive as any mid today
Trevaglia looks a top 15 player.
Some very good talls in this game too.

We just need as many pics in the top 35-40 or so as we can get. The focus shouldn't be on pick 1 vs pick 2 vs pick 3 for us.

We have currently pick 2, 20, 31, 38, 39.

We need to get to about 5 more picks including a few in the first round.

If they wanted to go, Baker and Bolton would get us all 3 of Freos first rounders and probably second (10,13,16 & 23). Suns will pay overs for Rioli (8 and 11).

Imagine picks 2, 8, 10, 11, 13, 16, 20, 23, 31, 38, 39.

Absolute stupidity. We’d have no senior quality left. Kids would not develop.

really like hannaford, travaglia and berry from vic country

Draper and newton were good from south australia

 

[sregit]

Trevaglia has been huge this Q.
Saved country multiple times

Where is Trevaglia expected to be drafted? Looks an absolute rock. Takes a fantastic grab and uses the ball well.

i'd guess maybe 15-25

Really hope he is high on our radar.

Was not in top 30 at start of the year
But he definitely will be top 30 maybe top 20 if he keeps playing like this

 

[juss]

Must bid on Ashcroft.

Unless the Lions give us their first for a bunch of late junk picks in our favour and we have a bit of a gentlemen's agreement

Absolute stupidity. We’d have no senior quality left. Kids would not develop.

How many senior players do you want? Trading 3 senior players out would leave the following (assuming Grimes and Martin retire)

Lynch
Vlastuin
Prestia
Hopper
Short
Balta
Nank
MacIntosh
Graham
Broad
Pickett

That's not a north situation of no senior players. Trading 3 and retiring another 2 would still leave us with 10 or 11 experienced guys plus all the guys we have got games into this year.

Seen him mostly in 25-30 range but think he's more 12-20 seeing him today.

From the 2nd game, I really liked Travaglia Draper Langford Lindsay Dodson Whitlocks Nicholls & Berry

Travaglia could be a handy replacement for Vlastuin as that mid sized defender who can intercept mark and use the ball well coming out of D50.

With a top 3 pick likely we wouldn't be too upset to end up with Draper if the draft ended up that way. Much like Jagga in the first game he just makes things look so easy with clean hands and usage.

Langford as a 190cm midfielder could be a handy 2nd round pick up. Again used the ball well and can win his own footy.

Lindsay is another midfielder who just keeps on covering the ground and is another who could be a handy pick up in the 2nd round.

Dodson was impressive in the ruck with 19 disposals (12 contested possessions) & 20 hitouts and was the best of the rucks across the 2 games.

The Whitlock boys both worked hard today finishing with 16 disposals each with Jack having 10 contested possessions & a goal, while Matt was quite solid in D50.

Nicholls was very good for SA and could have finished with a nice haul of 3-4 goals with better conversion. Marked strongly in the contest leading up the the wings as well as inside 50.

Berry is a dangerous mid sized forward, had 3.2 from 12 disposals and makes things happen inside 50. Would be a handy addition to our F50 at the end of the year.

Jake Stringer vibes ?

3. Josh Smillie - Eastern - 194cm - Our 1st round pick / 3. Josh Smillie - Eastern - 194cm - Our 1st round pick
11. Taj Hotton - Sandringham - 182cm (acl injury) - Pick to Brisbane for points
13. Jobe Shanahan - Bendigo (NSW) - 194cm - If Baker leaves
27. Sam Lalor - GWV - 187cm - Our 2nd rounder
30 . Isaac Kako - Calder (Ess NGA) - 175cm

I would be happy with this haul

 

[tigs2010]

Bradley was disappointing after the match against the Allies which he starred in.

 

[Coach_Required]

Draper sky rocketed into top 5 calcs today. Anyone planning on him being a smokey are gone.

FOS
Draper
Smith

North, Richmond & Eagles should also make sure bids come early for Ashcroft & Camporeale.

I'm not so concerned about losing pick 2 now, however no lower than pick 3 to keep us with multiple choices.

Smillie was a little smelly, no stats guess he got injured?

 

[Oldest Tiger]

After today I do not expect to hear the word Howes again.

Is be disappointed if we even looked at Trainor.

Don't think he'd be a priority for us, maybe eagles given mcgovern and barrass age
