Rumour Who is your club hot on?

[bobs head soup]

Given the draft rumour thread has gotten bogged down in pick trading scenarios, I thought I'd start a related thread that focuses solely on draftees.

If anyone has anything to offer on who their club is especially keen on (or even not so hot on), this thread would appreciate it.

Personal knowledge, club board ITKs, media reports, it's all welcome here.

Let's stick to the brief please.

 

[tigs2010]

Lalor, FOS, Smillie are the main 3 for us.

Outside of that someone on our board linked us to pairing the Whitlocks and another to Faull.

Probably hot on....

Hotton





Well.......somebody had to say it.......

Levi Ashcroft

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Supposedly North are going to trade Pick 2 their F1 & F2 to Richmond for Pick 1 just so we are 1000000% certain that we get Tauru.

No taking him at pick 1 would be overpaying. So they're going to trade pick 2 and their F1 for pick 6 to draft him for the right price.

 

[Hawker399]

Hawks really like Cooper Hynes but unless they trade out of 2025 they won't get him.

 

[Mofra]

Bulldogs have been linked to Hynes and Alger but they might have just been via regular combine interviews/ scout sightings.

Richmond

Lalor - Smillie - Allan - Reid - Hynes

Thinking 3 of the 5 good chance at Richmond

Would love Hotton to slide to 18/20

Not one of those is a Key position Player can’t be all Duck and no dinner as the saying goes

KPF are what we will take not KPD imo

#18 , #20 , #23 , #24 are where i think we will take 2 KPF and trade out 2 picks for F1's
Jonty Faull , Jobe Shannahan , Jack Whitlock , Kayle Gerryn will all most likely be available around that range

Would be happy with any of the 2 above

Question how do you rate the Tigs defensively other than the Lions game
Do you think they were competitive as defenders ?

I think you’re a good chance to get one to 2 of those depending on clubs above those picks


You would think Port and Sydney at least look at those players

I think our defence will be fine

Older heads in Vlastuin & Broad will steady the ship as mid defenders
Balta is the standout KPD
Blight ,Miller & Young as KPD that are young enough and solid
Brown is looking fantastic in the games he has played and looks a perfect Vlastuin replacement eventually
Trezise , Short , Banks , Smith as the running HB's

The defence im confident with provided the midfield dont leak clearances

 

[Blugazi]

Apparently the Blues were keen on Lalor or FOS specifically at Pick 3. Charlie West a bit later in the draft too.

 

[Jeremias]

Please leave this thread for actual rumours. There are many other threads to talk hypotheticals.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

We'll be taking Lalor at pick 1 from all reports. You'll take O'Sullivan or Smith , Adelaide want Draper

 

[GoTigers2015]

Lalor, FOS (if Richmond trade up), Trainor, Dodson, Allan (Twomey) and Alger and Hynes (Mark McGowan).

 

[tiger_tough]

we seem to be getting linked to Dodson by all the mainstream media.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Herald Sun reporting today that Carlton, Adelaide and Melbourne all like Jagga Smith. Apparently he won't make it past Melbourne's first pick.

They also confirmed Richmond like Smillie more than Langford.

An interesting take regarding who Richmond likes, especially after Twomeys comments that Richmond are the only club not taking calls from the media.

The Intel comes from other clubs. Not like Richmond going to say yeah we love Smillie.

Clubs are willing to exchange information with journos in return for other stuff, but I still think the biggest sources are the managers who are lobbying for their players to go as high as possible

How did you make half your list without the best long term defensive prospect you have in Gibcus?

Gibcus and Balta is why Richmond won’t reach on a key defender. Although you’d take a Tauru if he fell low enough and I can see why Matt Whitlock as another swing man type would appeal.

 

[ArdentEagle]

We've (WCE) have been linked with TT, Lindsay, Shanahan and Reid to a lesser extent.

Also much later/rookie, Michael Sellwood.

Is Michael Sellwood a Chinese copy of Joel Selwood?
