2022 Draft Thread

[Tigers of Old]

Steely looks like a Baker clone.

 

[Redford]

I don’t mind drafting from WA. We do a lot better from there than SA; Shedda and Fridge notwithstanding.

Especially don’t like SA talls. Glad we stayed away from them.

Barnett the only half certain tall from SA this year.

Bad record SA talls. Last decent one Pavlich ?

 

[taztiger4]

At pick 50 odd,would anybody take a Liam Mcbean or Liam Baker ,as that's what's on offer as a choice.

you would take the Baker every day of the week

 

[Rfc4Ever]

Has an absolute low hard bullet pass to leads.

Tough and plays above his height.
Ablett likened him to a Jack Steele type

 

[Rfc4Ever]

They shook hands all round the Richmond draft table after last pick so reckon we are done?

Ah, didn't see that, fair enough

 

[Ripplestick]

Sounds like Bakes, imagine two Bakes!

 

[Ridley]

Tough and plays above his height.

I think he was just confusing the names. He thought we drafted Steely Steele.

 

[momentai]

Thought we would take a tall, but our choices underline Dima’s ongoing commitment to speed and chaos.

Typical Richmond draft and Typical Richmond PRE draft board. We have no idea....

Overlooked my selections there cracker!

 

[TigerFurious]

Right now, it looks like we had a pretty bad night. Two midgets, no talls, long delays in making our choices.

That’s not to say Green or Smith can’t be good players but I suspect they were not our first, second or even third choices.

 

[King Kong]

Pass - on to the rookie draft tomorrow

 

[tigertim]

Tigers have pulled up stumps.

 

[Tigerfan]

Taranto …. Lambert
Hopper …. Edwards
Smith …. Caddy
Green … martyn
??? ….. collier - Dawkins
???? …. Parker
?? …. Aarts
?? ….. stack

 

[craig]

Tigers took a minute to pass, obvious the time delay to Perth there asking the WA team what they should do!

 

[Sintiger]

Reelin In the Years.

Pretzel logic ?

 

[taztiger4]

Pass

haha , told ya

 

[17]

Rather take mids with serious development upside than Vickery clone talls that stick out at u18’s but no guarantee to make the transition to the big league.
Is it true Green has been playing for only three years and yet spent the year in the WAFL seniors?
Crikey.com.au
And Steely is an absolute gem of a name; the marketing opportunities are enormous.
Visionary stuff Tiges.

 

[TigerForce]

This draft was weaker than first thought. First time I've seen ~ 10 early rounders still on the table.

 

[The_General]

2.88 for 20m.

Was that Steely?

 

[Ridley]

We need talls but no point taking them if you don’t think they are not much chop. Would rather have a good smaller player. And the talls on offer were from SA and I reckon we learnt our lesson with CCJ. As a rule SA talls are ordinary.

 

[craig]

Off to the rookie draft.

How many picks do we have ?
