Maurice JNR

[craig]

From all the reading on this years draft crop i havent seen Junior's name mentioned anywhere so based on that I hope & trust he doesn't get any bids until the 3rd round

Hopefully others have just decided he's a Tiger and not worth the chicanery.

Some team of campaigners with an axe to grind might bid a first or second rounder just to boil our pisss #anythingtostopthetigers.

Least we know it wont be the Sooks as they don't have one

I reckon Dildoro at the Bombers will bid since they have 3 in the top 10, not because they want him particularly, but just to be a *smile*. He has form in this area.

I reckon we should wait until March 2022 and unfurl 3

I think theres some logistical challenges to back ending

too many flag unfurlings.

With Melbournes heroic suppression of Covid 2.0,

I think its realistic, and romantic, to unfurl the 19/20 flags in front of every Richmond member who can stuff themselves into the MCG in. March 2021.

I reckon it will be an incredible moment.

I think RFC should book out the whole MCG precinct and throw a huge back to back premiership party,

dedicated to all the paid up members who didnt get to see a game in 2020.

there should be free black and yellow Dagwood dogs and Toby Nankervis piggy back rides

 

[Tigerfan]

Will other clubs bid for him before pick 17??

No
It will be naish all over again

 

[zippadeee]

No

Is he like Liam Ryan??

What does that actually mean - how does he get on our list?

We can nominate him as a father/son. If another club bids on him we can choose to take him by matching the point value of the pick he is selected at less the 25% discount.

How tall is M JNR?
ESPN phantom draft have him as 179cm's, I didn't think he was that tall.

And wasn't Clarke on trade radio recently saying he was a late to rookie pick. A lot of pressure on this kid already.

 

[blx]

He seems very well balanced to handle the pressure. Has spent considerable time in the system and around the club. No doubt Daniel has given him the right guidance through it all too. It's not as if he is coming from the 'village' to the G.

 

[tigertim]

We just have to give him plenty of time to develop.

Correct!

Tigerman the below article has Junior at 173cm which i think is closer to the mark.

Matty Clarke isn't likely to say MRJ is a 1st rounder is he

Cheers caesar, I noticed that after I posted the question, Mo Jo is the same height as Bakes
I'm looking forward to the Mojo that Mo Jo brings to the Mighty Tiges.

I've just realised the MRJ shares his birthday 1st September with his late great Dad
