Pre Season Draft

[MadAsHell 4,212]

With it now looking a shoe in that we will receive pick 1 in the PSD the question is who will we take with that pick? I know it's difficult to say as we don't yet know who will be available, but with talk around players like Boak, Lake, Hodge etc.... There could be anyone, so who do we think we will take and who will be available?

Personally I think we might take Alex Silvagni in the PSD from Casey. Biggest name that will be available I reckon will be Haselby who Richmond will take at pick 3.

Everyone elses thoughts?

As per basically every year, the chances of those players actually slipping through to the PSD is negligible. I think Nick Stevens is probably the only player of any merit that has made it to the PSD of recent times (prove me wrong someone).

Not that he turned out any good but Jade Rawlings was highly regarded entering the PSD. The end result didn't justify the hype mind you.

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

Stephen Powell was a nice pick up for the Saints.

Blake Caracella to Collingwood.

Since Stevens there's only been a handful:

Mahoney

Porplyzia

Mal Michael

Welsh

Martin

Cousins

Jurrah

We've done surprising well over the last couple of years

If he wasn't already on their list Richmond would probably take Jake King.

Gee, the Porpoise was a good pick up.

How old is Silvagni? How tall etc? The few times i've seen him play he seems a little undersized for the roles he's playing.

What about Wall? I've seen nothing of him at all, but he's generally in the best each week and seems to be pretty dominant at VFL level. Our ruck stocks are not great at the moment and according to some could be getting worse after trade week. Is he worth a look?

[rpfc 28,433]

If we take anyone from Casey then Valenti will be on the list.

We should be looking at an OOC youngster and if no-one desirable is their give the spot to Spencer or Valenti.

Silvagni's 192cm, 92kg and 22 years old. Can play forward and back and is in Casey's best most weeks. I reckon both Valenti and Spencer will be promoted off our rookie list also. Although none of them are probably in our best 22, think they'll all be players capable of making an impact at some stage next year.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,053]

Damn. He must've been taking on some absolute gorillas. Some weeks he's looked tiny next to his opponent.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,053]

James Wall 198cm 90kg 22 yo.

Ruck

He's been around a few clubs but he seems to be pretty good at VFL level. Anyone actually seen him play? Is he worth consideration?

[Bruce Almighty 0]

Trevor Oliver

East perth FC

Seen him but haven't taken much notice of him. Times I've watched him hasn't done anything to catch my eye, but at the same time hasn't done anything to make me think he's no good. Honest player IMO.

Now, where have I heard that before?

Newton? Bartram? Dunn? Bell? Miller?

Mark Couglin looks like he's on the outter at richmond.

noticed Chris Dawes was out this week, would we trade for him? what would he cost?

Maybe they have worked out after years of injury he's gone as an AFL footballer.

I watched him in the Casey- Coburg game and he looked slow and with no impact.

Anyway Richmond are idiots without that.
