Who Will We Get With Pick 4?

Listening to SEN this morning, it seems a formality that the Tigers will pick up Mitch Morton from the Eagles.

This being the case, i am almost certain that part of this deal would be to take brother Cale with the No.2 pick.

This leaves West Coast with the decision of taking the next best player in Cotchin, who is a Victorian, and whose Dad has already expressed reservations about his son going to their club.

I believe we are an excellent chance of snaring Cotchin, as the eagles, with this Judd experience may opt for one of the highly touted WA boys in Masten or Palmer.

    Cotchin would be incredible to land and i dont see it happening. I want Palmer preferably...that is if Cotchin is unavailible

    4- Palmer

    14 (tj goes) - Rance

    Why is Richmond picking up Cale a condition of West Coast trading Mitch? The only party that could impose that condition, and even then it would only be a gentlemans agreement, is West Coast. Mitch is hardly in the position to say 'I'll only go to Richmond if you pick up Cale'. And if WC were pushing this condition, then you could be dead-set certain they are after Cotchin.

    There is a suggestion that the parents will relocate to Melbourne with both brothers playing together on the one team.

    Cale is regarded as a top three pick. The Tigers will be getting Mitch relatively cheaply, but a player must agree to be traded. Would Mitch be more than happy to land at Richmond if he knew his brother was going to play there too? I think it's a possibility.

    Fair enough. I note also that the other one is playing at Hawthorn.

    I don't think McEvoy is the best player available at pick 4. I suspect it will be either Palmer or Masten.

    McEvoys stock has risen dramatically

    I would have taken Palmer, but now I would go with mcEvoy

    A 199cm kid that can take a mark and kick a goal.

    We are screaming out for talented KPP's

    sounds like luke molan or nick smith....

    I'll put the question like this.

    If the Tigers did draft Cale Morton at No.2, do you think West Coast would draft Cotchin?

    Yes.

    They may have been stung this year by Juda$, but they will not expect that to happen all the time, or even most of the time. This would be our only chance of getting Cotchin, and it is not high-percentage recruiting by West Coast.

    Believe me I would be ecstatic, but I do not see it happening.

    Our only hope is that the take Palmer or Masten at pick 3

    Both WA boys

    Let us pray

    I understand that Masten is rated VERY highly in WA. I don't remember where I read it exactly but he is very well regarded over there. He is almost the archetypal in-and-under midfielder. So there is a chance, and it is Masten. But the chance is slim.

    On the one hand Cotchin's father may not want his son playing for WC... even though WC would say they don't give a rat's what Cotchin's father thinks, this would probably be a turn off for them.

    But on the other hand he is rated as about the most talented player in the draft, and Masten has OP.

    You obviously didn't see the under 18s grand final. Less chance of drafting McEvoy after we have traded for Meesen. I would say we were more of a chance to go for Palmer, Masten or Ebert from your list.

    The Richmond supporter who called up today, had mail that the Tigers were going to take Cale if they secured Mitch in the trading period.

    KB quizzed Greg Miller about Morton and Cotchin on his show yesterday because he had received messages from concerned Tiger fans that they were not going to take Cotchin. Miller was very deflective on this topic.

    I just find it interesting that Mitch wants out of West Coast and is linked with the Tigers like it is a done deal. It's a stretch, but not out of the realms of possibility.

    Got to agree with that. Obviously I have my preferences, but I'm not going dislike a player just because we could have had someone else.

    From the sound of it, they will take Cale with pick 2. Thats what we've been hearing from the get go. If Miller is avoiding the issue then you can bet your bottom dollar that that is what they are going to do. Who the hell are KB and the supporters to complain if Miller decides that Morton is their man?

    I don't think thats the issue, however. The issue will be getting Cotchin past Weagles at pick 3.

    We have all identified the holes in our list, one was a ruckman, we now have 3 young ruckman and White, we have two years for Jamar, PJ and Meesen to step up to be our No1 Ruck.

    Secondly are two key post CHf and CHB, do we look at Rance and Henderson

    And last we need skillfull, fast midfielders to complement our hard young midfielders we have now. I think pick 4 should be used to get depending who is avaliable one of Palmer, Masten, Ebert, Cotchin or Morton all see to fit what we need. IMO this is the way to go get one of these guys, I will leave it to CAC and Bailey to decide.

  • Quote

    I agree Drake, Do we look at drafting both Henderson and Rance (should he be available) in the one draft???

    Or do we get a mid with our first pick (Palmer, Masten, Ebert, Cotchin :rolleyes: ) and then go for a KPP??? If this was the way, which i think it will be, surely we would go for a backman first.

    Our first pick needs to be on a fast and skilled mid, IMHO. If WCE get scared by another Judd scenario and we get Cotchin, that seems to be great. Either way, we should get a decent player.

    I'd spend our other picks on KPP prospects - if they're ~the best at that pick, if not you just take whoever - and rookie ruckmen.

    Agree with trapper gone we need a quick mid with silky skills that can feed of junior, jones and mclean.

    Well im thinking its out of Palmer or Cotchin for our 4th pick ( whoever is there standing there to be taken)

    Can anyone elaborate what the differences are for these two players?

    As i want someone with silky skills and chases hard for tackles but most of all silky skills to go along with our hard nut younger midfield, actually as i think about it, Simon Buckley could be that man, i really think he has some nice skills and could play a bigger part in 2008

  • Quote

    i'm starting to hear so much about Masten, that it seems he's clearly the best midfielder after Cotchin and Morton.

    if WestCoast dont pick this kid up, we should definitely take him.

    runs a beep test of 14.12, springs in under 3 seconds. in the archetypal inside and outside midfielder. is a ball magnet, and a genuine footballer

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
