Why would he stay? Convince me.

It's a shallow draft from all accounts, which could render our later picks perhaps quite worthless or only capable of selecting donkeys. Feel that we need to keep our high draft pick to get at least some good talent through the draft, what if we missed out on another Brayshaw/Salem? Howe and some other sweetners may work if Prestia wants out and wants to come to us. I have full faith in the recruiting drafting team, they have been outstanding since they came in.

i know it's just rumour and speculation, but... Just not for pick 5 though...

Mate, it's Demonland

awesome, that means that you would have also seen that he has been averaging 25+ possessions a game since 2013 However i wouldn't been offering our pick 5 (currently) for him. But a later pick, plus a Howe...etc.

no thanks.

Yup, this post nails it for me. good job you.

Much has been said about his destruction of players, but what about his rise in other areas. He is a contested possession machine, whose work in close in second to none. He extracts the ball so well and gets it out to the outside players. HE IS A BEAST!!!!

Petracca is 19, and hasn't played one single game of AFL football yet. Somehow i don't think he would be a suitable mentor to Bennell, and even if he was, somehow i don't think Bennell would listen. Cross, yes. Patricia, no.

Welcome legend. Like your enthusiasm in your first post. It will soon fade and you will be as bitter as the rest of us. In response to your post, i couldn't give a rats [censored] ass if any of the players you named were gone by seasons end. So i recon you nailed it. See you round the D'Land.

disposal can be dodgy on the kid sometimes, but all of his other qualities outweigh this.

It's the sample of this year, at virtually the same age, with Aish playing more games. It can't be shallow when it is the most up to date stats. Aish for me is no. Persist with JT and go for someone else.

see above Stat post from me matinee

i feel like him and Toumpas are extremely similar, and Toumpas is actually beating him in development currently. So why not persists with the one we already have and chase something else?

DON'T RATE AISH.

Yarran? I'd take him.

[censored] i hate GWS, i wish them nothing but pain.

DREAM IS OVER BOYS...MOVE ONTO THE NEXT PROSPECT WHO WE CAN SALIVATE OVER BUT NEVER HAVE A CHANCE OF OBTAINING: Dylan Shiel has re-signed with the GWS Giants until the end of 2017. Source: Rohan Kelly / News Corp Australia DYLAN Shiel has resisted lucrative offers from Victorian clubs to re-sign with the GWS Giants. The Daily Telegraph is reporting that Shiel has signed a two-year contract extension that will tie him to the club until the end of 2017. “It’s a relief to get it all done,” Shiel told the Daily Telegraph. “Now I can focus on building on this season with the club.”

Picket Fence, sometimes i think you have a clue about the game, other times not.

Sadly, i feel that many of those names mentioned will be old enough to retire by the time we actually have a decent list. The club has wasted their AFL careers (except Cross), and in some aspects, they have wasted the clubs.

yup. Although it isn't red and blue anymore, it's grey.

This is him, i assume?: http://www.afltas.com.au/tigers-youngster-kieran-lovell-looks-to-maintain-his-roots/ Tigers youngster Kieran Lovell looks to maintain his roots By AFLTas AFLTas On May 20, 2015 · Add Comment · In Home Page By Simeon Thomas-Wilson TALENTED youngster Kieran Lovell is a strong chance to realise his AFL dream while still maintaining his roots – something quite rare in today’s game. Former AFL players Trent Nichols (Richmond, North Melbourne and West Coast), Shayne Stevenson (Fitzroy, Hawthorn), Andrew Lamprill (Melbourne) and Mark McQueen (Richmond) all hailed from Kingborough/Huon region, just like Lovell. However, the others had to move to city clubs in Hobart, Clarence or Glenorchy to get noticed, while Lovell has stayed at his grassroots club, the Tigers. The 18-yeart-old Hobart Collage student has been in stunning form for the Mariners in their two TAC Cup games so far this season. Against Sandringham, the on-baller won 32 possessions, while against the Northern Knights he amassed 39 possessions. His stellar performance against the Northern Knights came despite being up against gun midfielder Jade Gresham, who is firmly on AFL recruiters’ watch list after a blistering start to the competition. “I’m really happy with how I’ve started. The competition is really good, it’s quick and I like it,” Lovell said. These performances have thrust Lovell well into the mix of having his name called out come the Draft. Lovell said his primary focus was just on performing well for the Tigers and the Mariners. “That’s the dream [getting drafted], but it’s still early and there’s a long way to go,” Lovell said. “It would be good to have the opportunity but I need to keep on getting the ball and keeping my intensity up.” Mariners coach Adam Sanders said it would be unwise to lock Lovell’s name in for the Draft, but said his form had been very pleasing. “It’s still a process for him, he does have to work on some things,” Sanders said. “He’s 173/174cm tall and due to that he needs to make sure he has no gaps in his game.” The Mariners next play the Bendigo Pioneers at North Hobart Oval on May 30, their first game in Tasmania since 2013.
