Shut up Fark, We dont want a run down of every player you picked...

[The F.A.R.K.]

Pick 62 - Max Duffy
Pick 63 - Brandt Colledge
Pick 64 - Pass

Bashers pick now?

We take Richmond 192cm half back/wingman Kamdyn Mcintosh

Mcintosh averaged 17 disposals and 3 tackles in 4 wafl games this year and can play as a kpp tall but also has pace and endurance to keep up with the midfield. He wasd in the top 3% for the beep test at the draft combine

i was going to choose him over clurey as he is the better DTer by a mile. The only problem is how many tall defenders do richmond need.

worth a punt this late though

He played as a tall in WAFL but from what ive read the richmond recruiting staff drafted him as a half back/wingman. McIntosh is 192cm tall, Pendles is 191cm...he can use his height to advantage in the midfield/wing

i hope not i was 50/50 on him and clurey

Read the richmond article on him. They name him as a half back/wingman

[The F.A.R.K.]

Shut up Fark, We dont want a run down of every player you picked...

Belgian Bashers are the best recruiting team in the country and we are proud of it

Pick 3: Jimmy Toumpas



At 182cm and 78kg, Toumpas is a goalkicking wingman, possessing class, skill and poise. Although he had an interrupted 2012, due to a hip injury, he was widely regarded as a top three pick for most of the year. He captained South Australia in the NAB AFL under 18 championships and has been regarded by many talent identifiers as a genuine leader at AFL level. Toumpas started playing SANFL in 2011 and was instrumental in the Eagles Grand Final kicking the goal of the day, a running goal from the half foward flank, and collecting 19 touches. Toumpas ave 92 at the NAB AFL under 18 championships which included an injury affected 38.

Mark Neeld says: “We know that in this case, Jimmy has played two years of senior footy and he was drafted with our first pick in the Draft. He captained the South Australian Under 18 team this year, and he’s played two years of senior footy in the SANFL, he's a classy player and can run and kick, so we’re rapt to have him here.”

Pick 4: Oliver Wines



Described as one of the toughest inside midfielders to come out of the under-18 system, Wines said he knows no other way than to bash and crash and win the hard ball. The 18-year-old attacks the footy like former Port hardman Josh Carr but has the ball-winning ability and class of Essendon Brownlow medallist Jobe Watson. Wines' style was moulded by the tutoring of Melbourne development coach Todd Viney, who coached him at junior level and focused heavily on his tackling. Wines avered 99 Dream Team points in the NAB AFL Under 18s championship.

Ken Hinkley says: "He's a really strong, hard, contested footballer but he's got the character as well. We know our club's going to be a better place for having him come into it, he is the sort of player you can build a club around"

Pick 14: Nick Vlastuin



Midfielder/Defender who consistently wins the contested footy and just consistently goes harder than the next player. Big time clearance player. Skill level is exceptional, uses it well by both hand and foot and rarely makes mistakes. Particularly stands out by foot and has nice penetration. Has also been noted for leadership and really leads by example out on the field so there is a lot to like. Marking ability forward of centre very good for a midfielder. Consistently plays to a high level. Athletically only average and endurance still a work in progress and will need to improve before he develops into a full time midfielder. Tackles hard and willingly works both ways. Looks like a very low risk, solid pro who is worthy of a high draft position. Probably didn’t produce the numbers at the u18 champs that many expected but still a very desirable prospect and a guy you can play through the midfield or off a back flank tomorrow. Plays very similar to richmond coach Damien Hardwick and Brownlow medallist Michael Voss. Nick Vlastuin averaged 74 dt points and 6.3 tackles a game at the NAB AFL Under 18s championships

Rohan Walsh (Vic Metro Coach) says: "If I had to compare him to an AFL footballer, I would say that he reminds me of a young Michael Voss.  He is tough, hard at the footy, and the man with the footy, leads by his actions, and uses the ball well. He is an old-school footballer, who just loves competing and getting the best out of himself and his teammates.  He isn’t an athlete, who has been turned into a footballer - he’s quite the opposite"
 
Pick 16: Troy Menzel



He is arguably one of the most talented players on offer, both up forward and in the midfield. He showed what he could do up forward in the first two weeks of the U18 Championships, when he kicked 15 goals in two of the best games the Championships have seen. And he continued that form back in the SANFL, being a regular goal scorer for Central Districts in the league side. His kicking is absolutely top notch, as is general feel of the game. At Carlton he will largely be a forward at AFL level, but one who can have stints in the midfield. He'll play a similar level to Steve Johnson and Alan Didak. He underwent LARS surgery at 16 on his right (non-kicking) leg, strained a posterior cruciate ligament playing for the Bulldogs in this year's SANFL finals series and has a brother, Geelong's Daniel Menzel, who is recovering from a second knee reconstruction in two years. Menzel avered 128 ppg in the NAB AFL under 18s championships.

Kevin Sheehan says: "He kicked nine goals in the first game of the nationals and six goals in the next and he has had two years of senior footy in the SANFL. He can win the ball in any area and is a proven senior forward. If he was available, I would be saying: 'Yep, go Menzel'"

Jimmy Toumpas says: "He is a great player and he could go a long way and whatever club is lucky enough to get him will be pretty happy. I've seem some things he has done at training that obviously no one else has seen."

Pick 41: Dean Terlich



Dean is a medium sized Half backer/Half foward who came off Sydney swans rookie list in 2008. He is quick at the ball a smart thinker and can run all day. Dean collected 31 touches in the SANFL grand final this year and averaged 27 touches for the year. Terlich, a rebounding defender, has been on Melbourne's radar for some time and the club's interest was piqued further when he won the Jack Oatey Medal for best afield in the SANFL Grand Final.

Mark Neeld says: "We’ve been tracking Dean for quite a while. We really like the way that he was able to adjust his footy career, by going back. We think he can play straight away. He has lovely skills and is a player who has a history of playing well in big games"

Pick 52: Matt Jones



Another mature aged player Jones is a 25 year old midfielder. Clean running player who arrived at Box Hill this year from Labrador but is originally from South Croydon. Did a pre season with the Western Bulldogs last year and has worked hard on his tackling and defensive pressure. Jones is a run-and-carry player, who can take on the opposition and can hit the scoreboard. The ball-magnet midfielder said he “had a few chats with a couple of clubs, but they were nothing too serious”. Jones is a midfielder capable of playing inside and outside.

Mark Neeld says: He’s got a great tank and no matter where he’s played - he’s got a background of playing really well in successful clubs. He’s a little bit older and a bit more mature at 25, he can play straight away."

Pick 54: Rory Atkins



Rory Atkins is a medium forward/midfielder with very good agility and composure with the ball. Makes good decisions with his disposal either by hand or on his preferred left foot. Plays as a hit-up half-forward who is a good overhead mark as well as being clean at ground level. Played two games for Vic Metro and averaged more than 20 disposals a game at TAC Cup level. AIS-AFL Academy graduate. Atkins has travelled a different path than most to get to this point. Was one of the standout performers in Victoria as a 16-year-old, which saw him picked in the AIS-AFL Academy. But after a 2011 season that didn't meet expectations, he was cut from the prestigious program for his draft year. He also endured disappointment when he played only two games for Vic Metro at the championships this season before failing to make the final squad. But, in a sign of his maturity, Atkins bounced back. The week after being dropped by Metro he had 37 disposals, kicked two goals and was best afield for the Calder Cannons in their win over the Sandringham Dragons in the TAC Cup. The creative midfielder continued in the same vein, winning the club's best and fairest. Recruiters like his ability to shift forward and make an impact on the scoreboard (he kicked 12 goals in 15 games for the Cannons this year.) Atkins finished equal first in the Kicking test at this years draft combine. In Atkins best game for Sandringham Dragons the stats computer malfunctioned but spectators said Atkins collected close to 50 touches.

Hamish Ogivile (Crows recruiting manager) says: "Rory is very talented, but things have probably come easy to him. He’s just starting to learn how to work hard now after a few kicks in the pants. He’s had his ups and downs, but he’s been up for the last half of the season and played really well. He still has a bit to learn about the work required to play at AFL level, but you can’t beat talent"

Pick 56: Josh Prudden



Inside midfielder Josh Prudden may have gone under the radar with limited exposure but the Western Bulldogs recruiting team believe they have found a gem with pick number 50 (third round selection) in the 2012 AFL National Draft. A workhorse around the stoppages, the 18 year old will bolster the Bulldogs growing inside midfield stocks buthas the ability to play in defence. Prudden is a hard runner who is accurate by foot and possesses strong leadership skills. He had limited exposure during the TAC Cup this season playing only seven games for the Murray Bushrangers but was a favourite of school (Assumption College) football coach, former Bulldog Scott Wynd

John Dalrymple (Western Bulldogs Recruiter) says: "Josh is a hard running midfielder who has a great ability to win the ball in contested situations and has a neat kick. Went under the radar this year as he only played seven games. We’re thrilled to get him so late in the draft."

Pick 66: Kamdyn McIntosh



The Belgian bashers have selected versatile running half back/wingman Kamdyn McIntosh with it’s final pick in the 2012 draft. McIntosh came to prominence in 2012 with strong performances as a key defender for the WA U18 team in the 2012 Carnival.
Can play on talls and smalls and has a terrific endurance that will allow him to rebound with purpose out of defence. A strong carnival gave him great confidence on his return to WAFL football, and he quickly graduated to the league side at his club Peel Thunder. McIntosh although 192cm tall Can also push up to the wing and play more of a swingman role.

Richmond Recruiting staff say: "Kamdyn is a versatile, hard running, athletic defender who we hope can link up with the midfield at times. He is an ideal modern footballer"
