I never understood the level of hate for chaplin. He used to wave his arms around...he became a coach. He said Richmond had more unity and professionalism as a playing group than port..it eventually proved to be correct. He left as a free agent and port got whatever compensation. He won a flag...
We could have taken both. That was strange.
I wonder why he hasn't been in any pathways? If he's playing for Sandringham then its not location. Hopefully he goes well.
It sounds like Port did very well getting Berry and Jack Whitlock. Port had berry rated before Reid and Whitlock. There was a lot of interest in Berry in the picks just before Port's selection. If Berry and Reid were off the board then port would have slid back and picked up whitlock and...
Hawthorn tried to get him as an nga for his Brazilian heritage but he didn't qualify.
We really drafted some kids who seem genuinely nice and excited to be at the club. They should add some enthusiasm to the pre season.
Those stats highlight that he really is a small contested mid rather than purely a small forward. He has the speed and tricks to make that work in the forward line.
He's 200cm and a good athlete. The really impressive thing is that he xan also take contested marks. He has massive potential. Hopefully we develop it.
I think our drafting went well. I'm bullish on benny barrett. I like Richards. I'm just not comfortable with bringing in atkins and cochrane for non talent reasons. We already have enough dead wood.
I think Clancy Dennis still has an ankle injury. Not sure how serious it is. It seems like port was never using their fourth pick because they had different ideas for their last two spots! Its lucky there was no bid on benny.
I thought we did great. I would have liked to round off the draft with Clancy Dennis but it seems like we weren't taking a fourth pick for reasons. I still like day-wicks of the undraffted players.
I prefer Jack to matt? Matt looks a bit panicky.
I'm happy with any of shanahan, whitlock, gerryn and sims.
There's also about 4 tall defenders who seem to be similarly rated for the second pick.
I assume no one will bid on barrett now that we can match. I like barrett.
I'm assuming we use...
Thomas Sims is a commanding forward presence. I'd be happy with him as our second pick.
I dont mind day-wicks as a late pick.
I think Travaglia is going to be a gun but we won't get him.
The late mail changes very little. Kako and Marshall get bid on a few spots earlier. The only change is Melbourne taking Lindsay instead of Allan with Richmond getting Allan at the next pick instead of Lindsay.
