Mind if I re-work your post to give it some accuracy? we had the necesity to overlook cotchin, not the luxury. If we had a decent ruckmen, there is no doubt Cotchin would have been a fantastic addition to our midfield, even though we are developing a top midfield. You guys only have...

FWIW would any Richmond supporter be happy giving up Cotchin to Carltank for Kruezer alone, I doubt it very very much. Probably vice versa. I feel very lucky that Cotchin was available at 2. I bet the hawks fans think they were the lucky that Rioli was available to them, same for Freo...

Gee Parrot's can talk..not much sense though....awwwwwk

FWIW I prefer Cotchin, but I doubt you could fault Kruezers work ethic.

I am wrapt we got Cotchin, as I think would most of the RFC. Had carlton not tanked (just kidding...) and we picked first however, my bet is that we would have selected Kruezer and been very happy (and justified) with that choice. We lacked rucks a little less that you given we have...

Oh Come On. To be the best in the league you need to have not only great physical attributes, but a top footy brain as well. He may well be the best all around athlete the game has ever seen. That wouldn't be to bold a statement, and it will help A LOT. From what I have seen he has good vision...

Should be a top 10 for mine as well. I think he is your limited downside/upside guy. He has physical tools that will help him be a jack dyer 'good average player'. However I don't think he quite has the mindset to be a champion either. I think his best bet is to be a standout is CHB with...

I would argue that it is in fact much worse.

Dissapointing from what most would hope to get from pick 4. It is still to early to completley write off about 5 of those players how ever..though for most the clock is ticking. Tambling for instance had a reasonable year last year and improved in many areas like consistency and...

It's damn easy to make it exciting. Consider your ingredients : No footy for ages The best young talent there is Your teams futures are being painted The problem is it's presented without enough colour and video of the kids.

Some of your post made sense. Some was just silly. Connors hasn't even made it to regular senior footy, let alone 'cover' one of the best mid forwards going around. Hughes may have averaged 2 goals a game, but most of his games were very average. He is no lock to make it. In addition...

With the speeding up of throw in's, Tucky could be the pinch hitter if Simmo didn't get there in time. Generally that would mean Simmo's counterpart would also not arrive at the contest in time. If that happens a handfull of times a game, Patto would probably have a big advantage as he...

Our third round pick was spent on a midfielder. Surely that means we will go tall, big and tall.

Spot on gtf. If there was a top flight Paul Roos CHB available I would take him first of course, but there will not be at our pick. I have really warmed to McKernan. I was put off by his similarities to his brother and his clumsy look. I also thought he was a tweener. Upon closer look at...

I wan't to break down your statement. >There is alot of hype regarding Sidebottom Correct. 10 goals in a GF will do it every time. Great effort, great game...but overhyped. > becasue he has shown what he can do in big games. Yes a big junior game ... but his team was hot, the...

Re: Eagles, Dogs, Tigers to do deal Pattison goes ok. Elite endurance and despite looking a bit awkward at times he disposes of the ball pretty reliably. His ruckwork is acceptable and comes into his own towards the end of games as his opponents often wear out and he keeps going. As his body...

I am surprised at Congrats from a blues fan, thanks. Keep going like that and you will get a good name for yourselves. Our midfield is very very fast and also very very good at clearances. In addition there is at least one Gun in an under waiting to return in Coughlan. So I am a little...

Re: Top 10 Pick Mock With Explanation I can't fathom how Sidebottom has risen so much. I watched the GF and he had a purple patch. The defense he was on was woeful...absolutley woeful. Of his 10 goals, only about two impressed me. I just didn't see what other people are raving about...

Dew is a top up player and was recruitied for one thing alone. Grand Final football. He was an exception to the normal rules and yes, coaches should be able to have input on their lists in these circumstances. He should not have been recruitied to Richmond as we are at a different stage of...

There have been a lot of ludicrous comparisons already...riolo to tambling, now ablett... my god can't we just let him be him. Nb. on the last one, one of Gary's big strenghts is his hip/core strength. Tambling and MOST other midfielders dont even and never will go close in that department...

Mate I don't think there are many around any more. I was one last year. And I think with some justification. He has always been very good. This year however he was supreme. Credit to Terry for comitting to the team development and uncovering the greatest hff wingwan who ever lived in the...

A little story on Richo. I was at the Richmond Essendon game this year right outside the players box for injured and reserves players. Richo was out that week with a bit of a hammy. A kid, probably 9 or so was after an autograph and had been waiting very patiently outside the box for a good...

Gee I wonder why they are knocking us back...could it be that we have a history of sacking people mid season?

Well top 4 tiger, all I can say is thank goodness your not on Melbournes selection comittee as your analysis is a bit flawed for mine. If RFC took him at 8 and I would still have concerns as to wether or not he will be able to make the grade. It hasn't taken long for most people to see the...

Is it?????? There are no guarantees we will make the 8 next year or even get close. Some points from this season (amongst other things) : We pretty much won the games we could have and lost against better sides. We had a very good run with injuries. We won away games twice in WA. We had a...

I now live in Sydney and as my nephews are playing for the Easts team I have seen a few matches of U12's and some U16's. The kids skills are becoming so natural at AFL that I think most of you would also be surprised at how good they have become. Not only that but there are 'throngs' of them...

Agreed - Wow we get ahead of ourselves! When one of the most athletic player in ages, who is also a decent build and height goes through the main draft without being picked up by ALL clubs.....doesn't that tell you something? To me it means he has a hellavu lot to work on. It also means he...

Believe it or not .. Kel played some damn good senior footy last season towards the end of the year. From all acounts he earned his spot by top notch reserves play as well. So he is already not a one year wonder. hope that helps.

Re: Top 10 Pick Mock With Explanation You did well, for sure. If I were re selecting that draft, I would still have him about 4th behind Kruezer, Cotchin and Rioli. He would be a step ahead of Morton at this stage. The big question with him remains how much he will improve. Will he improve...

Juddyblu are you being simple again? Do you forget we actually beat you with Judd? So what does that say about your logical thought processes?
