Not happy at all. Clearly have gone away from best available. I have been happy with all our first picks in recent years, but this one's shit

Ridiculous statement.
Can't say I know much about him but he could have that Shane Edwards type potential and I know we'd all be rapt with that
For all those who thought his highlights reel was unimpressive. I suggest the club have been sitting on this. I saw Maurice play. This looks like his grandson. http://www.richmondfc.com.au/video/2015-11-24/tiger2
Surely Rioli is better than Sheds?

Maurice is the greatest Tiger I've seen in person. If this kids half as good as him we've got a gun.

That is not a highlight package its 1 game
The draft is a speculative auction. You cant call this as shit when he hasn't even played yet, let alone learned his craft.

Can I just say - He's endurance, skill and speed is absolutely elite.
His contested possession is supreme.
He'll need to build his strength, he's not going to rake up 30 disposals a game. But he'll have 10-12 possessions, win contested possessions at pivotal moments in matches and snag a goal here or there when we need someone to STEP UP.
He's just what we need.

If that's directed at me I said greatest I've seen in person. I never saw Hart play.
Agreed. Rioli is more riskier, but his upside is way better than the other draftees around our selection IMO. Our club has been very good with developing players over the last 4-5 years and I'm confident in the club to get the best out of him. It may be better to go for a player with a huge upside in a weak draft like this than to go for a vanilla player.

Shane Edwards potential? I'd be hoping for more than that from a pick 15.

Your not happy with a Shane Edwards type from a pick 15 in a poor draft?
You my friend overrate draft picks.
He looks like a good young kid, Cyril was a risk too when first taken with Hawthorn, and he turned out awesome. Even if Daniel turns out to be only half as good as that, we'll have a ripper!

Ive got an idea lets bag the kid before he plays a game to ruin any confidence the poor kid has. What a bunch of absoloute co ck suckers we have on here. Go support another club you flo gs. Get a ****ing life and give the bloke a chance.
