No we don't. We need speed no matter how poorly skilled they may be. Just want fast dudes. Keep up bro.On Ellis, didn't EQ rate him as one of the best kicks in the draft?
Geez we need some of those
Lids is our most composed player imo.I am a huge supporter of Vlastuin. He is our most composed player already and just looks like he belongs there.
From a pure list balance point of view, Grundy was a pressing need. I wouldn't give up Vlastuin for Grundy, and if we had of taken Grundy, I wouldn't give him up for Vlastuin. Both would have been critically important for our list going forward. It's just trying to balance the list going forward.
Just like a Laverde or Weller over Ellis is the smarter list management decision.
Oh you support us getting a slow campaigner I seequiet troll
Not sure Lever is a bigger risk than Ellis who has had foot stress fractures. Our KPP stocks are just not talented enough and this is the draft to improve them. Sadly Richmond don't have the courage to improve. Ellis is just another foot soldier type."
Mentioned the other day that a young bloke I know through cricket Pat McKenna has been spoken to by us and others.
Had no idea about his footy but he's the Aus under 19 cricket skipper.
So I asked Rod McPherson about him. He's from the area and I respect his opinion on junior talent more than anyone I can think of.
Certainly as far as people I know but he's a highly regarded person in the caper.
He was emphatic about him.
I think Mr Magic said he was compared to a Steve Johnson type and that's pretty much what Rod said.
Compared him to Breust.
He was encouraged to nominate for the draft by recruiters including ours apparently.
He led the goalkicking from half forward in the seniors for Gisborne in the Bendigo league this year and kicked 9 in a game. Played one under 18 game and kicked 16.
McPherson reckons he's just a pure pure footballer with awesome kicking skills and awareness.
Still young enough that if he doesn't go this year can play TAC cup next year.
Sounds like a great late round pick.
As Rod said he'd love the dogs to take him but they "can't get ******* anything right"
I'll be watching with interest and quietly hoping we take him.
Something I like about kids playing senior footy in the bush and succeeding.
Don't we have later picks we can use on less skilled but still quick players?No we don't. We need speed no matter how poorly skilled they may be. Just want fast dudes. Keep up bro.
Don't we have later picks we can use on less skilled but still quick players?
Shouldn't we be picking the class players with our first pick?
No.Don't we have later picks we can use on less skilled but still quick players?

Was Levers' injury a contact injury or a simple movement injury? The reason why, is if its a contact injury its most likely just a situational injury, but a movement type could mean poor ligament or joint strength(just genetics) and could be a risk. See Patton as to what I mean.The thing with Lever is the knee & the associated risk. Our dilemma is that if he wasn't a risk he'd be gone before our pick and the reason he might be available is because he's a risk! Therefore our aversion to risk makes him a no! The only thing we can bank on is that if we take Ellis, every player taken at 13 and below was not on our radar relative to our fall back position. 20hrs and we will know that list.

For better or worse.Of course i support a slow campaigner, i mean i've supported you.
Have to sign up to a site where you can download it from. I imagine it will be pretty time consuming but if you are still interested PM me and I'll give you the link. Otherwise there's this video that doesn't do him any justice.
Don't worry I know most don't them play besides the two televised games, normally I'm one of them but was able to watch a lot more this year.
The second video to me showed while he isn't lightning quick, he certainly isn't 'slow'.
Sorry I can't hear you over the sound of my curtains not fadingHappy Corey Ellis Day everyone except Drcampaigner stupid WA prick with his shitty time zone.
