2019 Draft

[Lsta062]

Anything positive from this year?

The majority of this year was positive for Richmond. Doesn’t mean that everything decision they make this year is going to have a positive outcome.

In fact, it’s usually the successful sides that give the vibe of being unprepared heading into the draft. I remember when Sydney, Fremantle and Hawthorn were up for years, I used to think that it felt like they were picking up whatever in the draft and backing their system to turn them into decent players and for the most part it worked.

It‘s an unusual feeling to experience this with Richmond now with all this success and I kinda feel like Richmond might just end up having the same outcome as the other successful sides. Pick up anyone in the draft and turn them into decent players.

see GWS picked another at 65.

That should not be possible in deficit!!

We have Ross, Balta, chol, Stack, Naish, RCD, CCJ, Graham, McIntosh, Turner, English and Higgins to come into the the side next year that didn't play in the GF.
Add Pickett with a full preseason.
We certainly did draft for three years down the track. Not 2020.

“The Lions seriously considered matching the bids, taking nearly their full allotment of five minutes each time, but ultimately the Tigers won through.“

Two cubs poached from Lions' den, 'Biggie' becomes a Tiggy

Richmond looked north for its draft haul on the second night of the NAB AFL Draft, taking two cubs right out of the Lions' den with consecutive picks

Looks like Brisbane may have wanted them at their clubs. Brisbane’s NEAFL side didn’t lose a game last year and thrashed many of the teams they faced including the Grand Final, so maybe that’s why we were so interested in the Brisbane Academy picks.

Pretty clear we really wanted Martyn so bid on Cumberland expecting Brisbane to match. Meaning they wouldn’t have the points to match our bid for Martyn. U could see Thursfield move Cumberlands magnet up when Brissy didn’t match. Probably cost us Bianco so we did the trade then. A pretty major stuff up. Hope they learn a lesson from it.

Now that’s when we really come to play

This is the key point that everyone needs to keep in mind when looking at our selections.

None of them are for the now, we dont need anything for the now.

A few of these guys have only just turned 18 or are yet to turn 18, real long game drafting.

I like it!

Saints would've taken him as a rookie though

 

[fargothegreat]

Now that’s when we really come to play

We only have the one rookie pick.

 

[TJASTA]

**** i did not get picked

 

[Soberian Tiger]

Needless to say that no-one picked that draft haul beforehand. Paddy Dow's younger and, hopefully, better brother and three academy filches (two Queenslanders and a Sudanese lad). Oh, and Ralpsmith; the only one I had in mind.

It would appear that the club is backing their talent development program. Fair enough. It's got the runs on the board.

A lot of Brisbane supporters seem to rate Cumberland. Did Bris not match bc they couldn’t? They were struggling to get a deal over the line earlier to match, maybe a bridge to far with Cumberland?

Both are the same height to.

I dunno. Bit of list clogging??

I like Cumberland highlights and his speed. He and Martin are a little similar though

 

[Lsta062]

We only have the one rookie pick.

Hope we tear them all apart with the one pick

I could be making things up in my head but I think that clubs are able to select any undrafted academy players as category B rookies.

That being the case any academy players who wasn’t selected can be instantly nominated as an category B rookie to their club and essentially selected for free without any other club then unable to select them.

I know when Eggmolesse-Smith went undrafted we nomainated him as a category B rookie before the rookie draft was held and no other club could select him, I think it was going to be the same if Kyle Kirby never got drafted.

interesting conspiracy theory that one.

Cumberland looks like the exciting one to me so I kinda am OK with that stuff up if it was what happened.

Having said that, one should only bid on a player if they‘d be happy to get that player. Too risky otherwise

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Not surprised we have placed a high priority on speed considering Butts Menadue and Moore all quick players departed.

Cumberlands highlights the most impressive

Really gets down to selecting players that fit your game style with those later picks do from that POV we’ve done ok
