hmmm

It's the first time I've looked at the birth year of these guys.

I had already considered myself a failure by 2006.

A look at him putting in a solid performance on a wet day.

 

[Snake Charmer]

Some on here were calling for him with our picks in the 30s. Sounds good to me

 

[King Patty]

solid pick, was rated pre draft.

sounds like Jordan Houlahan high flying medium forward.

Day-Wicks is a Richmond supporter and idolises the likes of Dustin Martin – a fellow Bendigo Pioneers product – and Liam Baker. Although, he models his game on Isaac Heeney for the most part, sharing similar aerial ability and a knack for the mercurial as a midfielder-forward. From what he has shown, a spot in attack is where he thrives the most.


Maybe less Houlahan and more Heeney.

Nickname? Think we called the last guy with a hyphenated surname Margaret

Along the same line of thinking, I thought of "Kath" as in Kath Day-Knight

Really pleased with this pick, Matt Rosa is the real f****** deal. I’ve got majority of the players I really liked. Obviously we tried to trade up for Jobe Shanahan, but west coast declined us.

We’ve just added 7 kids that have really good foot skills onto our list, we’re about to add Prior too who’s really good with his feet and Brisbane fans were saying he’s one of the best players they’ve seen be delisted that was still really good.

As for Archer day-wicks, he was touted as a top 10 pick at the start of the year but consistency is what killed him. His talent is better than anyone Richmond selected barring Lalor, even Taj Hotton imo. But his consistency is what the drawback is with him, so he’s a bit like Munkara who has huge upside but I don’t know if he’ll make it especially with Brad Scott as our coach who seems to not trust players like this.

Im in the same sort of boat with our selections..

Barring Unwin (would have gone a bigger HFF / midfielder) nailed the types of players we really needed.

Get a really highly rated player in the SSP and its a huge tick of approval from for the new regime
