Can't argue with that... this time next year you will still be able to possibly argue this, and we might have to wait 2-3 years to see if he becomes regular 22.

Naish is an interesting one. People either think he's going to be a gun or won't make it, there's no inbetween

Pick 1...
The next one is a cross between Ben Cousins and Chris Judd and the youngest a Ablett jnr clone according to my source.
Well considering your track record I think it’s great pick... not to mention another clubs recruitment staff rated him well before pick 53.
Also a list is never built in a single draft. Last year we got Graham who is a potential to be an amazing inside mid to go with Prestia and Caddy, as well as growth of CEllis and Higgins who might be small but has proven to be a good inside mid at TAC Cup level. Balta also has potential to be a mid, hence most recruiters said he is a true 18 position player.
The brilliant thing is next year there is a whole new draft with highly rated talls, which means there is high chance mids will slip. Lucky we took them this year when the kids were rated higher.
You dont think we could use more outside class? Geez disagree with this.
People often say pick best available early then draft for needs late, but it's risky trying to be too clever with pick 53 in a weak draft. We know the saints rated him higher and I reckon most clubs would have put in a bid by pick 53. So clearly clubs rate him higher than you.
I think he might take McIntosh's job as he doesn't really use his height and Naish would provide better run and kicking skills.
I'm all for different opinions but mopsy said Richmond should have drafted someone else with pick 34 but the tigers never had that pick to begin with. It got activated as part of the bidding process.
If you're going to criticise the club, at least criticise them for things they had control over. To repeat, Richmond didn't originally have pick 34 and couldn't pick amyone there because it wasn't their pick to begin with.
It was either Naish or nothing and the pick changes to pick 53. So we're supposed to pass up on a player that many clubs would rate higher than pick 53? I hate to say this but Richmond doesn't yet have the depth to pass up on the best available. Needs to keep building and assembling talent.
Nahhh more like Nahas...

McIntosh doesn't kick to advantage and makes poor choices. There are weaknesses for all players. Anyone in the bottom six is at risk baring injury.
Yeah McIntosh isn't clean with the ball, and given Richmond often plays a rapid direct style of play, gun wingmen would be handy. Naish is a direct running long kicking wingman and suits the teams' game plan.
Mopsy are you this opinionated in a pub?
The poor kid has been a top 25 pick fancy all year.
If you howled him down in a pub for no apparent reason you would end up with a ****ing shiner.
Admit when you **** up like we all do. I do it all the time. You though are a ****en w***er

Mate can you please stop sugar coating it and just tell us what you really think of mopsy?
Sounds like a typical pick 34 to me.

I wonder what number Naish will receive.
More likely .... if the kid's last name was Nixon, Nance, Nevins or anything other than Naish, most wouldn't hold the opinions they do of the young guy.
The appeal is simply the fact he is a 'father-son'.

Great news! You have been wrong about just about everything else, so naish is certain to be a 4 time brownlow medalist

If he wasn't a father son he'd have been long gone by pick 34.
As mentioned F/S picks tend to slide because clubs don't waste time and resources on players they've got no chance of having.
Using pick 55 on him is a absolute bargain mopsy is just stubborn in his view that should have gotten even more talls when let's be honest tall players taken that late in the draft are speculative at best and much less likely to make it then a player like Naish who while been small and outside has class and skill level that can be if great benefit.

One of the best kicks at the club
What I find offensive is that you make opinions like this without having seen much of the kid. You live in WA. How many times have you gone and seen him play in person? Probably zero. Yet you say you don't rate him. Well FMD, why don't you give the kid a chance of showing what he's got before "rating" him? Others that have watched him in person rate him highly. He had the most metres gained in the Allies game of any player on the ground on GF day. Yet you would prefer what really would've been a speculative pick at pick 53 instead. LMAO. Remember we also got pick 63 with Naish and got Miller. No difference between 55 and 63 at all.
Just give the kid a chance before not rating him.
