It's getting tough now. I was tossing up between a few here and I suspect those I don't pick will be gone before my next shot.

Pick 128 - Trevor Poole
View attachment 1293209
1985 Jack Dyer Medallist Poole played 99 games and kicked 56 goals for the Tigers before crossing to Geelong where he played a further 54 games and kicked 34 goals, and was a member of their 1992 grand final side. A dashing, well-built (188cm, 90kg), skillful, strong marking half-back, he also finished 3rd in the JDM in 1986. He was useful when thrown forward, with a best of 5.4 in a 91-point hiding against Sydney in 1987, and played some good footy on the wing for the Cats, but was best suited down back.
Poole represented Victoria twice in 1985. He could rack the ball up in his favoured half-back spot, frequently repelling opposition attacks. Dashing and consistent, he'll complement Bachar beautifully on my opposite HBF.

maybe not every one rates him as highHow Nathen Brown got drafted in front of Mathew Knights has got me confused.
Why because he coached Essendon?maybe not every one rates him as high
only rating him as a player i think Brown was a better playerWhy because he coached Essendon?
Brown - 82 games, 143 goals 2 x All Australian.only rating him as a player i think Brown was a better player
Before Brown broke his leg he was in the most red hot form of any player I've seen.How Nathen Brown got drafted in front of Mathew Knights has got me confused.
I would disagree. Brown averaged 2 goals a game, Knights carried our midfield for 10 years and was constantly in the best players.Before Brown broke his leg he was in the most red hot form of any player I've seen.
Knighta was fantastic for us in the lean years, but Brown the more talented footballer, IMO.
I will put my hand up and say my knowledge of club history leading into this was not great, and that's putting it mildly. And I didn't even understand what we were doing until about the fourth round. I thought we were just picking a best 22 all time, not our own best 22 lol. That said, i have learned a lot as it's gone on and it's been fun. It is certainly not a correct order of best Richmond players. Also, many picks are for needs and not best available.
Great choice.It's getting tough now. I was tossing up between a few here and I suspect those I don't pick will be gone before my next shot.

Great choice.
You didn't rate him, PA? As a kid I thought he was a gun, was spewing when he left.He was better than I remembered RATD
Brown - 82 games, 143 goals 2 x All Australian.
Knights- 279games , 141 goals, 2 x b&f, 1x All Australian, Captain for 4 years.
Destroyed Essendon in a final.

Here's a reminder of his class in a final.

Don't forget to make your pick whilst you're here
Brown was the best player in the comp when he broke his leg. He was incredible that year. Knights was a fantastic player over more than a decade.ruined by injury was top 25 in the comp when he broke is leg i would take brown every day of the week before knights
i thought knights was an ok player but didn't rise to the match winner as often as Brown
It's easy to sit there and question how Knights got picked after Brown, but when you're selecting against 8 others and need to pick players in positions it becomes a game of chess, where you might have 6 players you want to take but you need to then guess who the others might take before your next pick.How Nathen Brown got drafted in front of Mathew Knights has got me confused.

Maybe if we run this again in a few years time, you can put throw you selectors hat on and have a crack yourself and see if the best 22 players you rate make it through to your selections.
Maybe the selectors could show more respect to a club champion, rather than a guy who played for only a few years for us.It's easy to sit there and question how Knights got picked after Brown, but when you're selecting against 8 others and need to pick players in positions it becomes a game of chess, where you might have 6 players you want to take but you need to then guess who the others might take before your next pick.
