Well it was Tiger of Old who chose both of them, you better have a word!!Maybe the selectors could show more respect to a club champion, rather than a guy who played for only a few years for us.

Nah, it's ok , it's a best team draft, and I'm over my shock now!Well it was Tiger of Old who chose both of them, you better have a word!!
Once again the exercise is based on picking the best possible 22 in position. Maybe those who picked others ahead of Knights rated them much higher than Knights. That's all part of the game being played here. Do you reach for someone early on knowing that you're picking again for 8-10 picks, or only getting to take back to back picks every 16 picks.Maybe the selectors could show more respect to a club champion, rather than a guy who played for only a few years for us.
Knighta was a respected Richmond champion, but after he went to coach Essendon, some hzve downgraded him imo.Once again the exercise is based on picking the best possible 22 in position.

Hardly a downgrade to be selected where he was, given he was the 22nd player picked in the Team of the Century and was taken ahead of the likes of starting 18 players in Clay Dean McCormack Keane & MorrisKnighta was a respected Richmond champion, but after he went to coach Essendon, some hzve downgraded him imo.
I get the draft style now, I just wanted to pump up Knighta who put in every week in the hard years.

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.
Eenie-meenie-minie-moe...
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.

Just looking over all the teams, and I reckon I'd go in with a completely different strategy if we ever did this again. Missed the mark in a few places.
oooh, there's a couple of legends still on the board that I can't fit into the starting 18 but will look mighty fine on my interchange! Now, just stay away you lot lol
Cleve Hughes or Stephen Jurica would look good in a pocketoooh, there's a couple of legends still on the board that I can't fit into the starting 18 but will look mighty fine on my interchange! Now, just stay away you lot lol
Agree.I think i took Knighta too early.Just looking over all the teams, and I reckon I'd go in with a completely different strategy if we ever did this again. Missed the mark in a few places.
Cleve Hughes or Stephen Jurica would look good in a pocket
I had high hopes for him. He looked to have the talent. Just one of the few who had the talent but unfortunately were at a rabble of a club at the time.Cleve had quite a successful career back in Tas and perhaps he may have been better in the current environment - we will never know!

BIOGRAPHY
Hugh was a champion ruckman during Richmond’s formative years. He was a strongly-built man who was courageous , skillful and very fair .
He was a fine team man who partnered Bernie Herbert in what was a very formidable rucking combination . He was also a very adept palmer of the ball and never became flustered during a tense situation.
He seemed to have suffered a leg injury during 1912 season that healed but which he never fully recovered from.
He was a member of the 1920 and 1921 Premiership sides as well as the 1919 Grand Final team.
He won the Best & Fairest in 1921 and 1923 and represented Victoria six times. He was awarded Life Membership in 1915 and he served on the Committee in 1924. His highest individual goal tally was 5 against Essendon in Round 8 of 1920.
He served in the AIF between 1916and 1919 , where he attained the rank of Lieutenant . He was awarded the Gallantry Medal for bravery above and beyond the call of duty . This came about when he successfully repaired a bridge whilst under constant enemy fire. He later won a Bar to the Gallantry Medal , which meant it was the second time he had been commended for bravery in the battlefield. Whilst overseas, he formed a very close relationship with Dan Minogue , and this has often been touted as one of the reasons that Minogue transferred to Richmond., after returning from war service . Away from football , Hugh ran his own building business and later moved to New Zealand to live.
