Rumour Draft Rumours 2024

[Gee Class Loco]

rumour - Richmond like Lachie Jaques - intercept defender, nice kick from Geelong Falcons in the mid 20's

Have they given up on Tom Brown already?? Very similar types IMO.

i dont watch a lot of Richmond, but i wasnt the biggest fan of how early Tom Brown went in his draft year, is he performing well enough to not have competition?

Not sure... saw him a few times. Thought he was doing ok for a young fella.
Albeit the team was getting whacked.

I thought he looked like he was coming along nicely. Maybe one of not many from that era.

Nah they'll (Port) be getting Brad Close in a trade we have brewing for next year i reckon.

Teams need more than one small forward. Port currently have zero AFL-class small forwards.

And yes I know you were just stirring that Butters is in line for a job as Chief of Leadership at Cotton On or some bullshit rort.

Brown will be fine. Very talented, which he's shown in glimpses. Shoulder issues and lack of a tank held him back early. And he was still growing. He should fill out nicely to a 188-190cm strapping fella.

We also have Trezise and Kaleb Smith as promising half-backs. Trezise and Brown the interceptor types and Smith more the running small. I don't see a huge need for Jacques, particularly given his lack of height for the role.

What has happened to Kaleb? I placed him in the top 10 in the WA list here on BF in his draft year but haven't heard much of him since, not they I get an opportunity to watch all AFL games as WAFL takes up my time.

I thought he had tremendous pace and line breaking evasive skills. I hope he makes it.

Yze made his parents skip a 50th birthday party flew them to Geelong on a freezing rainy night to watch him scratch his nuts on the pine for 2.5 hours

He missed pretty much all of 2023 with a foot injury. Had a fantastic VFL season this year and got a few AFL games, even if some supporters had a cry about him sitting on the bench on debut like about 1000 players before him. He's quick, competitive, wins contests, breaks a line, kicks well. I really rate him.

Willie Rioli?

Yes, Rioli, sorry. One. You need two more.
