Think Tank Is your club ready to get reamed by Richmond at the draft?

I'm not worried about the pies. We look like a top 4 lock after that masterclass trade period.

I guess after last years trade period anything would look like a masterclass to your mob

Lachie is primed to go big next year, underestimate him at your own peril.

We won't make that mistake again, already badly underesntimated him when he was at Fremantle.

We thought has was worth a pick in the 50's. Turns out he was worth pick 32 and pick 10.

It takes time and patience to de-freo/Longmanure a player. First year teething issues were always on the cards. Has to get used to big crowds at the G too, please understand.

Considering they will be so shit that the young players will probably get a lot of games, what is a pass mark in terms of Rising Star nominations?

Given there is 23 rounds, they have 8 in the top 24 picks and the players will have more chance to get exposure at AFL level I would say every single one should get a nomination if Richmond pick these players correctly.

What does every one else think?

Check how many Rising Star nominations the following 29 players got in their first years on the list to see if we GAF.

Edwards J Riewoldt Houli Grigg
Cotchin Rance
Martin Astbury Grimes
Lynch Prestia Caddy
B Ellis Townsend
Vlastuin Nankervis McIntosh
Butler Short Castagna Lambert Soldo
D Rioli Broad
Bolton Graham
Balta Baker
Pickett

a) I don't care
b) They weren't walking into a side that won the wooden spoon then lost half their best players. This is different because these guys are going to make up a significant portion of your list.

Fear of what exactly?

So you do care. You said you don't care. I am confused.

I don't care how many rising stars those players you listed get. I care about laughing at your next draft bunch though.
