I am actually going to agree with you on those 2.. Still think Gibbs will be a superstar though

How you can label 3 kids as duds who have not played more than 100 games between them is amazing. Hawkins will be good when injury free, Gibbs allready is a star and Luenberger is an up and coming young ruckmen and you need to realise you cant expect kids to come into the Competition and dominate in the first 50 games of there career. You labeling the 3 of them as Duds is delusional and Moronic.
I did think Ben Holland was going to be better than he turned out (admittedly, not a total dud). Probably lost it when he did his knee and his pace went from 'Slow' to 'Dead'. Good hands, though.
I wasn't alone - we could have traded him straight up for Kane Johnson, but Richmond declined. He signed a fat contract, did the knee, and we had to trade Pick 2 a year later to get Johnson.

Bowen Lockwood, this guy had some talent but a ****ed up back, apparently he cant really sit for long periods still

Yeah good Geelong College boy, read an article about him in the past 12 months, almost crippled from back problems at a very young age. Poor fella.
Yeah, i saw an interview with him about a year back. It's pretty sad really, His back is totally ****ed. He would have been a gun in my opinion.

I am not going to argue with trolls on the main board. Go to the Bay.

and please explain how Gibbs is already a star?
Tambling is not a dud.
Gibbs is not yet a star but he is already a very good player. You have labelled him as a player that "ended up being a dud", which is quite moronic.
Cupido by the length of the straight.
Never forget this goose trash talking Crawford on Friday night match when the Hawks were at their lowest and he had been at The Bombers for about 2mins. He'd got a couple of goals in junk time and the Bombers were up by about ten.
Karma is a bitch.

How can you write off players of that size so early?
People were calling Roughead a dud in his third year, and now is considered an elite forward.
The guys from the 2006 draft have only played 2 years, many of the forwards have had key injuries as well. All of Gumbleton, Leunberger, Hawkins, Thorp, Hansen are all very very good prospects, but bigfooty don't seem to have to patience to wait the 3-5 years big key players take to develop.
Ryan Murphy is one of the mosted gifted forwards in the game. He kicked 51 goals in his first WAFL season and looked great whenever he had a shot at the top but just doesn't have the intensity or work rate required to be a consistent AFL performer

It was actually Pick 4 Richmond Traded, it just eventually became pick 2, but no one knew it was going to become pick 2, so you didn't trade pick 2.
Further that was a crap draft, so I wouldn't worry about it.
