How did we rate how Richmond went in the draft?

[one-eyed]

How did we all rate how Richmond went in the draft tonight?


15. Brandon Ellis  (defender)                03/08/1993      181cm     83kg    Calder Cannons/West Coburg

26. Todd Elton     (ruckman/forward)   29/04/1993      197cm     92kg    Dandenong Stingrays/Somerville

55. Matthew Arnot  (midfielder)            21/10/1993      180cm     87kg    Oakleigh Chargers/Vermont

2 units and a skilled tall

[10 FLAGS]

I gave it a 6/10. I think getting Elton was a good move in particular. If Ellis can go to half back and Deledio can head towards the middle then that could work out ok. If Arnot can kick, he seems to love the contest he could turn out ok.

[Dubstep Dookie]

Happy with Elton.

Concerned about the other two relative to their pick. Hoping they are bloody good kicks and have class.

[Loui Tufga]

Happy with the first two picks but thought we could have gone taller with #55.
Arnot looks a unit though and if he can force his way into the side and knock out a Edwards, White, Jackson or even a Foley (Based on his form ast season) then it's a win for us....

[WA Tiger]

I wanted a defender, have done all year, as we lack depth in the backline IMO........

We got one.....

[Owl]

Very astute and flexible picks I thought.

[WilliamPowell]

Really happy with pick 26 Elton

Thought we went for the best available at 15 so that's a tick

Don't know much about Arnot but will have to trust the recruiting staff on that one

Overall happy
But 2-3 years down the track is when we will know for sure 

[Penelope]

three blokes who are hard at the ball, have good skills and decision making, are strong marks and solid, driven characters.

I like the theme, lets hope they actually turn out good enough.

Very Good 8

[gerkin greg]

Throw in another hard nut defender Steve Morris and we've really injected some hot beef this off season 

[tony_montana]

pretty sure hes more of a long term midfielder. Bit short to play backline on mediums fwds and not explosive enough to play on the smalls like rioli with a 20sec sprint time of 3.05, reckon best bet is in midfield.

Elton sounds good but then Goo sounds like an athletic god and cant play for poo.

Arnott, hard at it, unit aggressive and can kick - struggling to see why he slipped so far. Anyone know what his weaknesses are?

[Ox]

We got 15,26 and 55.
That's how i rate it.
Was anyone surprised by these picks,or were they pretty much expected?

All along I had Crumpet in at my 26, but my personal 15 preferences were gone (...Adams and Docherty ) so I'm still happy to pick the guy up. Would love a team of hard nuts. Didn't know Biscuit from a bar of soap before he was called. Since looking him up I'm stoked as. I reckon as long as he picks up the skills he is going to be a deadly inside juggernaut. Happy to have another big tall and an option other than Miller (since he's not long term) and Griffiths (don't even know if he is going to deliver yet). Another pinch hitter is always handy now with the 21 + sub. Might take a bit of pressure off Ty. I already prefer these guys on blokes like White and Webberly. With the addition of Morris, Maric and hopefully McCarthy, I feel like we've made real steps towards bolstering the bottom of our list. So I gave this draft an 8 

[gerkin greg]

man agree with everything there dwaine

Heslin also a hard nut
