The verdict: We rate your club's draft haulAFL.com.au
25 November 2017RICHMONDSelections before academy and father/son bidding: 17, 20, 25, 53, 55
Selections after bidding: 17, 20, 25, 34, 63
Who they picked: Jack Higgins, Callum Coleman-Jones, Noah Balta, Patrick Naish
Verdict: Richmond already has a fleet of small forwards, but it was too hard to go past Jack Higgins at pick 17. The Oakleigh Chargers jet will likely overtake a couple of those options, such is his forward craft and goal smarts. He's a steal for the Tigers.
With three of their next four selections the Tigers addressed some needs by adding talls – ruckman Callum Coleman-Jones and key defenders Noah Balta and Ben Miller.
Balta was a hard one to read but his athleticism will appeal, while Miller impressed at the Combine.
The Tigers went into the night hoping a bid wouldn't come on father-son Patrick Naish until after their first three picks, and that's how it played out, after they matched St Kilda's bid at No.34.
That was a brilliant result for the premiers, and perhaps the final icing on their stunning 2017.
