It is not clear Richmond fans would obvious want Richmond players to be make it and be good?   


If you want him to make it and be good why start a thread called "Welcome to Richmond Mr 49%"?

That's bagging not hoping he makes it

Then bag the club, Frank, Blair whoever you want not kid.

You've belittled the kid by calling him "Mr 49%".

He deserves better than that - a lot better

just looked at his supposedly best highlights video ... good luck to the young man, its not his fault we picked him. wish him all the best I would have picked at least 6 players who were picked directly after him If I had the chance.

I think the Judge was using the title not to bag the kid, but to point out the recruiters are once again not following their own public statements re foot skills.

stuff me, I can't believe the constant bagging of these recruits. Ffs, get on board and support them, at least let them have one game before you start.

Would have preferred leverde and lever before him imho but should be in our round 1 side improving us immediately. Does have a great awareness inside, will be a good tandem with Miles and give Cotch a much needed chop out. Good luck Corey

Deliberate or not, he has bagged the kid by calling him Mr 49%, he dragged the kid into it and he deserve our support not belittling

Pretty much where I sit, TM. Specialist inside mid and extractor, I'm ok with this as a targeted selection for need if it improves our outside game and frees up our bluechip players.

Meanwhile, in the shadow of your passing, your critics will again clap off the players off the ground in 2015 when they put in another effort like the Hafey tribute game against Melbourne.

Well done to Corey Ellis getting drafted as our first round pick. He looks a good solid kick and once he gets used to the pace of the game he should be able to hone that skill even further.

I agree with the comments that some of the posts on this thread have been appalling namely one Mr Bentleigh Biscuit and another Mr Rampaging Tiger. Pull your heads in. The decision has been made, this guy is playing for Richmond, he needs to be good, and he damn well will be!
