If you read that list, then Greg Beck gets a few more kudo's.  Couldn't pick a top yen draft pick to save himself, but got a fair few late ones right.  Funny that.

I wouldn't call Nick Daffy a "gem"

Bulluss, Newman & Andy Kellaway as post selection 50 picks YES = good picks

Rogers was a gem at 37

But Daffy  :nope

I asked Emma Quayle on Twitter if we could take 2 ND picks and 1 PSD pick.  No response from Emma yet.

I think the only way that would make sense is;
- The player didn't nominate for the ND, but only the PSD.
- The player was rated higher than anyone still available at 55.
- We were certain that player would still be around at our turn in the PSD.
- We were allowed to only have 2 ND picks.

I reckon its a series of long shots and we'd be likely to take three picks in the ND.

Rogers was a decent player but probably about what you would expect for #37.  Daffy's stats say he was a "gem" but I (like many other Tiger supporters) just couldn't stand his style of football so a gem he is not (iohoa).  Bullus was............................well, Bullus.

I'm not sure there are too many "gems" in that list. Probably a reflection of Richmond's performance over the past 20 years that guys like Bullus, Hall, Hyde, Charles, Merenda, etc... were considered to be good selections. None of them played more than 100 games.

Richmond will have three picks in next week’s AFL’s National Draft in Sydney, following yesterday’s second list lodgement.

The Tigers will enter the draft on November 24 with selections 15 (first round), 26 (second) and 55 (third).

The Club obviously has a loose definition of what "gems" are  ;D.

Newy and Rogers were clearly two. Daffy had a great 1995 on a HFF but overrated as a midfielder with his blind kicks out of the centre straight to the opposition. The rest were battlers who as AT said summed up why we struggled.

But Daffy  :nope


Daffy 150 games, leading goal kicker and a B&F.

I'd happily take that every year from a pick 49, WP.

Paul Bulless was 3 picks later than Daffy..

Merenda was a good player, injuries killed him.

Chaffey was serviceable as well. Gem is pushing it, but he is underrated by most.

Post by: Darth Tiger on November 17, 2011, 11:54:12 PM
Surely Tuck is considered a chance given he was picked 73 or something ?

140 games and 5 times in the top 5 of the B&F is a very solid club performer.

Not a star but has more sparkle that a Tony Greenburg gem.

Anyone recall what pick he was?

Post by: eliminator on November 18, 2011, 06:58:50 AM
Rogers was an outstanding pick. He was a clever player. He could play both ends of the ground. He was one of the better SA players that we have recruited. Merenda certainly was a good pick. His career was cut short by injuries. He was a very dangerous player on his day eg that game against the bulldogs where he single handedly won the game off his boot. I respected Bullus. He could take a contested mark which stood out against the other centre half backs we had at the time and always put in his best. It is no coincidence that Richmond's rise to the finals in 1995 coincided with the recruitment of Bullus, Rogers and Merenda in early 90s(I think off the top of may head 1993). The only reason we bombed in 1996 was because of the idiotic decision to recruit Walls

Daffy had one good year...

Was a terrible mid-fielder, who turned the ball over more some of those we are critical of today

Yes he always had plenty of kicks but it was what he didn with them that was the problem.

One of the best trades we ever did was shipping him off to Sydeny for Staffy  ;D

Each to their own but ot me he was a DUD  ;D

I reckon he was drafted in the late 90s about pick 40ish. Didne he do his knee in 2001 against the Roos at Etihad?

I reckon he was rocked after being de-listed by us

What a load of garbage. Duds don't win B&Fs, lead a club in goal kicking or get plenty of Brownlow votes. One good year? garbage! Which year do you think that was? 1995? I guess you thought he was a dud for the next few season as well.  :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin

Daffy a dud  :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin

He was no superstar but he wasn't a dud  :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin
