The RFC website is doing a countdown of our all-time top 10 Tiger draftees.
Read full article here: http://www.richmondfc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/6301/newsid/151016/default.aspx
As a bit of off-season fun, any OERites like to take a stab at their all-time top 10?
-
If Tambling and Meyer aren't in it I will rage. :banghead
-
So this list will basically be our best 10 players since 86 or so? May have a stab later on

Yep the best 10 since the first draft in 1986.
-
I wonder if it is all drafts or just the National Draft. Foley was a rookie and Grimes came to us via PSD. Both better than the likes of Fiona and Tambo.
-
Mine.
nb. I only included Tigers picked up only with picks in the National draft and having never played an AFL game before we drafted them and who played all their AFL games with Richmond.
1. Wayne Campbell (pick 29, 1989) ...... 297 games, captain, All-Australian, 4 B&Fs
2. Trent Cotchin (pick 2, 2007) .......... 86* games, soon to be the new captain, All-Australian, 2 B&Fs with still most of his footy career ahead of him at just 22 y.o.
3. Brett Deledio (pick 1, 2004) ............ 172* games, All-Australian, 2 B&Fs, Rising star 2005 in debut year, and only half-way through his footy career.
4. Chris Newman (pick 55, 2000) ........ 214* games, captain
5. Brendon Gale (pick 27, 1987) .......... 244 games, off-field star as CEO
6. Jack Riewoldt (pick 13, 2006) ........... 112* games, Dual Coleman medallist, All-Australian, 1 B&F, 3 times club leading goalkicker. Still only 24 y.o.
7. Andrew Kellaway (pick 71, 1997) ..... 172 games, All-Australian, 1 B&F. Not bad for a guy selected at pick 71 and off our then supplementary list.
8. Matthew Rogers (pick 37, 1992) ...... 197 games. Club leading goalkicker 2000. A smart underrated footballer.
9. Nick Daffy (pick 49, 1990) ................ 165 games. 1 B&F, Club leading goalkicker 1995.
10. Shane Tuck (pick 73, 2003) .............. 162* games. Like Kellaway a very late pick who has become a life club member.

No.10: Matthew Rogers
The countdown of the top 10 Tiger draftees of all time starts today at richmondfc.com.au with No. 10 - versatile, valuable Matthew Rogers.
Matthew Rogers, a talented utility player from SANFL club South Adelaide, was Richmond’s fourth pick (No. 37 overall) in the 1992 National Draft.

no Richo or Bowden????

Am guessing MT didn't include father sons

Ottens :P

Otto only had one good year at Richmond in 2001 so I didn't include him. Played his best footy at Geelong picking up a couple of flags along the way.

As Coach rightly called, I didn't include either Richo nor Joel Bowden as they were Father-Sons in the days when Father-Sons were automatically recruited by the club their dad played out. They weren't then picked up in the National draft with any designated pick unlike nowdays.
-

Criteria on the RFC site is they are not including F/S selections
We haven’t included those players taken by the Tigers under the league’s father-son ruling, or in the now-defunct mid-season draft, still-functional pre-season or rookie draft.

Fair enough MT. Still think he's one of the best we ever took in the draft. A travesty that we couldn't develop his talent as a Tiger.

Ever since that day he decided to play human quoits with a garden stake he was never the same.

No.9: Nick Daffy
Nick Daffy was recruited by Richmond from North Gambier, where, as a 16-year-old, he’d won the Western Border League’s Rookie of the Year award.
The Tigers had claimed him with their fourth selection in the 1990 National Draft, and they subsequently nursed him through his first few seasons of league football.
Daffy played a few games with Richmond’s under 19s, in the final year of that competition, in 1991, and then made his senior league debut early the next season.

No. 8: Shane Tuck
When it comes to assessing Shane Tuck’s league career at Richmond, the numbers say it all . . . seven top-10 finishes in the Jack Dyer Medal, in eight full seasons, with five of those top-five placings, and a career disposals average of 23.8 per game, which is the highest of any current-day Tiger player.
Impressive figures for any player at the game’s highest level, let alone someone, who was a mature-age selection at pick 73 overall in the National Draft.

Pick 73 wow amazing get so deep in the draft been Mr Consistant and just puts his head down and works his backside off no matter if it is Coburg or Seniors should of been in the leadership group long before Rewoldt . Lacks class but has a huge heart and work ethic long live Tucky
-
Matty Rogers , great player
As an aside , jamie Tape ,poor bugger its nearly 10 years since he passed, loved him RIP
-
Tucky's a champ. Getting better with age, and still underrated. What he lacks in class, he more than makes up for in other areas.
Will be top 5 JD when he's 35.

Glad to see they have given due recognition to Tuck

No.7: Andrew Kellaway
Andrew Kellaway actually started his career at Richmond on the now-defunct supplementary list, and he was a member of the Club’s last reserve-grade premiership side in 1997.
At the end of that year the younger brother of valuable Tiger defender, Duncan Kellaway, was chosen by the Tigers at pick 71 overall in the National Draft.
He made his senior league debut the following season, but it wasn’t until 2000 that Kellaway became an integral part of the Richmond line-up.

No.6: Chris Newman
Chris Newman has provided Richmond with excellent service since being chosen by the Club at a bargain-basement pick 55 in the 2000 National Draft.

No.5 Brendon Gale
Brendon Gale was Richmond’s third selection (No. 27 overall) in the second-ever AFL National Draft, which was held in 1987.
He was recruited from Tasmania, where his father, Don Gale, had been a champion footballer throughout the 1950s and early 1960s.
Several decades before then, Don’s father (Brendon’s grandfather) Jack Gale had played senior football for Richmond (in 1924).

No.4: Jack Riewoldt
Tasmania has long been a breeding ground for star Richmond key forwards . . .
First there was Royce Hart, then Michael Roach, followed by Matthew Richardson and, now, it’s Jack Riewoldt’s turn to thrill the Tiger Army with his dazzling exploits up forward.
From Clarence, the same Tassie club that the great Royce Hart was recruited from, Riewoldt has already achieved plenty in just five full seasons of AFL football, after being snapped up by the Tigers at pick 13 in the 2006 National Draft.

No.3: Trent Cotchin
It’s fair to assume that had this list of the top 10 Tiger draftees of all time been compiled two or three years down the track, then Trent Cotchin would likely have been ranked No. 1 by our panel of experts.

I presume Lids will be Top 2 so that makes it 5 current day players. Doesn't speak volumes for our 25 years of drafting.
-
Yep Lids is No.2.
---------------------------------------------------------------
No.2: Brett Deledio
We continue the countdown of the top 10 Tiger draftees of all time with the player ranked No. 2 by our panel of experts - dual Jack Dyer Medallist, Brett Deledio.
Consistency, durability and versatility have been the hallmarks of Brett Deledio’s eight-year career at Richmond.
Deledio was Richmond’s reward for finishing last in season 2004. The then 17-year-old, from Victorian country town Kyabram, was taken by the Tigers with the prized No. 1 pick in the ’04 National Draft.

not hard to be a top 10 pick at richmond there have been so few top notch players go thru our system.
was going to have a go but got depressed looking at so many duds.
without a doubt we have to be the worst performed drafting club in the history of the draft.
you want see why we have played finals just twice in the draft era last 26 yrs just look at that top 10 list of mt's. apart from 3 or 4 nothing but foot soldiers who somehow managed to carve out reasonable careers.

No.1: Wayne Campbell
Wayne Campbell maintained an impressively high level of consistency throughout his 15-season, 297-game league football career at Richmond.
Campbell was a big, bargain-basement buy for the Tigers, who secured his services at pick 29 overall in the fourth National Draft, held back in 1989.

Thanks JVT :cheers.
Mind you as Claw rightly says our drafting over the past 26 years until more recently had been very poor. So it was actually hard to find 10 names to tell you the truth :-\. No.11 would probably have been Mark Chaffey. Hopefully when we revisit this question in 10 years time we'll be fighting and arguing over who should be in the top 10 because all of them are/were superstars of the game and multiple-premiership players with us :pray.
