12: Either Weller Lever Garlett Laverde or Durdin
33: either Lonie or Blakely
52: Gore
There is nothing we can do except laugh at our own stupidity and mediocrity
-
Yeah but life is special
Everybody love everybody pls
-
Time will tell. I hope you're wrong. But I think you're right :(
-
Imagine how happy people would have been if we had picked
Laverde
Lonie
Gore
as our first 3 picks or
Garlett
Lonie
Gore
or any of the combinations like that
Instead we have to be disappointed again.
-
in your opinion only!!! Give the young men a chance and back the club :thumbsup
-
Laverde is a bust

Everything is wonderful

It's in my opinion too. :thumbsup

Agree with this
BTW Ramps I not disappointed
I am actually excited knowing we've taken 5 kids!
When was the last time we took 5 kids, not a recycled bloke in sight
Will they all make it? Who knows but I look forward to seeing how they go
-
the only reason I started this thread is because invariably people will say who would you have picked. I did this so as to not hide behind supposed unfair criticism that I level at the club. In time we will all see howit pans out.

I think the last time we took 5 kids, only the number 1 draft choice was any good.
Stop being 'Mr Positive and I support all things Richmond' and have an opinion on these kids. :sleep
-
I would have gone leverde lever over Ellis but still think Ellis will be a solid player
Would have gone Wigg over menedue but also think menedue will become a player
The rest is up in the air - Drummond looks close to being physically ready and happy with mcKenzie

And we shall.
The anger and frustration is aimed at the track record of our star recruiter.

"Support all things Richmond"?
Give me a break. Have handed out some huge whacks to this club in 2014.
And I gave my opinions on these kids.
I don't know if they will make it. But guess what? I want them too
what I do know is they haven't run a time trial yet let alone kicked a football in anger and people are already writing them off.
I won't do that
I will support each of them and see what happens
-
Everyone wants them to. You are not special.
Now move past this and focus on the topic
-
I'm pretty pumped about our last pick
-
unfortunately i had a big day at work and missed the whole freakin thing.
have said constantlyi if we were to take a mid
12 laverde or de goey if there. if both gone one of 4 talls. durdin lever who ididnt think would slip, goddard and marchbank. only marchbank was gone. would have been happy with any one of the 5 still there. cstill think it prudent to take the quality tall if availble. so durdin would probably have been it.
we took ellis a player it seems we had locked in for ages . good luck to him and he has my support.
33 for me jackson nielson, connor blakely both still there. . i rate blakely a better inside player than corey ellis. tyler kietel was one i had in contention here and he didnt get drafted so what do i know.
with blakely available i would have thought he was the go. best inside mid in the draft imo. but ffs can we complain about menadue here . i dont think so there is some serious upside to him imo. he fits real needs like serious pace, great skills nice height 188cm and a frame that should be okay. dont see how anyone can complain about this pick. to top it off hes as skinny as they come but he doesnt flinch and wins a surprising amount of ball for himself.
52 well i would have taken kietel or oscar nmcdonald here. have often said we need both kpds and kpfs. it was a chance to address a real need.we took drummond im not sure hes a poor pick and probably worth taking here.
anyway have to rush out will say quickly i dont think the draft too bad apart from pick 12 who i dont rate. we did okay overall i think . glad we gave mckenzie a chance at the end we do need his type.

Might grow to 200cm
Historically very few 200cm kfp have been successful
-
People would have been happy if we took Sellar over Riewoldt on draft night. How about now?
-
i wanted seller. 8)
fat little tasmainia 3rd tall that playing against inbreds who only famous cuz of his cousin? pfft no thanks

i think most of here give the youngsters a chance. but most of us arent fool enough to back the club not with their record.
we all have players we wanyed. me there were players still there i wanted rather than those the club selected at every pick bar the last one. i think most are in this boat hence the angst of most id say.
it agin seems to me with all the talk going around that we were locked in at 12 and no matter who slipped we were taking ellis.
like many laverde was one i wanted de goey the other, i like weller a bit as well. but for me durdin lever and goddard were still there and i just couldnt go past durdin. i would have opted for the tall at 12 and hoped a good inside mid would slip to 33 which hppened in blakeley.
imo our first two picks should have gone
12 durdin/lever/ goddard/laverde
33 blakeley.
after this its open slather but there were a few we overlooked.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the ramps, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a rampster
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
unban ramps pls :-\

see you can learn if you concentrate. no excuses now you have done it once you can do it again. ::)
-
so are we not worried that mckenzie, possibly at the 200cm range depending on growing
will not make it seemingly based on historically there have very few 200cm kpfs that have been successful
whoops
-
club needs to give mckenzie a lead hat to ensure he doesnt grow to be 200cm+. if he does reach that height may as well trade or delist him.

relax everyone. None of you will know anything about these kids till they have their first run at the level. These young lads don't even know themselves if they will make the elite level until they have been tried, So give them support. They are all in the draft because they are good footballers. Many have failed before them & many more will fall but get behind the club & cut them some slack. Support the club for a change instead of bagging it out every year. :banghead It won't matter if your a #1 or a #50 pick. The number don't make or break you. It's your ability, skills, & footy smarts that make you elite & then you grow wiser.

Inside mid and an injection of speed ticked some boxes for me
Can't believe people buy the crap the media dish up on who they rate - I call BS

whoops
was collingwood worried cloke would grow or us whith or hawthorn with roughy riewoldt and on and on.
ffs primary school kids know that by 18 theres very little growth left for the vast majority of people.
by the way im still waiting for your list of top level kpfs. its sad when a bloke isnt big enough to admit hes wrong its called little idiot syndrome i think i say again put up or shut up.
its funny watching you you admit not seeing any of the kids play but are the most vocal when it comes to criticising them mate how any one can take you serious is beyond me.
it really is like dealing with a 12 yr old.

Agree very important to invest in youth. We have recruited pace which we badly needed and at least one inside mid which we also needed. Only time will tell if we made the right decisions. I hope for the club and the supporters these selections turn out to be inspired choices.
