Into the Draft

In to the Draft - Go behind-the-scenes in the lead-up to, and during, the 2014 National Draft, and view Richmond's recruiting process that led to the selection of Corey Ellis and all of the Tigers National Draft picks.
Richmond's newest batch of draftees got their first taste of senior football in the Yellow and Black last weekend.
For the Club’s recruiting team, it was the culmination of another 12 months of exhausting work scouring the country for the best available young talent to add to the Tigers' playing list.
In a Roar Vision first, the final jewel-in-the-crown of the Bingle Recruitment Zone, we take you behind-the-scenes in the lead-up to, and during, the 2014 National Draft.
With rare access to the recruiters' pre-draft meeting in Torquay, and at the draft table in November on the Gold Coast, this is a must-see for all Tiger fans.

Sensational footage, rare insight into these gurus at work, I racked my brain thinking who the other player was up against ellis, duggan obviously. Worth a look :clapping
-
Agree. Awesome work by all those at the footy club that provided this insight. Great engagement for the fans.
RFC kicking goals again. :thumbsup

I got to hand it to FJ for sticking his neck out considering he's failed time & time again especially after 1st round.
Those days of highlights videos plopped into FJ's old VHS are well and truly gone.
With all the millions poured into this department, all the latest tech and up to the minute stats it's good to see our money making them all feel relevent and special.
I'm not expecting much from anything after 1st round because history tells us that they are useless at this caper especially after the 1st round pick. (And I'm not even going to mention Sideshow Bob)
As uncle Ben once said, "with great power comes great responsibility."
-
great video concept but at no stage do we find out "this guy" is (only see Duggan on the screen)..... it'd be great to know who else they were pondering for pick x.
-
good PR but basically no use because they don't tell us anything but its Richmond doing its best PR work, get the supporters excited over nothing and pretend that your actually doing something lol.

Would of thought it was pretty obvious why they can't divulge names. Which unproven talent wants to be compared right from the start. Why show any sense of doubt in a player? I can imagine a huge component of selection would focus on the negative attributes of a player/individual.
Would you want them to come out say, "Ellis is really capable but maybe he doesn't have the mental capacity to adopt our game plan..." be realistic.
I really liked the insight. It's moving into NFL territory where stuff is being filmed constantly & from time to time you can release some pretty exciting stuff retrospectively.
Interesting that Hartley mentioned the 08 draft, Hartlett, Trengove & Broadbent... Be nice if we added that sought of talent to our list.

don't be a blithering idiot, we have plenty of 2/3 r selections on the fringes , coz they cant break into the side, the likes of Dea Batch astbury griff and so on would have played 100 games ea at many other clubs. are you gonna pick apart Haw recruiting coz the likes of O Halloran and woodward haven't played enough games in first three years :wallywink :banghead ...genius :clapping

You want me to compare our recruiting to Hawthorn's?
I think our recruiting has been ordinary and that includes some 1st round picks too.
FJ has too many misses and not enough wins.
But keep on believing BJ hopefully one day they'll get it right. :thumbsup

Apparently they walked out of 2008 very happy and we didn't get a single pick right except maybe for Cousins (IMO) :lol

Not sure if you're joking or not, but that was Hartley referring to Port's 2008 draft. Hartlett, Trengove, Broadbent.

Yep that was my bad not sure why but I thought it was FJ who said that :thumbsup

Thought it was great footage. Enjoyed seeing just how serious they take it and loved how excited they were getting when the big fella was going to slip through. Great vision, keep it coming.
-
Enjoyed it but sounds like they always knew who they wanted. It was always "Corey and the other guy" or something like that. Someone slipped a "Liam" at some point and I assume the comparison was Duggan.

the big fella couldn't even kick the goal against the bullies from 10 metres directly in front

Ordinary my eye, we've built a very good list under difficult circumstances with gc and gws dominatiing early picks when dimma took the reigns , we have a veritable warehouse of talent now , great recruiting :clapping

If it were very good as you say we wouldn't be 'middling' and we'd be starting to smash our way into the top 4 and beyond
-

One of the recruiters says "Liam" so they are referring to Duggan.
It seems Blair rated both Ellis and Duggan around the same mark (700) but FJ only rated Duggan at 625 and favoured Ellis as having more elite traits. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter as Duggan was gone already by our pick so we didn't have to choose between the two. It is also seemed from the clip that we were happy Geelong went for Cockatoo.
Interesting to know, the two players Blair rated below both Ellis and Duggan? I'm guessing one might be Weller (?).
Menadue seems to have been pushed heavily by Blair. Convinced Dimma that Menadue would become a star but it would take at least 3 years.

What's beyond the Top 4?

Wouldn't know. It's been that long since we've been there we have to rely on elders tales and cave paintings

Do you really think that is going to define his whole career? Seriously?

Ok Ramps. However, there is nothing wrong with a bit of hope that new blood brings. Is there?

they were over the moon in 05 even promoted fj to a full time position on the back of it. come on down jon hughsy and casserly.
ah bj and others so so good at defending mediocrity.
you know wallace got 5 yrs copped all sorts of critiques, hardwick has had 5 yrs and achieved very little and is copping critiques.
the man most responsible for their plights is francis jackson.
10 whole yrs. yet to win a final. chronic shortages in the list still, with 7th the best we have done. this is what jackson has delivered to us it isnt good enough.

Yep, his record is what it is. It should also be noted that in FJ's time 4 new clubs have been added to the AFL, 2 of them in the last 3 years. The leagues expansion has taken the top end off the draft nearly every other year. Then throw in some quality tanking from several clubs & its no wonder it has been hard to nail an early pick for the last decade. Don't bother regurgitating & rehashing the misses again, instead look at the list of players who were off limits to us during that ten year period, then have a look at some of the Melbourne & Carlton pick 1's. When he had some top picks FJ has snared us players like Dusty & Lids ... not too bad! If we had tanked as hard as some other clubs have imagine the list of the players FJ could've assembled, his name would be up in lights by now! Why not spend some time compiling that list of players we couldn't draft instead of spending time constantly moaning about the ones we did?

You are responding to an incorrect post claw. Blair made the comment at the end of the video. He was at Port in 2008, not Richmond! :wallywink
