Richardson said on Richmond’s official podcast ‘Talking Tigers’.
* First-round picks are the future of any football club. People talk about Hawthorn, over the last few years, topping up with talent from other clubs. But they’d built that list through the draft, through gaining picks. That’s the future of your club.
* I know it’s hard for people out there to see that, when at this point in time it only seems like a pick and there’s not a player attached to it. But then, in a year or two’s time, when you attach a player to that pick, you realise how important they are. They’re crucial. You won’t get them all right, but we think, certainly in the last few years, our track record of picking the right players has been pretty solid.
Richardson explained Richmond’s philosophy going into the 2015 National Draft . . .
* You tend to pick best player when it comes to an early pick, a first round pick. But, having said that, there are a couple of small forwards around that range that might come into consideration.
* We feel probably that the first 15 picks, there’s a pretty good level of talent there. After that, there are still some good players around, but maybe not quite as much depth as last year’s draft, where we picked up five players. That’s why it was really important to hold on to pick 12. We’re confident that we’ll get a good player at pick 12.

I'm confident that we can pick up a good player at 12 too.
My question is if we get to 12 or 15, whatever it is.... and the sml forwards we're interested in aren't available do we go after another inside mid?

If it's a small forward Dan wants then expect Ah Chee to be selected. He's the only one who will go at around our pick.

Ah Chee, not to be sneezed at🐅

Ah chee could be the next Cyril.
Who goes out of the team for him though ? Starting to develop some really good depth.
Lennon. Lambert. C Ellis. Conca. B ellis. Pick 12. Drummond. Menadue. Moore. Townsend. Grigg. Any other players really fighting for a spot next year ?

Ah Chee's here....Betty's here, Veronica too.....
