Title: Rookie Draft - Richmond 2nd pick.
Post by: Captain__Blood on December 23, 2005, 05:08:39 PM: I wish we picked up Thomas Redden :-\

Would have capped off a very good drafting period consitering our picks.

Ah well, best of luck of to Jeremy Humm.

Just on our picks, it was interesting Miller said in the FTB that we would've used our last pick in the draft (pick 67) on Kristen Thorton if he was still around but the Swans picked him up at 54 and so we passed and used our PSD pick instead on White.

Hard as nails, 190cm+, versatile prospect wasn't 'what we need' at the 2nd pick of the rookie draft ???

Humm was a much better value... :P

Adelaide did very well.
