Shows that we lack real quality youth.

We need to get back into the early rounds.

Not really..we have 6 or 7 in the 18-20 range, so jury is out on them.

Sure but how many standout to you as true A Grade potential?

Gibcus, yes, then there a few maybes.

We have burnt first rounders on Dow, RCD etc.

Doesn’t bode well for having quality young stocks.

perhaps Brown as well, :shh but he deserves a chance like the others have.

FMD if he turns out to be a dud that 2021 will be pretty bad. Gibcus who knows how he will turn out, though has potential.

Will Richmond's lack of young talent doom their future?

The debate [between Cornes and King] gets HEATED on Fireball Friday.

Our young talent isn’t consistently on show enough to be considered on these naff teams

Balta and Bolton were both in the 22 previously. They're 23 and 24 currently, still lots of footy left in them.

Seen enough to be feeling positive about Judson, maybe Coulthard also. Possibly Bauer.

Young I think is a good player for what we paid for him and I'm hoping he goes to another level as he gets older like Broad has. Gibcus too if his body gets better.

Still a big issue though in no other mids or forwards to get overly excited about but if we're looking at the 7-8 years into the future range I think we have some talent with:
Balta
Bolton
Clarke
Baker
Banks
Miller
MRJ
Ross
Ryan
Young
