Richmond Rant / Re: Pick 31: Zane Peucker

​​Heard through the grapevine that Richmond had Peucker a top 20 prospect. Probably why Rhy Gieschan was so confident we’d “get our player”

Some of the dumbest batting you’ll see. Just these last 2 wickets of starc and Carey boggles the mind.

England: 'This is how to throw away your wicket.'

Aussies: "Hold our beers!"


Yesterday, was some of the softest batting you'll see at Test level by both sides, but the Aussies were far worse. When you have Labuschagne as an opener and 39 y.o. Khawaja as your No.4 then you get what you deserve.

All spuds

It’s a bit early to make that call on the 2025 class, Hipwood is not a spud either, unlikeable but not a spud.

A lot of people upset in tigers land but I don't mind it.


NHH
Oudshoorn-Bennier
Tom McGuane
Tom Burton
Rory Wright

Etc. can be invited to train for the last spot.

Harsh and not very romantic to kellaway but ruthless and bold by the club.

Like others have said he is objectively not good enough at this stage unfortunately. Proven by being passed on by the league in two drafts.

I know that Tom Burton has been invited to train with us.

who else?

Also bear in mind we traded back into the draft to get NRT. I’m assuming that move was decided late on the night when the team saw him sliding further than what they expected. It’s possible that if that hadn’t happened with an extra spot on our list, they would have indeed rookied Louie.

I’m fairly certain as Geischan stated many times they had various convos with the kellaway fam throughout the year and were open and honest with them with their intentions. Probably something along the lines of we like you as a player and would like to select you however we can’t garauntee that as we are right for list spots so we’ll just have to see on the day.

I’m sure the boy and fam are disappointed but hopefully he puts his head down and gets onto a list whether that’s with us or elsewhere.

The traditionalist in me would have liked to seen us pick him, but I don’t think you can fault the club for passing if they have other players they rate ahead of him.

Doesn’t stop any other club bidding on him

If we didn’t nominate him, it’s clear as day he wouldn’t have got drafted

No other team was interested

If his last name was Ming it wouldn’t even be a discussion

I watched a bit of him and thought he was worth a late spot on our list, but it’s not our call
.i thought he showed more than some that we kept on the current list.
 .
It would appear he wasn’t earmarked full stop as there was no one who they though was a better player in the rookie draft or the would have picked them but they have chosen to look and see if someone steps up somewhere .

I don’t think they should have listed Kellaway as a father son pick if they had no intention of picking him, I guess players can also opt out of being nominated as a father son to give themselves more chance of being picked.

I know it’s just a highlights video which will look good for any player, but this kid looks a good prospect. Quick as, good endurance, led the sanfl u18 for clearances, has scoreboard impact. Could be a shrewd pickup.
