VFL R1: Richmond vs Williamstown --- Sun. Apr 10 @ Burbank Oval

It actually shows how pointless it is use the term 1st, 2nd etc rounder.

there is a big difference between 26 and 6, but using these terms make them sound similar.

I know it suits the emos to do this, but in most years pick 26 would be a 2nd rounder, often not even an early one, but lets get pedantic and argue that in this particular year it is a first rounder so that the pick is somehow more valuable than in a year the same pick is a mid second rounder.



Picks over 20 go at a success rate of about 30% regardless of at what pick the first team gets their second selection

 

[Yeahright]

Todd Elton
Eight disposals, five contested possessions

Played as a key-back, he showed signs of getting back to his strengths in going for his marks, but he’s still learning the craft and we’re looking for improvement every week in what he’s doing.

Is this a polite way of saying Elton Struggled!...? 
Poor kid actually could mark a footy until he landed at punt road.
I wonder if Craig thinks he's a complete dud and just has to be nice in his player assessments.
It doesn't matter though, we will probably keep him for another 5 years anyway just so FJ doesn't look like he wasted another round 1 pick.

2nd round pick. But whatever the sky is falling

I checked, it's definitely listed as a first round pick.

Don't care what they say, pick 26 should not be classed as a 1st rounder
