Fiora or JON would be our Kwame Brown.

Fiora will always be the judgement error in RFC drafting history.

One word, a KPP forward that has 5 AA's, 3 B&F's, 4 Leading Goalkicking awards, not to mention the twin forward potential with Richo - all before he was 26.

Pavlich.
Yep we mistakenly went for "need" over best available. The criticism of Richmond at that time was we played on passion but not with much skill or run. Having Ottens and Richo on our list we must have thought we were okay for tall forwards and went for a "skillful" mid who turned out to be just another flanker. It was an odd draft. Plenty of failures in the first round but also some really good players too. Geelong killed that draft getting Corey (pick 8), Chapman and Enright who we all bypassed as well  :P.
