I would like to know why we can't draft 1 decent indigenous player yet me must watch Carlscum flourish with the likes of Betts, Yarran, Gartlett & I think Walker. Hawthorn with Franklin & Rioli (why isn't he playing with us?)
Other clubs seem to be able to pick, develope & keep great indigenous players but we always seem to have trouble in this area despite having the new indigenous center right in our building.
I want answers & I want to know what the club is doing about it.

Rioli was pick 12 in 2007. I'm happy with Cotchin who was our pick prior to Rioli.

Hawthorns 1st indigenous recruit was Chance Bateman (I think).
It changes pretty quickly and can be attributed to luck as much as anything.

its a reasonable question tigra but also ridiculous, it has no more or less relevance than why havent we got more players of european descent on our list or even asian. Ive got a good idea, hold the prejudice and simply go after BEST available talent...now thats novel :shh

So are you saying this homework and support structure made Cyril and Buddy the players they are today?

If so, why did Carl Peterson get de-listed?

So Buddy doesn't make it at Richmond because we don't have private investigators?

look I know that you should pick the best available but it may include an indigenous players but what it looks like to me is that we have trouble in two areas when it comes to this issue. We can't develop properly and we don't have the right support network as to keep them happy so they want to stay and flourish. I don't see the same issues at Essendon, Sydney, carlscum, hawthorn & collingwood.
If u want to be a great club I think it's important to be the best in all aspects.
And let's face it the indigenous boys are exciting when they are at their peek it's exciting for footy the club  & exciting for the footy public. It's what brings people thru the gates. I would love see it at Richmond.

it an interesting question, do we have a problem in managing the indigineous players we draft or are we simply drafting players that aren't cut out to make it at an elite level...Id suggest the latter considering just how far these lads have to come to become professional footballers. Im not sure we need to diver resources to address this other than continue to focus on best talent, if they are indigineous then so be it , if not then so be it also :thumbsup

True BJ. Not sure how much more we could have done to get the likes of RT and TT to play good footy.

Generally our picks are later in the draft too which adds to the chances of them not making it. Most that make it are picked up quite high because they arnt at greater risk of leaving.
