I reckon we were after Lycett but didn't get him.

Most clubs are in the same situation as us bar Gold Coast.

Sure its a risk but I am not too unhappy with the type of players they went after.

Yeah went one pick before Batchelor.

I hope FJ knows what he's doing
Not going to bag his picks as we went through the same thing last year, but a very left field bunch of players have been taken

Apart from Conca the other picks were not mentioned on any phantom drafts. l think FJ has been very bold but very risky. 8)
2 years into a 35 year plan

this time last year I was happy with Taylor, griffiths. This time around worried we leaked our selections. Might have overlooked a great kid in favor at pick #6. the rest of the dudes we got
got I have no idea about but they have funny named. Welcome to Richmond to them.

I hope the list has the core already in place and this lot of kids is filling in the gaps

Lets hope Jackson hasn't just murdered Hardwick as a coach.

From the live chat on the tracker

 'Paul Daffey: Dean McDonald to Richmond at 51. Unconventional Tigers throughout this draft."

I have no idea what to make of it, just throwing it out there.

 


i think he meant they're all good kicks.

most of them were mentioned in inside football in the draft extras section after the main group of kids.

The coaches, the recruiting staff, Conca and his parents are all out having dinner together right now.

I hope FJ knows what he's doing

If he wanted Conca so badly, he should've traded for a pick 15 or so, as it seems he may not have gone off til then.

Agreed, fair chance we could have traded Pick 6 for 10 & 18 or something like that.

Wallace just said on SEN we confused him with our picks so some might say that's a positive  :D
