All-time top 10 Tiger draftees?

[Mr Magic]

Otto only had one good year at Richmond in 2001 so I didn't include him. Played his best footy at Geelong picking up a couple of flags along the way.

Fair enough MT. Still think he's one of the best we ever took in the draft. A travesty that we couldn't develop his talent as a Tiger.

Ever since that day he decided to play human quoits with a garden stake he was never the same.

No.9: Nick Daffy

Nick Daffy was recruited by Richmond from North Gambier, where, as a 16-year-old, he’d won the Western Border League’s Rookie of the Year award.

The Tigers had claimed him with their fourth selection in the 1990 National Draft, and they subsequently nursed him through his first few seasons of league football.

Daffy played a few games with Richmond’s under 19s, in the final year of that competition, in 1991, and then made his senior league debut early the next season.

No. 8: Shane Tuck

When it comes to assessing Shane Tuck’s league career at Richmond, the numbers say it all . . . seven top-10 finishes in the Jack Dyer Medal, in eight full seasons, with five of those top-five placings, and a career disposals average of 23.8 per game, which is the highest of any current-day Tiger player.

Impressive figures for any player at the game’s highest level, let alone someone, who was a mature-age selection at pick 73 overall in the National Draft.

Matty Rogers , great player

As an aside , jamie Tape ,poor bugger its nearly 10 years since he passed, loved him RIP

Tucky's a champ. Getting better with age, and still underrated. What he lacks in class, he more than makes up for in other areas.
Will be top 5 JD when he's 35.

No.7: Andrew Kellaway

Andrew Kellaway actually started his career at Richmond on the now-defunct supplementary list, and he was a member of the Club’s last reserve-grade premiership side in 1997.

At the end of that year the younger brother of valuable Tiger defender, Duncan Kellaway, was chosen by the Tigers at pick 71 overall in the National Draft.

He made his senior league debut the following season, but it wasn’t until 2000 that Kellaway became an integral part of the Richmond line-up.

No.6: Chris Newman

Chris Newman has provided Richmond with excellent service since being chosen by the Club at a bargain-basement pick 55 in the 2000 National Draft.

No.5 Brendon Gale

Brendon Gale was Richmond’s third selection (No. 27 overall) in the second-ever AFL National Draft, which was held in 1987.

He was recruited from Tasmania, where his father, Don Gale, had been a champion footballer throughout the 1950s and early 1960s.

Several decades before then, Don’s father (Brendon’s grandfather) Jack Gale had played senior football for Richmond (in 1924).

No.4: Jack Riewoldt

Tasmania has long been a breeding ground for star Richmond key forwards . . .

First there was Royce Hart, then Michael Roach, followed by Matthew Richardson and, now, it’s Jack Riewoldt’s turn to thrill the Tiger Army with his dazzling exploits up forward.

From Clarence, the same Tassie club that the great Royce Hart was recruited from, Riewoldt has already achieved plenty in just five full seasons of AFL football, after being snapped up by the Tigers at pick 13 in the 2006 National Draft.

No.3: Trent Cotchin

It’s fair to assume that had this list of the top 10 Tiger draftees of all time been compiled two or three years down the track, then Trent Cotchin would likely have been ranked No. 1 by our panel of experts.
