How did we rate Richmond's draft?

[Francois Jackson]

Were there any potential A grade players from our draftees. To be honest I dont see any. I see Vlastuin as having a B grade ceiling, McIntosh a C+/B grade ceiling, McDonough a C grade ceiling, McBean a C+ grade ceiling. Collingwood got Grundy and Kennedy who will be A grade players in their system and Broomhead a B grade ceiling player.

With all due respect, with the same logic you would have given Michael Voss a B grade ceiling too using the same criteria!

With all due respect this is a forum and if I wanna post crap then I will post crap and if it works out for me I will come back and claim to have picked it 100% if my rankings dont work out I will just come back and say its just an internet forum and it doesnt matter. Thats how we roll on OER... no responsibility is taken for stupidity 

now thats some funny poo

Actually Ramps, even more than "no responsibility is taken for stupidity", I would have thought many seek it as a real and valued badge of honour!

Ou new forum motto should be, "Crapm ego stipes ergo sum" or translated "I post crap, therefore I am".

Was just catching up on the RFC Qld Supporters Facebook site and they had a few members attend the Draft.  A couple of the guys had a chat with Richard Taylor afterwards and he had this to say:

After the draft last night, we had the opportunity to speak to Mr Richard Taylor from Richmond recruiting. Here are a few points we found out.
Out of all draft hopefuls,Tigers only had 25 marked down as potential players. And by selection 31 there were only 2 left on that list.
Very happy with selections taken. They were never going to take Brodie Grundy as pick 9. but also knew that he would be gone by pick 31.
They have compared Liam McBean to Dean Cox. (can play both sides of the body opponents unsure of which foot he will use)
Only selection likely to play seniors in 2013 is Nick Vlastuin. Others are all for the future. Nick likely will be prepared for Round One

Not sure that's accurate smokey. From what I've read on another forum there were 4 players left at pick 31 and we got 3 of them. Unsure who the 4th one was but believe they were still on the board and went later in the draft.

So can we assume that Matthew McDonough was one of those 2 left? Or to put it another way, out of the 25 identified, whatever way you cut it, we got four of them with our four draft picks?

At least we're targetting the right players these days, even if we don't get them.

Yeah, who knows the truth T2011.  At least these guys were getting their info from as close to the 'horse's mouth' as possible I suppose.  But you often can't trust what you are told and probably the main thing I took from it was like Mr Magic said - at least we appear to be getting quite specific in our drafting/targeting.  I put this down to the improvement in our football department resourcing over the past few seasons and that can only be a good thing as long as we have the right people in place to do the job.

[the claw]

once again rather than just swallow what ive been told by those in charge or in this case read in a post above i have to question what they say.
what a bloodtygreat concern if they can only identify 25 possible players that doesnt ring true or right. no wonder we cant find decent players with 2nd and 3rd round picks.if this is the case i have to quesrtion the way they are going about it.

Hmmmm

I really wonder if people actually listen to what they are told sometimes or whether just listen to what they want to hear.

 

25 players? Doubt it 

[Penelope]

didnt jackson say before the draft he felt the talent dropped right off after the top 30 or so?

So perhaps you could name 2 players after our last 2 picks who you have utmost faith in making it?

Will these be the "genuine" mids we overlooked?

What I meant was I think they wrote it wrong on the fb page. I've seen on other forums from 2 people who were present at that talk and both quotes say there were 4 left by pick 31 of which we got 3. However, they aren't sure who the other player was.
