Rookie draft thread

[Ruanaidh]

As 1st ruck at Coburg Stephenson will be a good pick-up....but I can't see a scenario, unless an injury occurs, where he would force his way into the RFC side.

id rather laycock than this big draught horse

[Coach]

Sheedy is unreal. Can't believe he wants Laycock back. He will break down during pre-season

[bojangles17]

Denham reckons Stephenson and I think he also said Pettard as well  .

Edit: beat me to it Magic  .

I stopped taking Denhams word after he convinced anyone who wanted to listen that wayne campbell was Odds on to take the RFC coaching job, he talks out of his clacker ALL of the time

[Coach]

Perhaps Wayne was at the time? No doubt he will be our next coach if Dimma fails.

3 of them wont be at Punt rd.

What/who 3 of the 4 that are training with us won't be Punt Road?

I reckon 3 will be   

just a little snippet i heard, i believe Wood definately wont be.

So no mini Maric, no Wood .......... and no Toy then if Stephenson is to be picked up?

I would have thought Mark Choco Williams would get the job. We wouldn't get a untried coach to follow another (Dimma). It's the way footy clubs think. I am not endorsing that view just saying what I feel the club will do if we are ever in that position. Hopefully we are never in that position.

I like the way you think YB

Richmond is set to sit out the pre-season draft and instead choose to enter next year with 38 players on its senior list and six rookies.

... while the Tigers could consider giving forward Addam Maric another shot on the rookie list.

4 selections bj. Simon is a category B (international) rookie so we have 4 category A (regular) rookie spots free.

No chance. Campbell will be coach of Richmond one day, it's just a matter of when.

How are Petterd's achilles? He was going to train with us but ended up not doing it due to injury apparently. No point picking up someone who can no longer get on the park.

While I do not disagree that he may be coach one day, I am not sure if he will be the next coach.

Some were saying this was a smokescreen. I personally I rate Petterd. Was poorly coached in the past and given little or no direction. Under Hardwick he could be a real gem for us.
