Your club's best recent draft steals, and worst misses

RICHMOND

The Tigers might have nailed their first-round selections in recent seasons, but they have had very little success outside their prime picks. Since 2008, the club has selected 12 players with picks above No.40 and none have managed 50 games. Only five remain on the list (and four of those were selected in the past three drafts). Of the 30 players selected at the rookie and pre-season drafts since 2008, only Bachar Houli (73 games) and Robin Nahas (83) have made a meaningful impact.   

BEST RECENT STEAL: Bachar Houli
Originally selected with pick No.42 in the 2006 NAB AFL Draft by Essendon, Houli has been a regular senior player with the Tigers since crossing via pick No.3 of the 2011 pre-season draft. Attacking off half-back and with a piercing left boot, he is at his best when given license to run and set up play. Finished 10th in the Tigers' club champion award last year.

THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY: Nat Fyfe
In a midfield that lacks inspiration and leadership beyond captain Trent Cotchin, how Fyfe could have made a difference for the Tigers. Recruited by Fremantle with pick No.20, Richmond used its selection No.19 to draft key forward Ben Griffiths, who has played 26 games in five seasons. Fyfe has played 79 games and won the Dockers' club champion award in 2013. He has averaged more than 23 possessions across his five seasons with Fremantle.

Good article Schmooeey very uninformative

We needed a tall more than we needed a midfielder at the time as we had plenty of mids. just unfortunate some of them have been injured at times. Griffiths might turn out to be another Wayne Carey yet as his only young. ok ok just forget l said that in jest  but you never know he could turn out to be better than Rewoldt & Vickery & to me that's a +

Kudos for the originality and not going with the Buddy as worst miss.

Trading wells/Goddard for Kane Johnson

[Diocletian]

Wells would've been a total bust at Richmond.

[Judge Roughneck]

Bust wells be more handy than a fit and firing griggster

[Diocletian]

Wells would've either been delisted, traded for peanuts or just walked out on us within 5 years and you know it.

[TigerLand]

Out list is filled with 1st round picks and recycled rejects?

Are there any players in the list from any other means.

[Lozza]

Isnt Fyfe off contract next year, we could easily rectify the situation.

[Coach]

Trading wells/Goddard for Kane Johnson

Did we do that? How'd we get our hands on pick 2 when we didn't finish 15th? Thought Torney and and some picks were involved. and we got Schulz with pick#12

what ABOUT BANIK AND lOUNDER?

Banik was a terrific footballer. He got a really bad virus & took its toll on him.
