I'd take another griff

We need two

[Chuck17]

I'd take another griff

We need two

Can the other one get the ball a bit more?

Maybe take a mark? Kick more than 0.6 goals a game?

[the claw]

if hes another griff i dont want him. not based on what griffiths has dished up to date. ffs there are huge concerns about him still.
anyway to me goddard projects more as a backman, if he durdin or marchbank were there at 12 id seriously consider one of them. all depends on which mids are left imo.

[🏅Dooks]

Whilst were critiquing kpps,  wtf etc with Ben elton.

Put out or go back to grade

[Mr Magic]

I'd certainly consider Goddard at 12 if he's still on the board. Quality talls are harder to find than midfielders and that lad has a fine set of mits.

[Judge Roughneck]

You can pkay four KPD

As long as they are not loaper ala chappy


Grimes - Astbury - Rance
Deledio - Goddard - Morris

Callum Twomey in his latest draft podcast has us linked to Western Jets boys Corey Ellis and Liam Duggan.

Twomey said both fit what Richmond needs - outside speed and class. Ellis is a bit unassuming but a damaging kick, good over his head and can play anywhere. So low risk and can fit into a team really well.

[Diocletian]

Kyle Langford please.

[Judge Roughneck]

Sir Mathew Richardson, comparison, enough for me.

[Diocletian]

Hopefully we wouldn't wait 15 years to play him on the wing.

THE EVENNESS of this year's NAB AFL Draft pool means clubs will head to the Gold Coast confident they can address a need with any pick in the first round.
 
The draft crop of 2014 has long been recognised as a strong one.

"You can have confidence that you'll be able to get a player you really like with any pick in the first round. There's a little bit there for everyone," said one recruiter.

"It's certainly the most open first round I've seen. I can't remember one like it."
