I've seen Drummond play plenty of times and he looks like a dud....good tackler but that's about it....list clogger...

As harsh as it is to say it now, I agree and just hope they don't make a list management decision based on emotion and pity rather than facts.

I'd add it's always hard to judge a player until it's been at least 12 months of playing time after recovery from a big knee. So how do you judge the rate of development of the kid?

“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Watching the VFL last weel thought he certainly had improved his decision making, which is one of the things I've been   critical of

And I'm not sure you turf a kid and label him "injury prone" when he's been on the list just 2 years (this is his 3rd) and of those he's miised 12 ,on the with a reco.

Thank goodness Dan Menzel or Alex McDonald aren't Richmond players they would have scrap heaped after their 1st recos.

Menel at least is a good footballer - Drummond is not.

Lol at the  butt hurt of emotionally  invested supporters around here quite funny really.

Ive seen all 5 of his Afl and i reckon i saw just as much of his junior footy as any one else around here. . Thats probably more than most supporters.

I have also seen a couple of his Vfl games. again probably more than most supporters.
Yep small sample size but hey you can only comment on what you have seen and what ive seen says ordinary.

Let me put it this way

I have NEVER rated him and BASED ON WHAT I HAVE SEEN i think hes a dud.
Cannot understand the love as he has no outstanding footy ability and his only redeeming quality is his pace or whats probably  left of it.

If you dont want comment from those who dont see much of reserve players then your not going to get much comment at all.
Anyway the sooking has made my day always good for a chuckle is the highly invested  butt hurt brigade.

I was just wondering if he can be delisted according to workplace laws with respect to injury? Anyone know the answer? Also is he contracted next year?

Delisted and selected as a rookie could be the right move.

Drummond, 22, had previously been ruled out for the season after rupturing the ACL in his left knee while playing for the Tigers’ VFL team last month.

It marked another major setback for Drummond, who ruptured the ACL in his other knee on senior debut with Richmond during the 2015 Anzac Day eve match against Melbourne.

End of this season. So he's out of contract.
