so how did people rate his first outing.people are quite on him. are people shying away from commenting because he had a bad game.
me i was disappointed. i thought being big bodied and a 20yr old plus his pace and supposed defensive ability he would be some sort of chance to get a game. possibly as a fwd or even defensive fwd.
cant see it in the near future though atm he looked  miles away from the level.

Thought he struggled with the pace of the game; a lot like Menadue did

But that's to be expected with some kids. Some blokes pick up the tempo quickly, others take a few hit outs

That's what I liked about Castagna & Short, they both seemed to pick up the speed of the game very quickly. Perhaps helped by the fact they are both rookies and were on hiding to nothing in a way

Butler too picked up the tempo quickly

Unfortunately Drummond & Menadue didn't

I'd like to see him given a few more chances before I say he was a wasted pick......
The guy looked nervous as. If he gets his head right he may surprise.

I'm not saying he is wasted pick. Far too early to make that call on him or any of he newbies

Agree he did look nervous. Ditto Menadue

poor game, but first hitout so not going to label him based on it. Would like to see him have a few more hitouts. Hardly think people are shying away from commenting bc it was a poor performances

Nathan Drummond to debut (RFC)

Best of luck to the Drummo tomorrow night  :thumbsup.


Drummond to debut

richmondfc.com.au 
April 23, 2015 6:25 PM

Richmond’s third pick (No. 52 overall) in the 2014 National Draft, Nathan Drummond, will make his AFL debut with the Tigers in Friday night’s big Anzac Day eve match against Melbourne at the MCG.

Drummond, 20, won the best and fairest at TAC Cup team the Murray Bushrangers last year and also played three VFL games for Richmond in 2014.

He was a standout performer at the AFL’s Draft Combine at the end of last year, ranking top five in the 3km time trial, beep test, clean hands, repeat spring tests, kicking and goalkicking categories.

“’Drummo’ comes off some good form in the VFL,” said Richmond assistant coach Brendon Lade.

“He could play half-back, half-forward, and a bit of on-ball for us.

“We’re excited about what he can do.  He’s lightning quick, can run all day and normally uses the ball pretty well.

“We look forward to his run on Friday night.”
