Both Foxsports and Inside Football have Ah Chee at our pick.
RICHMOND
Pick: 12
Ideal: Callum Ah Chee
Otherwise: Daniel Rioli
The Tigers have a decent spine, but need some X-factor if they are to finally find that elusive finals win and go deep in September.
Last season, they kicked just 42 per cent of their score from general play. That’s the lowest rate of any side in the competition.
So they will be looking for a zippy forward, who can move into the midfield and kick goals.
That man could be Callum Ah Chee.
With elite pace and agility, Ah Chee has a massive jump and the ability to win games in an instant. Although he’s not a prolific ball-winner, he can also shift into the middle.
“Clubs are obviously craving outside speed and Ah Chee has plenty of that,” AFL academy coach Brenton Sanderson said.

I have said it before.To me there is little of Ah Chee's game that will translate to midfield.
If sml fwd is the priority then go get him but dont expect him to be a good mid. A specialist small fwd in the Garlett mould.
We will play 8 or 9 players in our 22 that i would classify as small. it includes Conca and Hunt who are not big bodied mids. Miles, Edwards, B Ellis, Lambert, Houli, Yarran, Lloyd/butler and even C Ellis atm is light on.
I know Gresham is a mid but is he really the type of mid we want.If we want outside pace dont we have Menadue and Drummond another sml mid. If we take him we take him but im just looking at the types we have and dont have.
If Oliver is there i reckon we will take him we still need inside mids.
Burton is my pick. We have a great need of a Jack Gunston/Jack Darling type and he is it.Would also consider Curnow if available. People are kidding themselves if they think we have the tall fwd area covered.
A lot of people said no to Jake Stringer because of his broken leg. I dont have a problem with broken bones they tend to heal stronger than they were.Joints and small bones in the feet can be tricky.
If Oliver and Burton/Curnow are gone then im all for addressing our need for another quality kpd Kieren Collins please. Lets be honest here Rance and then the 30 yr old Chaplin who we all complain about but he is a better option than the others which says a lot about the quality of our kpds bar one.Out side of a quality ruckman this is probably the greatest need on the list though in saying that we have plenty of list needs.
