Richmond list analysis - 5 A graders, No B's, too many C-graders: Buckenara (HS)

[TigerLand]

So only the top 5% ("at worst") in the AFL are A-graders? Where do the rest fit? Does your scale go down to z?

A Grade are elite players so whether its 5% or 10% that would be about right yeah.

A Grade 0-5%
B Grade 5-25%
C Grade 25-50%
D Grade 50-75%

The rest would be kids or Richmond depth players.

Laughable that would even need to be reiterated...

Dusty is A grade

If we want to make inroads and improve quicker, we need to find a way of getting Prestia AND keeping pick 6. To me it doesnt seem that hard, we have a number of players who are expendable and would net us something - players like lennon and Ellis would get us a op 20 pick. Vickery compensation looks like it will be a 2nd rounder - apparently there are 6-7 players in this years draft that could all make a claim for being the number 1 pick, so lets keep this pick.

Also next years draft is ladden with KPP's, do not trade away next years first rounder

yep all fits into a neat little curve made up of 5% chunks.

Agreed, I think Vickery's compo and Lennon would just about do it.

[Penelope]

if they want Lennon, and if lennon even wants to go there.
