Welcome everyone to One-Eyed Richmond's Tiger Forum Cheers from mightytiges and WilliamPowell.
So a year on from when this thread was made and we've been able to have a bit of a look at this young group of players. I anticipate that in this years draft we will have 2 top 15 pick and we should be seeking another KPF and High quality mid imo. Here are my changesRoss - Could be a decent role player / SameRioli - Could be a decent role player / SameRalphsmith - Wont make it IMO / SameDow - Wont make it IMO, BUT does deserve a block of games this year. / Started off horribly this year but is slowly turning it around. Could be a role playerBrown - Doesnt seem like he's progressing at VFL level / Has shown some great progression. Beautiful skills, gaining confidence. Think we all agree we have one here.Mansell - Wont make it IMO / Has shown a bit this year. Looking like a more composed version of Castagna, could be a handy role player.Ryan - I think he will stick around due to our complete lack of KPF but again wont make it IMO/ SameBradtke - havent seen enough / DelistedCumberland - Could be a star / Fallen out of favour the last 12 months BIG time. Colina - 0 Chance of making it / Same, why is he even on the list ? Sonesie - Could be a decent role player, could be a star. / Same, needs more opportunity Banks - Same as Brown / Has been poor this year. Low possessions, lack of intensity with plenty of opportunity too. Clarke - Wont make it IMO / Looked good at VFL level so far, deserves a chance. Bauer - Apparently having some success in the backline, havent seen enough / Seen virtually nothing which is a shame as he could be owning the FWD line right now.Miller - could be a decent role player / Looks a different player this season. Confident and composed down back, could be the future KPD we need.Young - could be a decent role player / Probably a depth player. Panics at times, seems to be more confident in his disposal this year, which is a bad thing as he bites off more than he can chew.Biggie - wont make it imo / GONEGibcus - Could be a star / Disaster Then green, campbell and smith who I havent seen enough of. / Campbell looks like a really solid player, massive surprise.
I think Ross has another level to go up not a star or something, but B grade player. Ryan is the one for me we need to give a block of games in that forward ruck role let's see we're it ends up. Bauer is the one we're missing his hamstring issues how long now.
Above average, only Brown and Campbell look like they have a change.The rest all look like B graders at best.Gibcus I am concerned will be injury-plagued forever but I'm hoping he does a Grimes and becomes AA and has a good 8-10 years injury-free.

Doesn't quite get enough ball but he looks smart and skilled.We'll see. I would definitely persist with him.

FJ is the only one that makes sense.
Gez a bit of perspective if you based it on today's game should be looking at our senior core.

Who were our best players today - for mine they included Bolton, Rioli, Baker, Vlaustin and Graham. Lefau is 26, but was our best 'tall' forward.
