Here is what Weaver has got for us:

13. Travis Boak (Richmond). If there is an early run on big blokes Richmond might be in a position to pick the eyes out of the runners. Boak is a classy outside guy who knows where the goals are, has some toe and loves to carry the footy. Is genuinely classy and has match-changing ability. Expect Richmond to go for a pacy midfielder, tough to know which – perhaps Edwards or Houlihan over Boak. Boak has the edge in class and has been on the radar since under-16 days.

26. James Hawksley (Richmond) – Hawksley is at the moment a lightly-built back-pocket but will develop into a utility winger/defender. The Richmond game plan will be based on rebound from defence and they need defenders like Craig Bolton and Tadgh Kennelly who
can play tall but run and kick.


58. Will Schofield (Richmond) – Lightly built key defender who showed an ability to step out onto the wing and use his pace and running ability to good effect. Would bulk up and become an AFL fullback. Good leap and has great spoiling technique. More school footy than TAC Cup has kept his profile low, but is perhaps the best pure-spoiler in the draft.

60. Rhys Magin (Richmond) – Young wingman. Very good pace and running ability. Extremely light and would need a lot of patience. Richmond has had a lot of success with the very similar Andrew Raines and might be willing to repeat the exercise if they elect to use this pick.

74. David MacKay (Richmond) – Lightly framed and although quick on the running track tends to steady himself and play a lower tempo style. Needs more intensity. Exceptional vision and good kicking skills makes him dangerous even with low possession totals. Will be in the mix for teams looking to develop a highly skilled winger.

Some very interesting choices Weaver has got for us.

Also interesting that he has Bachar Houli at 61.

If he falls anywhere near our pick 58 i'd gobble him up

There's a story about him in this week's pre-draft edition of Inside Football and there's a pic as well - solid looking lad 84kgs and 182cm - that's more like it size wise :clapping
