PSD targets / Who Will We Pick In PSD

[Francois Jackson]

cousins or richards. no brainer
cousins all the way. i have changed my tune somewhat, but i dont give a toss.

richards is a dud and a complete waste of a pick.

knobel, kingsley ive had enough of these duds coming to punt road. If we are to stop being a laughing stock of the league we have to stop picking these idiots up.

[rogerd3]

stay well away from Cousins.

[WilliamPowell]

Cousins doesn't seem to be in any hurry to get his head sorted out.  He'd make Ty Zantuck look like an angel.  Why waste a pick on him or Richards?

Julz all I was trying to get at was that if the choice was one of those 2 (and I had to take 1) I'd go with Cousins.

xXx is right Benny can play - Richards ...well I haven't seen a tape of him playing well...

All hypothetical really

[DallasCrane]

I can't understand all this rubbishing of Kingsley, Knobel etc.

They cost us nothing except minimum wages. Ok they took up a spot on the list. But who's spot? Silvester's??

It just looks bad, because Richmond has a youth policy.

On the Cousins vs Richards hypothetical: I would take Cousins, no doubt.

The club just needs to ask itself if Richards will play apart in a future premiership. If not lol then pick up another young tall. Using our PSD pick on another kid would be just like having the first two picks in the rookie draft.

[Hellenic Tiger]

Just because a player has 30 or so games of AFL experience does not make him the most appropriate pick in a PSD. In the first place if
a) he was quality
b) his body was standing up to the rigours of AFL footy
the pies would not be releasing him anyway.
Our time would be much better spent investing in an untried tall who may make the grade rather than giving someone whose body is likely to break down and play very little or no excellent footy another chance. Smarten up Wallace and Miller.
Ben Cousins at least will give us an initial thrill and a million what ifs and if he does play regular footy something to talk about. Richards is more than likely going to fall into the Marsh Esler Schaefer category of Ruckman.
RFC please do not get Richards let him be another clubs problem.

Actually if you look at the Knobel case in isolation it is interesting.

In his first year everyone said it was a good decision - the last 2 not great because of injury some pretty nasty ones at that. ANd let's not forget we have a couple of other blokes who haven't been on the park much in the last 2 years outside of Knobel

Kingslery was only ever insurance in case Richo fell over so we didn't lose out on that one either I reckon

Richards has been to several clubs now & always been released by those clubs
that itself is a statement about the player

Guy Richards has only been at Collingwood. They took him at pick 37 in the 2000 ND.  He got a Rising Star nomination in 2004.

That's how I understand it too. Sounds like if he can get his body right he could be more than handy. Can be a BIG if though.

Yep 3 years ago he would've been a handy pick up. Looked a promising ruckman in the making for the Pies. Problem is every year since he's copped long-term injuries that have stuffed up his body.

Keith fell out of a coconut tree a couple of years back. Maybe he thought it was his family tree and was looking for relatives.
