Looking back: 2003-2006 drafts

[torch]

i think Richmond's development is the problem.

[Judge Roughneck]

I didnt have Patto rated at all and i was involved
For what its worth, I actually spotted Polo,
Also, in my opinion Travis Cloke was easily the best player in that draft at the time

Wow - you spotted a player that went top 20.

Your football understanding is amazing

I know for a fact that David didnt want him at Richmond due to current staff there.

I know for a fact that I don't care what David wanted or didn't want 

A parent should not be their kids manager. FACT

Travis Cloke was a standout in the under 18,s . Wouldnt he be good at punt road.. Cant blame his Dad not wanting him there. Cant beleive the pies got him  for pick 35
Why didnt Chris Judd even consider the tiges ? Why would he want to come, he knew. .
Fiora/Pavlich
Buddy Franklin

Best we can do is trade pick 19 in last years draft for a ""cat "" lol.
And dont get me going about Polak, I told you about him. Couldnt punch a hole through a wet paper bag.
At least Polak will be good at Coburg

it is becoming clearer by the day how much of a rabble we are at the moment.
only players no one wants like mcmahon will come to punt road.

we r making the same recruiting mistakes we made under spud.
under spud we recruited terrible giving up top 5 picks for our pathetic captain.
imagine we had someone like mcintosh who went top 10 in that draft.

under wallace we have recruited patto, tambling, meyer, jon to name a few. they would all struggle to go top 30 now and have another 6 months to show something or should be thrown into the rubbish bin

ill say this whoever takes over this team will inherit a plane wreck TW will leave.

spud got us into finals lets not forget that, for only the 2nd time in 25 YEARS...

[WilliamPowell]

Well is that the answer then Daniel - re-appoint Spud

no of course not he got us into the mess we r in now but TW is slowly going to put our next coach in a similar position.
i see similar problems between the 2, very similar.
terrible recruiting from both. blind freddy will tell you we have recruited very badly. jordy was the final straw
terrible development from both i mean how can u choose tivers and hyde ahead of our kids.

where are our ruckman? no where. why are we not playing our talls.
anything is got to be better than playing a unfit/injured simmo or a c grade ruckman in patto.

plane wreck fast approaching.
our new coach needs some fresh targets in the draft and that can only come from failing in our remaining matches.

[jackstar]

Daniel, please dont mention Jordy McMahon.
Might as well bring back Weller and Morrsion, They still play Greg (Miller) are they ?

Why didnt Chris Judd even consider the tiges ?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ =  VISY

If Judd was after success he would've chosen Hawthorn, Geelong or the Dogs but he didn't want a bar of them either. As much as everyone is blowing up Carlton's tyres at the moment 4 of their 5 wins have come against sides below them including the bottom 3.

he went for money but that aside i believe he wouldn't have come to punt road.

the blues at least have a winning culture. something we do not and that is sadly a fact!!

im not saying that because they beat port, give me a break, i am saying that because they will win a flag in the near future because they make the right decisions in recruiting and all footy departments.

you cant say MT we have recruited well with the likes of tambling, patto, meyer, Pettifer, schulz. all first round draft picks that wont get us the ultimate prize.

[Hellenic Tiger]

They have beaten Collingwood and Port something we have not done well the Pies anyway  this season and I don't think we'll beat Port in a few weeks. Regardless of the $$$$$ thrown at Judd and all the Tanking and such they are starting to reap the benefits of tanking and finishing bottom year in and year out. The future is looking brighter for them compared to us at this point in time. They are more balanced than us and have more youth who have played more games than us. Gibbs was great yesterday and so was Murphy in the last 10 mins taking that game by the scruff of the neck when the scores stagnated on 63-62 for about 10 mins. I can't think of anyone on our list at the moment who would have done that in that time of need.

[jackstar]

carlton are in better shape than us

[Ramps]

carlton are in better shape than us

Not if we tank and get 3 top 20 picks and change the coaching set up. I think we could climb well in 2009 if we can get more talent and we get a new no nonsense no bulldust coach.
