[Tigermonk]

it proves that Kingy has what it takes to be a good AFL player if given the chance.
He is what we been looking for a Baker (Saints) type player who niggles the stuff out of players & always biffs them & takes their mind off the job.
if he continues to do that then he will come out a winner most days
His got mongrel in him which alot of our players need to take note of & try

Priority pick to be revamped from next year
Caroline Wilson | August 11, 2009

THE priority pick will disappear in its current form from the 2010 national draft. The AFL-appointed committee formulating new rules for the 17th and 18th teams has specified that for at least the next two years the No. 1 pick will go to Gold Coast and western Sydney respectively.

The group, chaired by AFL executive Andrew Dillon and including football operations boss Adrian Anderson, is also strongly considering toughening the club eligibility of the priority pick by extending the two-year qualifying period to three years or leaving priority pick approval to the discretion of the AFL.

Although AFL boss Andrew Demetriou was at pains to point out last night that the priority pick would survive in some form, he agreed that next year the first three draft picks would go to the Gold Coast before that club made its debut in 2011.

Demetriou confirmed that the highest possible pick for a club that qualified under current rules for a special pick would be No. 4 in the national draft. However, the strong push from the AFL List Development Group was that no priority pick would be taken next year without special dispensation from the commission.

What a surprise ..... the Dees are 5 goals up on the Dockers in their last winnable game  .

Looks like we'll end up with pick 4 now unless the Dockers can beat the Bombers at Subi next week.

The Melbourne fans who have turned up in their tens are obviously lifting the guys.

Just think if Jordie had kicked for goal after the siren like he's set shot yesterday the Dees would have lost their PP and we'd be last on the ladder.

Maybe but nothing is guaranteed when Freo is playing. Just when you convince yourself no one is worse than the Tiges they prove there's always someone worse off than you lol.

Agreed

Richmond is the club that will make 1 young coach a legend at some point in time. I dont know who or when, but someone will lead us to our 11th Premiership and that coach will be a legend of our club and that in itself is enough to have lots of people wanting our job.

Remember 15 blokes put themselves forward this time.

I just hope this point in time happens sometime before my say 60th birthday.... that's giving the club another 20 years

A nice big cleanout this year, a new coach, new training facilities for our players and some decent recruiting, and we can be on the verge of the 8 in 2010.
