Richmond Rant / Re: How do we all rate our 2025 recruiting effort?

« Last post by Hart4Jack on Today at 04:40:42 PM »

I understand that it was only pick 99 that we weren't going to use. THough that picked would have ended up closer to late 60s early 70s wouldn't it?

But ...

The reason I don't get it is

He was a rookie at Geelong who was getting de-listed. And from what I understand was no where near getting an AFL game down there (will stand corrected if I've read all that wrong)




I appreciate he fills a need I'm just not sold yet on using a primary list spot on him when we could have picked him up in the rookie draft for nothing

I wish the kid nothing but the best,  he's a Tiger now

The more perplexing thing is why the Cats dumped after one season. Finished 5th in their ressies b&f and their dna with kids is very much about patience so this one was highly unusual

Hopefully their loss is our gain. At the cost of pick 99 it may be a master-stroke, time will tell. I must say I'm quite ok with it.

46 closing in on Yellow and Black

That will be a great achievement and a guaranteed ticket to the grand final

The AFL has granted Collingwood, the Gold Coast Suns and GWS Giants special assistance packages after their continued underperformance in the AFLW across recent seasons.

Nothing for us.

And rightly so...

The 3 that got assistance have been bottom 3 or 4 for the last 5+ seasons

We don't deserve assistance. Prior to this season, we've played finals 2 out of the last 3 seasons.

No forwm of assistance will help poor list decisions e.g. poor drafting and trading. Assistance won't fix a fundamentally flawed game plan and poor coaching

That's for the Club to fix not the competition

I think our 2024 draft is very much a replica of what the Cats started back then Crawski.
Difference atm is the timing of the premiership coach joining - 2029 is too late for mine unless we all think it’s Yze.
