What the recruiter said
"We spoke to both Ben [Speight] and Cam [Richardson] about the fact that we wanted to have some opportunities at the national draft to take some more kids, and we committed to re-taking them as rookies. Both of them have got their own challenges in terms of re-establishing themselves as AFL players. They both had years last year where they didn't vie for senior selection in the manner we would have liked them to, although some of the reasons for that were out of their control." – chief of football Donald McDonald
Rookie draft
Pick 10: Tim McGenniss (Dandenong Stingrays)
McDonald says: Tim's a midfielder from the Dandenong Stingrays. Our recruiters have kept a close watch on him all year and they feel he's got some really strong attributes that we can build on, and hopefully he'll add another dimension to our midfield group down the track. He impressed us with his consistency over the year. He won the Stingrays' best and fairest. He didn't play in the [NAB AFL Under-18] championships, but he's been able to keep working hard and overcome the disappointment around not making the Vic Country team, and just persist. They're the sorts of traits that successful rookies have, who end up progressing to have good AFL careers.

Pick 25: Ben Speight (North Melbourne)
McDonald says: He needs to get back to playing some really good football at VFL level after a couple of years interrupted by injury. We reckon he's more than capable of playing senior footy, and he's proven in the past he can do that. But that's the challenge for him now, and he's taken it on board and trained really well over the pre-season to date.

Pick 37: Cameron Richardson (North Melbourne)
McDonald says: He had two operations on his hip last season and he lost a lot of weight. They were serious operations and it's taken him a fair amount of time to get back into the condition he was in when we originally drafted him. In the short-term he won't be vying for senior selection because physically he won't be able to. So we've just got to take our time with him and get his body back in shape so he can resume regular training. He's not training with the group at the moment; he's still in rehab. Hopefully by the middle of the year he'll be playing really good VFL football and putting himself in line for senior selection again.

Sound like Cam is coming from a looooong way back.
 
Good to get another bloodnut on board.
 
Is he any relation to Tony Mcgenniss who played for the bulldogs back in the 90's?

You'd have to ask Arthur Cloke.
 


Has a bit of a resemblance to Peter Siddle
 
Seems like a good little dude.
