And 60's and 70's
Funny how when you reflect on the "good old days" you tend to wipe the crap days from memory. I was too young to remember the 60's and some of the 70's but I really think those who witnessed the 70's, 80's and 90's probably saw the best of our great game.
I think the AFL also want some of those days back. That is why they are changing rules regarding interchange etc. It is not impossible that a champion albeit one dimensional player, will dominate once more.

I agree that the AFL would love a return to that style of footy but I cant see how crappy little rule changes here and there are going to work in bringing it back. They will never bring in a rule forcing players to stay in their positions with only the ruck, ruck rover and rover following the ball around the ground. That's the only rule that will give it a chance but I doubt its even possible. Also, coaches hate that sort of a player so you are behind the 8 ball straight away.
Why cant a Lead,Mark,Goal Monster foward with elite speed and fantastic hands cant make it in todays game ?
The 2 things that McKenzie will need to work on is his endurance & Defensive pressure during games and combined with Jack,Tyrone,Ben will be a massive hanfull for opposition backs (Before everybody starts going on about cant play them all in the 1 team, Im not suggesting we do) as we will get injuries during the year and i believe 'resting' players will start becoming the norm in the next few years

Two surprising things.
Read somewhere that he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed yet he came across very well. Even managed to avoid some cliches.
Speaks very softly. All the better when it comes to wacking them with the big stick.

What a lovely kid. Really good to watch. Might be about 7 years before he's doing pull my finger fart jokes in the locker room he's so quiet .

time to return the traditional Richmond yellow
Spoke better than any of the draftees so far, can't pull my finger on why he went so late

The ones who say that are the ones who aren't all there
That is the perfect mindset for a draftee to have. Fantastic video.

Favourite line was the last bit about his goal to put his hand up for selection each week as he realises it means that factor could force others to play better and keep improving.

IMO, you shouldn't wack a guy like this with the big stick. Some people need to be pulled aside for a quiet chat when they have done something wrong. Other people thrive on copping the big stick. He doesn't strike me as one of those guys and probably the reason he didn't go top 10.
Manage him well and the world is his oyster.

Hey Johnno,
A misunderstanding.
Reece will be the one wielding the big stick on some KPBs in the years to come. Hopefully.
And yes on your point definitely agree. Manage to get the best out of the individual, not one size fits all.
Not a fan?
I wouldn't read too deeply into his words mate

I thought he spoke very well for a young bloke. He's only 18 remember? Pretty sure stig wouldn't be taking the piss out of an 18 year old draftee new to the club. If he was taking the piss, I would hope that he was shown the door quick smart out of our club (stig that is). He wasn't though. Love you Stig. xx

Nah sack him now, he basically said * Richmond fc
Kid wont make it !!!
"Great to meet some famous players like Riewoldt,Martin,Delidio"
WTF ? Talk about putting the captain off side - Kids got alot to learn
On a serious note though, Perfect Chocco project - with massive upside

We seem to love the Knights boys.
Is there any link between any coaches there and our club?
