It’s a question regarding Stengle alone, really.
Nah, not really. I was really keen on Thorne. Others like Maher, Raak, Hayes, Cleary, Schlensog, Green, Briskey, and Gribble all overlooked.

What’s so golden about taking another kid that we don’t necessarily rate for the sake of it?Seriously---now the Football Department needs to be asked questions of.
Tyler Brown end of season shoulder reconstruction-----missed a golden chance to take another player in the mid season draft.
Once again, he wasn’t slow when he was drafted. It’s not fair to say he was the same player with the same attributes after 3 knees...I'm with Domus on this. I think that Dekka missed the boat when it came to a massive increase in pressure and overvalued guys with a touch of class, but who were a bit slow and lacking in intensity. It's a boat he shouldn't have missed considering we were at the fore front of manic footy.
He can be picked up later apparently.It’s a question regarding Stengle alone, really.

Agreed lots of revisionism going on.Shaz’s draft highlights didn’t show a lack of pace - injuries ultimately stuffed him.
Only perfect hindsight makes Shaz a bad pick - especially given he was considered a great pick at the time.
DFA at the end of the yearHe can be picked up later apparently.
Best of both worlds really if he straightens up his behaviour he could be a steal - but on present information too big a risk.DFA at the end of the year
He looked awesome in his draft videos, but I think he also looked a touch slow. https://www.collingwoodfc.com.au/vi...dal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1385020060001Shaz’s draft highlights didn’t show a lack of pace - injuries ultimately stuffed him.

We rated Aish almost as highly, similar weaknesses. Murphy the same. Then you also have a heap of later picks with the same weaknesses. Hine didn't rate pace highly enough. His criteria were fantastic and he drafted fabulously until the game became more frenetic.

He was doing alright at the Bulldogs with his disposal. Maybe playing an outside role allowed him to put more thought and time into his disposal.Treloar has tremendous pace and can't hit the broad side of a barn from inside it.
Pace is nice but not necessary if you have awareness.

Probably less fatigued too.He was doing alright at the Bulldogs with his disposal. Maybe playing an outside role allowed him to put more thought and time into his disposal.
Wasn't his kick efficiency sitting below 50% and his disposal efficiency at 60.2%? That seems as bad as usualHe was doing alright at the Bulldogs with his disposal. Maybe playing an outside role allowed him to put more thought and time into his disposal.

I'm sure, i know, we have our own examples of bad drafting.Shaz’s draft highlights didn’t show a lack of pace - injuries ultimately stuffed him.

Bianco says hi.
Short, a bit slow but all class.
Pace is fine but not without good disposal and having both puts the player in the top 10 of any draft - which means you have to finish outside the 8 - despite the coaching shortcomings we haven't done that often.You can have a few of your 22 a bit slow, but it's been a much higher percentage than the few you can have.
There's a reason why we were shocked that Bianco slipped. Shocked that Murphy slipped. Other teams weight pace higher in their recruiting criteria, so our best available are often a touch slow.
If you want to apply as much pressure as the tigers do or have players transition from defence to attack as quickly as they do, you've got to draft blokes who run better than a heap of Hines choices do.
Tiges got a jump on the comp because they valued pace and skill but didn't devalue a lack of height as much as other clubs did.Pace is fine but not without good disposal and having both puts the player in the top 10 of any draft - which means you have to finish outside the 8 - despite the coaching shortcomings we haven't done that often.

This is it in a nutshell. Few too many vanilla players, who lack pace, are / were undersized, poorish kicking, and had limited scope for development. Aish being so highly rated the perfect example of this. Richmond have been much better at identifying the right type of talent for the modern game, so much so that they are forced to trade out AFL quality players every year.I'm with Domus on this.

Will acknowledge that we have been disadvantaged with poor picks, often after trading them away. But someone made that choice. Also think we went nice guy over clear elite decision making / mental strengths, which is evident in some of our execution, or ability to compete with high intensity teams.
Madgen > Noble > Mayne > Brown > Brown > Thomas is a sitting duck passage of play that is ripe for error, interception, or failed conversion
