    Finn’s a gun, and so is our Sammy. The difference at the moment is durability. Finn has been able to stay on the park and build continuity, which is huge early in a career. Lalor’s had a few interruptions already, soft tissue issues and time missed, which isn’t ideal for a bigger bodied mid...

    Yeah he was talked about early as a #1, no doubt, but there’s a reason he didn’t go there. As the year went on the talk around him changed a bit. Clubs started to question his impact compared to other mids. The same things kept coming up: didn’t have much burst not a big transition runner...

    I get your point about it being early, but there were known factors at the time that make the comparison fair. Hotton had already done an ACL at 17–18 from a pretty routine turn at training. That’s not just hindsight, its a genuine durability issue recruiters would weigh up. Reid, on the...

    All recruiters would take Reid over Hotton right now. I’m not talking about Cumming, he’s from a different draft, so that’s not part of the comparison. My point is simple: at this stage, Smillie, Hotton, and especially Faull have not been as strong picks as Murphy Reid. Smillie and Hotton...

    I am here to support the players no question. They are Richmond players. The recruitment team are not free of scrutiny though. They have made some poor choices in recent drafts. Murphy reid is another one to add to that. Jonty Faull was a big reach at Pick 14 and doesnt look great for us at the...

    I am just talking facts as of right now. Youre telling me you wouldn't swap Faull for Murphy Reid right now? Every single list manager in the comp would do that trade. Thats my whole point. We had 4 picks and still missed him.

    We could have had both. That's my point. Cumming was a different draft and has played one game. Murphy Reid already dominating in his 2nd season. Life time Richmond supporter too

    Freo rated him a top 3 pick and I know other people that even had him one. At this stage you would say Freo got it right. We are allowed to be critical of the drafting. It hasn't been great for a while

    This kid is clearly too big to be a mid at AFL level atm, needs the year off and to train as backman to ease his way into it. Theres not many 197 cm mids around, he needs to be a utility. Best of luck to him, hope he gets the treatment he needs

    Not selecting Murphy Reid pick with one of those other 3 picks ( Smillie, Hotton, Faull ) looking like a disaster at the moment.
