Ok, so time to do picks 32 & 34. Still feel that the best players available will be mids/medium forwards. I'll add some highlights clips in for these guys once they are added on Youtube. If someone has some and can PM me a link I'll add them.
Rory Atkins
Height: 186cm
Weight: 80kg
Where he fits at Richmond? He's a hit up half forward who can play through the middle. We obviously see this as a role we want to have in the 22 seems we recruited Knights. I think this kid could be his natural replacement. Unfortunately has an article and highlights clip on Port website.
What I like: First of all Atkins is a beautiful user of the footy so that's what instantly drew me to him. He was also part of the AIS-AFL Academy but his performances started to drop off and he was dumped. His biggest issue is his consistency but his best is very good and I'd back our new development team to get the best out of him, starting with building his tank which hopefully turns him into a 2-way player as offensively he is very good, defensively not so much. At the moment he plays more as an outside midfielder but I think he has a lot of potential to develop his inside game to a high level where he can burst from the pack and deliver well to the forwards. Very much a damaging goal-kicking mid if he is developed properly.
Kicking/Character/Competitive (win own ball)? Fantastic kick who is capable of winning his own ball though would like to see him do it more often. Not sure on his character as haven't asked anyone who'd know.
Highlights:
Tim Broomhead
Height: 183cm
Weight: 74kg
Where he fits at Richmond? Broomhead is a utility so we could fit him in just about anywhere. Can play back/forward/mid (wing to start) before developing into a full-time mid who can rest anywhere. As Tigerbob has said Port Adelaide likely to snap him up but can't see them taking Atkins and Broomhead. I just want one of them here.
What I like: His versatility is what I like best about Broomhead. Can just plonk him anywhere on the field and he will play well. I think long term if we could get some meat on his bones he will be a very good inside midfielder. Has good skills, can win a lot of his own ball. Has shown some very strong signs of development over the year. Just keeps getting better and better to the point where he likely won't be available. I can see his career panning out similar to a Beams/Sidebottom at the Pies where he starts as a forward and develops into a midfielder and a pretty good one. (Maybe not same level)
Kicking/Character/Competitive (win own ball)? Without being elite he is a good kick, is by all accounts a high-character kid and can certainly win a lot of his own ball even though it will take him a while before becoming the inside mid I project him to be.
Highlights:
Nicholas Graham
Height: 182cm
Weight: 76kg
Where he fits at Richmond? Inside midfielder/Potential tagger. Could see him starting his career on a HFF as a defensive forward before becoming our tagger or an inside mid in his own right.
What I like: Graham is a very good contested ball winner and for an inside midfielder has an impressive turn of speed. One thing that really stands out for me is his tackling/defensive game. IMO he is already at the elite level. Just a ferocious attack on the man and hits hard. This is the reason I can see him potentially becoming a quality tagger at the next level. For a guy standing just 182cm he is also a handy mark up forward so can be damaging when rested their.
Kicking/Character/Competitive (win own ball)? Super competitive kid and has leadership ability so ticks those 2 boxes while his kicking is solid while not elite it is still at a high enough level that he'd be someone we pick.

Tim Sumner
Height: 187cm
Weight: 78kg
Where he fits at Richmond? I've said this multiple times on here but I think he'd be what Troy Taylor never became. Rangy 4th tall forward who can take a hanger, push up the ground and use his speed. Has elite foot skills which is something Taylor never had.
What I like: I'm drawn in by his physical traits. He has a great combination of height, speed, agility, leap which makes him a very damaging forward/midfielder. He is also a super kick of the footy, and would be able to hit Jack and Tyrone on the lead all day long. For a late pick-up he has an elite run and carry game where he can just burn off opponents at will. Whilst in the air he has a huge leap and can take big pack marks. What he lacks is consistency. Kicked 8.2 one game for WWT whilst other games you'll hardly know he's there. Having said that if he was a complete package he wouldn't be a 2nd rounder onwards. I think he is Lewis Jetta's uncle too as a little sidenote.
Kicking/Character/Competitive (win own ball)? Has elite kicking skills and is capable of winning his own ball although that's not really what we'd be using him for anyway. Only question I have over him is that his brother got homesick and left Sydney after one year.

Jason Pongracic
Height: 183cm
Weight: 85kg
Where he fits at Richmond? Huge inside midfielder who body size is ready to go.
What I like: Just a fantastic competitor that Dimma would be in love with from day one. Big-bodied inside midfielder who smashes in hard and can win a lot of his own ball. I think his upside for next season is huge seems he's been playing hurt this year. Due to his hip injury he has played a lot up forward and been able to hit the scoreboard effectively. Would add a lot of versatility to the team.
Kicking/Character/Competitive (win own ball)? Good kick for an inside midfielder and often makes good decisions which helps hit targets regularly. Super competitive with huge attack on the ball and man and from memory is a co-captain of Dandenong so is a high-character guy (even though he's a Pies fan

)
