I thought we were banging on that Door !!!
Richmond went 3-10 this year after they suffered a few injuries. Richmond is not banging on that door, there's still a number of pieces which need to be assembled. It's homerism to say that we're close to a premiership/top four. I don't think Richmond will make the top four and it still needs to weed out guys like Grigg whose lack of foot skills and contested ability are a liability.
Just for the record, I know everyone wants that sexy pick that allows us to play that fast game Port plays, but if you look at Port's midfield, it's all full of draftees with good junior form, such as Wines, Polec, Wingard, Hartlett. They haven't once tried to pick up the risky guy who looks good but has little exposed form. They've picked the highly credentialed guy with runs on the board. Cockatoo doesn't have runs on the board. They're also willing to pick a guy who isn't blessed with pace, Wines isn't fast, neither are Boak or Ebert. If Richmond wants to emulate Port, maybe we should draft like them?
