Squiggle tips Demons at 77% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
The same Tipungwuti who got more of the ball, took more marks, laid more tackles, and kicked more goals than Rioli in 2017?
I reckon you probably would have.
The flog who said that would likely be calling it a strong draft if he had a horse in the race. No decent North selected players equals a “weak draft”. Sunrise, sunset.To say this is a weak draft is very very strange. I reckon it looks really really good, and given how many top picks were key position players who are now starting to find their feet, this could still become one of the strongest drafts to date.
You can’t honestly think if you swapped them you would have had a different result??I doubt the Tigers would have won the flag with Tipungwuti mate
Settle. Don’t you only have 2 players left from this draft? Both taken in the top 10?The flog who said that would likely be calling it a strong draft if he had a horse in the race. No decent North selected players equals a “weak draft”. Sunrise, sunset.
Mason Cox kicked 3 goals against the greatest team of all time in this years Prelim, therefore he’s a super awesome player and better than other teams players.against a very strong GWS
in a preliminary final
2012 was a pretty awful draft from memory. Certainly worse than 2015 imo for depth of talent.Settle. Don’t you only have 2 players left from this draft? Both taken in the top 10?
Name a worse draft.
Grundy, Whitfield, Macrea, Daniher, Wines, Hogan, Viney, Rampe, Stringer, Vlastin. This is a good group.2012 was a pretty awful draft from memory. Certainly worse than 2015 imo for depth of talent.
There was a period in the game against GWS where they were really pushing and starting to get on top and every time this happened Rioli kicked a goal to keep them at bay , Rioli kicked 4 goals that game and got Richmond clear and into the Grand FinalThe same Tipungwuti who got more of the ball, took more marks, laid more tackles, and kicked more goals than Rioli in 2017?

Daniel was simply amazing that game and in my mind responsible for richmond winning that game - Not sure tippa would have been upto that
No one is arguing that he played a a great prelim though, but to be in the top end of of the Draft he needs to be pumping out these games regularly.There was a period in the game against GWS where they were really pushing and starting to get on top and every time this happened Rioli kicked a goal to keep them at bay , Rioli kicked 4 goals that game and got Richmond clear and into the Grand Final

How is this the only thing any of you can come back to hahahaha
In fairness to the THE_GUN, his was only a response to winning a flag without Rioli, not that this single game makes Rioli better than certain other players.
In a game Richmond won by nealry 40 points.
I was at at that game. My memory is Martin running freely at your forward 50 looking for options. Then again, and again.There was a period in the game against GWS where they were really pushing and starting to get on top and every time this happened Rioli kicked a goal to keep them at bay , Rioli kicked 4 goals that game and got Richmond clear and into the Grand Final

Correct thanksIn fairness to the THE_GUN, his was only a response to winning a flag without Rioli, not that this single game makes Rioli better than certain other players.

Played well enough for the 6 weeks prior to keep Sewell out of the GF team as well.Will Langford played a pretty good game in a big match once.
You still win he he doesn’t play.As mentioned by Monkey King - I was responding to the question would Richmond have won without Rioli, As a Richmond supporter who has watched that game 3 times and still have it recorded. Rioli bobbed up at the most criticle times of that game every time GWS were challenging and kept them at bay. He was vital in that win and the 4 goals were very important and the most critical times
Correct thanks
40 points was the end result but as a Richmond supporter i can tell you the margin flattered Richmond and the game was in the balance most of the game.
It hasn't aged...tall key position players take time to develop. I'm still happy with Weitering. He has one tough year but started to come good towards the end of the year.This isn’t aging well at all so far
I would still take Francis with pick 1.
Rioli missed a large portion of the season so reading into totals is a pointless exercise. For what it’s worth, Rioli averaged marginally more disposals while Tippa averaged marginally more goals and marks.The same Tipungwuti who got more of the ball, took more marks, laid more tackles, and kicked more goals than Rioli in 2017?

Statistically speaking, there’s not much separating Rioli and Tipungwuti. They’re almost identical. I have Rioli ahead because he produces the spectacular more often. I’d be surprised if someone who watches them both closely had Tippa ahead. I would also be surprised if someone would take Tippa over Daniel right now, given that Daniel is four years younger and is arguably better.
As for the Gresham debate. No argument really. He has Rioli covered.
Gresham > Rioli > Tippa
