Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
It’s not a rant! I just don’t understand others making out that he’s a star in the making when he has shown sweet stuff all. Sadly as yet he has not shown enough dedication to even get fit. I find him to be the most disappointing player on our list, possibly because I believe he should be far more advanced by now. He has the attributes to be good but I think he lacks the drive/determination

Would you have his Time on ground in these matches or average time played ?Shown stuff all? Safe to say he has made big improvements from his first 2 years, and I expect him to take another step up in 2022.
RCD played 9 games, these stats are pretty good.
The clangers, I think that's more to do with grasping the speed of the game, thus rushing his kicks/handballs but the composure will come with more experience.
RCD has the explosiveness, able to win his own ball, goes in hard. What you want from an inside mid.
Now, If I'm being fair in my praise, ill also give my views on where Collier Dawkins can improve.
Doesn't get from contest to contest (needs to be more of a two-way runner), and doesn't put enough defensive pressure on the opposition when he doesn't have the ball. If he can add these attributes to his game, then he's going to be a regular and add to our midfield depth.
Word is he's been running with Lambert which will definitely help with his running game.

Looks to be able to get 18 touches a game in 65%-70% game time consistently and with more experience and game time and added fitness should become a 25+ touch player and in our game style thats pretty good.RD 7 - 70%

Agree especially given Budarick is also coming back off an ACLI just see GC having a desperate need for a KPD and Gibcus would be hard to pass for them but wanting to trade up could mean they select a different player
Hope we bid on Fahey, probably at 15 though. Something about him I like too.I am happy at 7 with any of Ward, Johnson, Gibcus or Hobbs. Fahey an outside chance based on something I heard. Was told a month ago we really like Fahey and Taylor. Was hoping for Taylor and Bazzo as a developing key defender in the 20s as well. People forget Tarrant Grimes are 30+ Astbury gone. We need to bring in a tall defender imho.
Richmond are definitely keen on Fahey.Hope we bid on Fahey, probably at 15 though. Something about him I like too.
No, GWS will trade pick 13 if they had to match.Richmond are definitely keen on Fahey.
Question for those who know. If tigers bid on Fahey @pick 7. Do GWS have to match and lose their pick 13 to get him? Would that new our pick 15 jumps up a spot?
No, GWS will trade pick 13 if they had to match.
I can't see us going for a HBF at pick 7 (9) when we have a greater need for mids, KPP and outside speed.
They can trade before matching, not too late.I don’t think they can trade it. It’s too late at that point as the match price has been calculated.
They either have to match or let him through.
Jungle drums are beating that we’ll bid at 9. He played a great game against our VFL team last year.
.Adding callaghan to OUR development program alongside Rowell and anderson seems obvious
Get pick 8 off Freo.lolWho do we take if both Ward and Hobbs are there? Will be a tough one to split
Think this is why we're holding off on announcing Cotch's replacement as Captain.Agree. I’m on Hobbs as well. And can see the club loving his leadership traits and the way he goes about it
We offer a trade 26&27 (1445) points for gws 13&53.They can trade before matching, not too late.
Can you remember when Essendon bid on Keidean Coleman in the 2019 draft. Caused all sorts of delays while Brisbane found another club to trade their next pick for more points.
If they give us pick 2 for 15 then that solves the threat.Wouldnt be surprised to see us put the acid on GWS with us selecting Josh Fahey definately with our 2nd selection an depending on if Hobbs and Ward if there gone it wouldnt surprise me if we test GWS commitment to fahey by taking him with our first pick. We lost Houli, Faheycould be his replacement. It would shock our supporters but Richmond has been known to do this type of thing in the past and if we want him as much as Ive heard i wouldnt be surprised if we call his name really early to see what GWS will do.
I hope we make a play for pick 18 or 19 from Bris or Freo, Offer picks 26 & 27 for either.Richmond are definitely keen on Fahey.

Which is why I've been reading up on someone like SonsieYou just know our blokes will pick someone you least expect. Not saying they’ll reach, but always expect the unexpected with our recruiting team
You’d think there need for another defender would be more acute than an extra midI just see GC having a desperate need for a KPD and Gibcus would be hard to pass for them but wanting to trade up could mean they select a different player
What has happened for you to be so despondent about Liverpool?I think every player on our list is a complete waste of space… hope I’m proved wrong![]()

I'm expecting the worst against West Ham tomorrow morning... Liverpool need to draft Finn Callaghan, it seems that he's that good!What has happened for you to be so despondent about Liverpool?
I expect RFC to take the best available player with our first pick in the ND, which has pretty much been the MO for the club under Matt Clarke.
This is regardless of positional need, or positional surplus.
We took Bolton in 2016 (no real need for a small forward).
Took Higgins in 2017 (definitely did not have any need for a small forward).
Samson Ryan last year, despite a fairly large contingent of ruckmen already on the list.
So wouldn’t surprised if we pick up someone like Rachele or Gibcus (maybe even Mac Andrew) if available if deemed best available (I have them both ahead of Ward and Hobbs personally).
We then address need with later picks (CCJ and Balta come to mind). What I do wonder is whether the first two FRP are best player available and then the later seconds are used for need. Or does 15 get used for need?
The club as I hear want Hobbs, first and foremost we need more inside mids. We ain't going to pick Andrew over a Hobbs or Ward.
We have 4 rucks on our books, Nankervis, Soldo, Ryan, Collina. Andrew is 2-3 years away. We are still in our window, dimma and Co will look for players who can make an immediate impact.
Of course, if Hobbs and ward are off the table we would look at gibcus, rachele, but if Johnson is available i would take him over andrew or rachele.
Gibcus being the best defender will be a tough call as he and Balta could set us up for the next decade in defence.
Who why didn't we take tom mitchell
