Bit of a fluff piece with Will Thursfield. But we get what we can.
Big focus on character. Comfortable with what they know about the players.
Excellently comprehensive yet relatively unknown draft resource with a write up on each player. If you have an interest in a player or 3, you might learn something more here:-

That works both ways though. Whilst you might be more likely to get a dud with a top 10 pick than usual, you're also more likely to get a star with a pick in the 20s.
And with so little exposed form this year maybe it is the boon some of us think it isWith so little exposed form this season our draft hand isn’t the boon some of you think it is.

Makes a good break from all the turd posting across the past 3 pages.This is the old Draft Central, under the RookieMe banner.
Great resource.
Clearly we didn't speak to Jack Higgins before we drafted him.To make sure he’s not mentally challenged
. All good, I don’t have JVR and Bazzo first round either but still worth top 30 in my opinion. I also trust the Richmond setup to develop these guys. I don’t recall huge expectations on Ashbury, Grimes or any number of other players recruited that have gone on. Rance was good for a couple of shanks a game early as well. I just think it’s a great window to get a couple of good potential talls to work with in the next couple of years. I think we missed out on Kaine Baldwin last year as a low pick and available and Essendon picked him, so we have to try sooner rather than later to get some height in. Losing CCJ hurt so rather make a effort now instead of hoping next year will be a better batch of talls.Neither JVR or Bazzo are worth a first round pick. In a year where there are several quality talls they’d be lucky to be drafted. Why do people on this board keep raising their names? I know we have a need for talls, however, quality, not just because they’re tall. This is a midfielders draft. Both these kids, only 2 months ago were considered to be picks in the 30s to 40s. Now because there appears to be no other talls with exposed form they are elevated up the pecking order. JVR looks great in highlights but if you go and watch him in full games, you’ll notice when actually he was in a pressure situation he panicked and cooks his kicks, so badly they all grub along the ground. If we are to take one of the 2, I’d rather Bazzo but with our last pick.
if RFC have to take a tall I’d rather speculate on a player like Rentsch, I think he showed more potential than JVR but has had limited game time/exposure due to the season being halted.
Worth noting that Biggy has nominated for the national draft, but Cumberland hasn't. Another club may be planning to poach Biggy with a senior list spot, or we're planning to redraft him if we trade a pick out.
Blake Schlensog has also not nominated for the national draft, which means he must have agreed to join a club in the SSP (same as Paddy McCartin).
I am actually more excited about our other 4 picks than pick #7
I know we will get a good player thats rated highly and will most likely be 1 or Rachele , Hobbs , Gibcus , Ward , Andrew and they all create excitement in different ways.
But i would be disappointing if we give up too many assets to moving up as draft picks this year imo are really valuable with so many potential guns possible later in the draft due to no exposed form.
Player like Oliver could be waiting to be selected that has not had that chance to shoot up the charts this year
does this affect the live picks we can have to switch in trades with clubs?

I had a look, and most players that clubs have delisted and committed to rookie list have nominated for the national draft. Only a handful (including Cumberland) haven't.
Wasn’t there talk at one point that Cumberland wasn’t keen on the vaccine?I had a look, and most players that clubs have delisted and committed to rookie list have nominated for the national draft. Only a handful (including Cumberland) haven't.
What this means is that Cumberland's nomination will only be for the PSD/rookie draft, where as Biggy can be selected in any draft.
