And I'm getting pretty sick of guys named Todd.

His highlights package reminds me of Joel Bowden

He passes to Patrick 40 times a game?
I thought Patrick retired...

I like that he uses his speed unlike Menadue, by attacking the line. He’s also a good kick even at top speed which may give him the edge against Ralphsmith who he may be fighting with for a spot.

I wanted us to draft him because I went to school with Kaleb Smith.

Mind you his dob is about 1972 so its good to see him drafted after being overlooked in about 30 drafts.

This boy is a good tough player, he is actually a friend of my son and went to school with him at Kennedy Baptist College before he went to Wesley College for year 11 & 12. My son is pretty happy for Kaleb tonight.

Confusing pick for the club.

No doubting smiths ability. But is a little surplus to requirements considering the Tom Brown selection from last year as well as Ralphsmith who is very similar.

But the target was clearly speed and running ability and this kid has both in spades. Uses the ball exceptionally well and has plenty of upside.

Apparently this guy had elite stats on fox - pls confirm?

Yep he did.

Its not that confusing, we need to keep stocking up on this type of player to ensure we continue to win the AFL Grand Final sprint.

Apparently we had him as a top 20 talent on our draft board, can't believe he slid to pick [47], great young fella, tough as nails, thrilled to be coming to Richmond.

Where did you get your assessment of his upside? Surely not from that 20 second video on the website.

Do you have more information or assessments then what is able to be found online?

Same but different players.
Hugo will be out running wingman.
Brown projects as our Tom Stewart type smaller mobile intercept defender.
Smith is more of a Bailey Dale / Adam Saad running type that sets up the play and drives forward from the backline.

 

[Dr Tigris]

Reckon we've learnt something and don't see size as all important. If we can get it great. But a really good player who is short is still a really good player. Don't want too many, but looks a good pick up.

Mmmm , exactly, very funny

I wonder if the club is concerned about Tom's 1st year so have taken this kid as backup. Best case scenario we've got 2 elite 200 game half back flankers
