I thought the exact same when I read that. Will be eagerly awaiting his reply.
Is Geelong-Richmond the new Geelong-Hawthorn?

Nah it ended after the 2020 premiership season when you finished 13th. A dead cat bounce into 7th isn’t exactly continuing the dominance.
Alex Rance was a priority pick and played in the 2017 premiership. He was a pretty important player for you guys, not sure how you’d have forgotten him.
Well there you go, never knew Rance was a priority pick!

You haven't won a final for 2 seasons.
They also got Deledio pick 1 as a priority pick. He wasn’t there for the premierships but did net them a 1st and 3rd in the 2016 draft.
Tim Kelly wasn’t part of our 2022 premiership but you’d never hear me deny the impact that trade had on us getting it.

Rance wasn’t a priority pick he was pick 18
Considering 3 people liked your comment I’m convinced that they just don’t like Richmond and will like anything negative even if it’s wrong and then claim to be objective/factual.

Nice assumption that people do things just because they "don't like Richmond". I looked it up, found it was factual, and liked the comment, as it was a very surprising fact.

That's a big motzo ball hanging out there. Facepalm indeed.

You are wrong. Rance was a priority pick gifted to Richmond for being terrifically incompetent and a drain on the AFL.

Lol.
Thankfully every(?) other club overlooked Alex Rance.
Harry Taylor and Alex Rance taken at consecutive picks. Fair defensive pairing.
I did notice that.
Of interest maybe… Richmond had pick 19 in that draft too. Pre-draft picks 2, 18 and 19. Traded pick 19 for Jordan McMahon. If we didn’t get the PP I wonder what the strategy would have been… keep 19 (and subsequently draft Rance anyway) or trade 19 away for JM and see who was left when we picked deeper in the draft.
And of course, JM kicked the goal that won the game against the Dees, granting them picks 1 and 2 and leaving us with pick 3 that we got Dusty with, without the temptation of Scully and Trengove.

Didn’t know the Tigers originally had pick 19. Fair to say it all worked out swimmingly for the club!
See edit above.
Funny how things work out!

What was the general opinion of Jordie's goal at the time amongst the Tiger faithful?
That's a lovely quirk of history.

Ok fair enough. Pick 18 definitely gave us the dynasty. Miles better compared to Scarlett and GAJ for thirds rounds.

Cotchin/Rance back-to-back has to be right up there with the best consecutive picks in draft history. Roughead/Buddy comes to mind (both top 5 picks though) and Bartel/Kelly as another good one.

Hawkins was the biggest steal. At any rate, no denying Geelong benefited pretty heavily from father/son picks. We basically had one every 2nd year for a decade around 2000.
That's not the point I was making. My point was to refute your statement that I liked a post simply because I "don't like Richmond". And you wonder why you get negative feedback.Ok fair enough. Pick 18 definitely gave us the dynasty. Miles better compared to Scarlett and GAJ for thirds rounds.

Wasn’t Harry Taylor as well?

Not Harry Taylor. You might be thinking of Scarlett. Here's the list. Some hits, some misses.
I think what’s interesting is that Hawkins aside, David Clarke and Mark Walnough we’re probably the highest rated coming into the draft. Scarlett and Bews probably wouldn’t have been bid on under the current system.
