Pick 3 replacement for Richo?

But they would be looking at McPhee in PSD now...


Doubt it. They are a year or more behind us in rebuild terms (only just cut oldies like Brown and Johnson) and would likely be getting younger players onto their list. They haven't even expressed an interest in Ball.

Despite all the who ha, I'd put good money the top three are locked in.

As for the PSD or recycled ND players - I think it increases their chances at all the better options big time, particularly Thorpe and McDonald. Who knows, they might even jump into the serious mix on Ball too. I'd be very surprised if they don't go for one of those now.
 
If they are only looking for Richo's replacement now they are alot of years behind us. Surely they read his birth certificate before now.
 
a lot of folk here expect Morabito to slot straight into Freo's 22 if drafted, I can see Richmond fans thinking the same thing about Morabito slotting straight into their 22......however I reckon Butcher might now 'slide' back up the drafting ladder with Richo's retirement.....be interested to see who Freo go for if Morabito is gone.....or will they just say we were always going to go for Rohan anyway?
 
It is near on impossible that any key forward drafted in the 2009 draft will be able to replace the output a fit Matthew Richardson would have provided in 2010.

Richo was set to go on in 2010 and no further, so if Richmond are only now considering drafting a long term replacement then it's understandable why they've been consistently awful over a long period of time.

Looking over Richmond's list there's not really much to write home about anywhere. They've taken Deledio, Tambling, Riewoldt, Cotchin and Vickery with recent early picks, and all have shown something. They've got some handy but not excellent key defenders and midfielders plus Foley is a jet, but they don't have any line that looks set for the next few years.
 
Would cream my pants if we got Martin. Going to be interesting watching the draft seeing as they are reading out the top 10 picks in reverse order.

Going to be nothing interesting in the picks being read out out in reverse order.
Stupidest idea I have ever heard.
Everyone knows the 1st two picks & maybe 3 or 4 so from 10 down you just cancel out the others.
So in actual effect from about pick 5 down to 1 you are going to know where each player has gone.
