Travis Casserly

you should know the list better than me, i rarely took much notice of the other until last few weeks (when i realised how bad they are scratching for decent players) besides casserly, where are conners, peterson and collins at?

Here you go Krusty...

you obviously have never been there before...

but to answer your question, Collins and Conners are both 18, and Peterson is just back from OP.

Which team did you say you support again?

To answer the question that keeps you awake at night, Connors is commonly regarded "steal of the draft" by non-Richmond supporters and has had some fantastic quarters for Coburg (fitness will restrict him for another year or two). Peterson got over his OP just 3 weeks ago for the first time in 3 years and has been playing with pain killing injections for those 3 years. First painfree game in 3 years resulted in 3 goals and left watchers stunned at his skills, he is a player who due to injury needs fitness. And Collins? Pick 74 last year he has already shown good signs and has no real flaws; very clean disposal, tall, fast, good mark etc. You couldn't expect much more for such a late pick.

All first year players of course, who are the first year players from your club yet to debut?

Anyone who can take a good grab, runs up the ground and fires 50 metre passes to hit forwards on the chest are talented enough to stay on Richmond's list thanks

He definately has the tools to be a good player, that is why we gave him another contract. He's 19 too and is better than pick 40 (it's about time we found players with later picks who don't appear to be hacks).

Haven't seen the kid play but from what I've heard some similarities with Gilbee? He took a long time to come on and look at him now.

LMFAO.

You expect these 3 late picks to play already, how many +55 pick players from last year have played AFL footy this year????

let me be very blunt, the low draft are hopeless, maybe they got it right with the later picks.

Piss off troll, you are clearly not a Richmnd supporter, who are you trying to fool

"Too many players yet to debut" ???

Apart from Casserly the only players yet to debut are 1st year players who all get compulsary 2 year contracts!

So who are these "too many" players we are carrying who are yet to debut then smartass?!

no mate you are wrong! richmonds pick of kids have been shocking guys like Hartigan,Moore,Casserly,Meyer and even Jackson (yes his done ok so far with his tagging but thats not good enough) are very unlikely to kick on! Thats 5 players of the future of the Richmond Football Club that wont be there in a couple of years...

Well let's wait for a bit longer before judging them.

We have been good with low draft picks and rookies making the list for decent times though.

It s a so good its bad type of situation.

How would you know? Casserley will be a very good player, Meyer is still developing and as you said, Jackson is doing ok. Peterson will take a little longer due to injuries he had before we even drafted him, but believe me, he will be very very good. Young Connors is developing ok at Coburg and unfortunately, despte showing great signs in his few games for Coburg, young Collins has OP and may miss the rest of the year.

I too have doubts on Hartigan and Moore, but that will be rectified at years end by those who know, Wallace and the coaching staff. They will see something we obviously don't or they will be moved on

We are on the right track based on the juniors I have managed to go see so far.

Hartigan is our worst player and will be gone. Moore has every single "tool" that you need to make it... apart from finding the ball. Casserly will be a very good player and is highly regarded (hence getting 4 years on contract before playing a single game!! Explain that!!). Meyer has been disappointing. Jackson is 20 years old (or just turned 21 maybe) and is already in our best 22. He's one of those "super athletes" of modern day football, only difference being he can actually kick. Several times the media has reported him as being an "exquisite kick on both sides of the body", he tags superstars out of the game while averaging more than a goal a game himself.

You were right about Hartigan, Moore and Meyer. None look likely to be part of our future.

Casserly and Jackson have a future though

thats the thing i dont want players who we think WILL BE GOOD PLAYERS,
i want to actually be able to see for myself that a player is good,
and has actually done something at AFL level before we can start saying they will be good players

example. brett deledio will be a good player , richard tambling will be a good player
you cant say a bloke like casserly who hasnt played a game will be a good player,
exactelly the same with meyer (might of played a game but showed jack sh**

just because casserly has skill dosnt mean he will be a good player at afl level

you could have all the skills in the world and just not seem to cut it at AFL level

and meyer should be showing something like now like the other youngsters are

if you call standing around looking like he dosnt wanna be there (even at VFL level) developing then god help us

im sick of richmond keeping players on the list because THEY HAVE THE SKILLS to be a good player...

look at the likes of foley and king people might not of thought they had the skills to be good players at this level,

but theres a difference between them and meyer

they actually want to be out there, want to were the yellow and black jumper with pride and aint affraid of coping a knock for the club.

im not saying we shouldnt of gave casserly another 2 year contract

but lets not get to excited about a player whos barely played a handful of games even at VFL level

and as for meyer i think its now or never,

if he dosnt show something in these next 11 games
(even if its putting hes body on the line a few times for the team)

they boot him off back to adelaide were the sook come from
