FTFY mate...don't want to see you in legal difficulties for undermining the man's post-football earning capacity...
Griffen at 3
Tambling at 4
Buddy at 5
I think we then picked Meyer at 12
then Pattison at 20
We fcuked that draft royally
Tambling you could argue was bad player development but he did * all at the crows too. Meyer was a nothing player and Pattison * me what a dinosaur.

Not all junior stars become AFL stars
After pick 10 its usually 10% - 15% that play 150 games
After pick 10 its usually 10% - 15% that play 150 games
Having experienced the glorious 2017-2020 based on the guns we drafted early due to being hopeless from 2006-2010, I wouldn't change a single thing.
Buddy at Tigerland might've ruined that.

Overall was a real ordinary draft barring a handful of players. Our player development and culture was horrendous back then. Tambling should have had a much more decorated career. As a junior he was elite. Myers and Polo should have played a lot more too with the talent they had. I would even go as far to say Deledio whilst had a great career could have went to another level at a better club (at the time).

Hawks nailed that draft. Roughead Buddy and Jordan Lewis.
Interesting thought that came into my mind after reading the names you mention
Just imagine if Myers , Polo , Tambling were playing in a team with the game plan of Richmond in 2017 - 2020
They would most likely have been pretty good players that would have suited the game plan

Really?
Noticed Brown is listed at 193cm on Richmond FC site, versus the 186cm he was listed as when he was drafted. Has he grown 7cm or is that a mistake? I know we like to turn half backs into KPDs but geez, that was some impressive crystal balling from our FD. Maybe he can grow another 7 and become our ruckman
Well we drafted him to become our Tom Stewart and he is 190cm 89kgs
So our Tom must be bigger faster stronger and more athletic 193cm 81kgs (should get to 90kgs by next season)

Club Legend
We picked Pattison at 16 and Dean Polo at 20
Yep
Well he had a standing vertical leap of about 75cm (higher than Gibcus from memory) and a 20m sprint in the 2.9s so he is taller, faster and higher lol

We would've ruined Buddy. If we drafted him at that time, he would've retired 10 years ago.
Fact is we have so many young players that we really dont know yet what we have and what they will become
Campbell , Green , Smith , Sonsie , Clarke , Gibcus , Bradtke , Coulthard , Brown , Trezise etc
If we can get 3-4 players like Short , Grimes , Shai , Vlastuin types combined with 1-2 free agent additions we could be back competing in 2 years time

Wait a minute, did Jacob van Rooyen go AFTER our second first-round pick in that draft?? I thought he was picked between our Gibcus and Brown picks this whole time
Yeah he was passed up 20 times
Bit early for that.
Christ.
Not just a bust but a HUGE bust after playing his first game of the season after having five months off in his second year in AFL football?
Come off it.
If every AFL Head of Recruitment would lose their job after a player selected a few picks after them had a better start to their career after 1.5 seasons, there would be none left.
I’m also going to stick my neck out. Bookmark this post, Van Rooyen won’t improve much from his point on.
He has all the hallmarks of Jack Graham’s early career. Physically dominant for a player his age, comes on and we all go “wow” (Graham was the betters favorite to win the Rising Star in 2018) when they play well so early in their career, but they have a low development arc because they’re already tapped out physically.
I don’t want any kid to fail regardless of club, so I hope I’m wrong. But I know multiple teams had concerns with Van Rooyan’s development trajectory.
Ultimately, we need to stop this outlandish notion that Brown’s career should be defined by another player. Let’s actually give him some time to develop before we throw around silly words like bust.

Yeah but van Rooyen would’ve been a really decent (if not good) replacement to Jack Riewoldt.
I recall wanting him with our second pick but must’ve forgotten that he was passed on with our second pick over the years. I remember melting hard about Brown’s pick, but I don’t really recall which player I really wanted instead.
Oh well, I’m happy with Gibcus, Banks, and Clarke. Despite me not rating his efforts much, I still understand why we picked Sonsie. I still don’t understand the Brown pick, but I’ll wait to see what happens before making my assessment on the pick.
If you really think that on exposed form , knowing what we know right now , Richmond would still take brown over jvr, you are either deluded , or a full blood relative of brown
He was a reach then and a bust now , things can change ? But it would require a miracle .
Brown can barely get a touch in the Vfl , jvr just won the rising star , they are miles and miles apart , and jvr would fill our biggest list need
A disaster
