Which is Richmonds biggest draft blunder?

[F-U]

So so so so many to choose from. They really have developed a culure of horrible decisions whether that be drafting players or selecting coaches.

Option 1 - Aaron Fiora over Matthew Pavlich. It was the beginning of the draft problems and they have just gotten increasingly worse since then. Interesting to see Fiora improve once he left Richmond...

Option 2 - Tambling over Franklin. Both duds but for now Tambling is the bigger dud. Should be delisted in 1-2 years time

Option 3 - Adam Pattison over another human being. Quite simply the worst young talent playing the game atm next to Josh Kennedy. Woefully bad.

Option 4 - Jarrod Oakley Nichollls over Mitch Clark. Big mistake already it seems. Clark looks like once hes injury free he will be a gun. Nicholls looks like he will be delisted at years end

Option 5 - Jack Riewoldt over Mitch Brown - IMO it will end up there biggest draft blunder. Mitch Brown is the next big thing at CHF whereas Riewoldt looks unlikely to ever crack a AFL game.

Give it a rest F-U and get a life.

This should appeal to our feathered friend

FYI Richmond's draft blunders started well before Fiora/Pavlich

 

[TigerGlory]

Easily option 1.

RIchmond have lacked a very good Centre Half Forward for a long time.

Pavlich to Richo would have been very very good.

It's easy to look back now with shoulda coulda woulda's

It was a doosy though. Look at the mistakes in the past 2 years though. Just so so many. No wonder you are firming as favorites for the wooden spoon. 2011 is way too early. especially when you consider the only player with some talent Richardson would have already retired

It was a doosy though.

And to date the biggest blunder of the lot.

Yawn!

I dont think so. Oakley Nicholls Pattison and Tambling are half the players Fiona is. Fiora is atleast producing results at AFL level for Saints. These 3 blokes on the other hand are just counting down the days before there delistings.

Fiona was doing about the same while at Richmond. Gets in a good side (somehow) and thus can get his skis on

Jack Riewoldt should get a game next week judging by the very positive reports of his game today

He's a bloody Riewoldt how can you write him off Only difference is - this one is TOUGH!

Pity game I guess. Hes very ordinary from what ive seen. Still hes ALOT better then Oakley Nicholls. Surely he will be delisted at years end

 

[JKCeagle]

Fiora over Pav...choosing a nobody over the player who is now one of the top 3 forwards in the game was very unfortunate

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

This is a no-brainer. Riewoldt is a gun don't worry about that!

 

[lids2004roar]

Did you see Riewoldt kick 5 goals today?

 

[TigerGlory]

No he only watches games which involve Riewoldt on the negative side of things

Haha, looks like we just took down F-U... well done

Good poll...

I actually can't decide they are all pearlers ... I actually think that the Tambling one is the biggest considering where the club was in it's rebuild and the needs it had at the time.

We had a **** midfield but KPP wise we had Richo, Staff, Schulz and Simmo etc


TW was right. Best two players of the draft

 

[Smell The Glove]

Has to be Fiona, the poor gal.

 

[lids2004roar]

We traded Fiora for Simmonds which helped ease the pain..

 

[Upgrayedd]

Franklin, Brown, Pavlich
Clark *random player*

that forward would dominate, hell i would even say they would be on their way to september
3 awesome young talents at ages 20,19,18 and a superstar of pavlich, would there be stopping them anytime in the future? they would all have a field day

Unfortunately if we had that forward line, we would have to no one to kick it to them, so that would have ended up being our backline.

 

[SouthSwans]

I'd go Fiona over Pavlich. I dont tend to go for guys.
