Two great names of young kids fronted the draft in 2006, Riewoldt and Frawley, hardly throught they would emulate their famous relies. Melbourne needed backs at the time so went for Frawley at 12, Richmond was left to take young Riewoldt at 13.Four years have past and both have had break out years. The game against the Tigers drew to our attention the value of the Toig. Perhaps Chips hardest afternoon of the season. This week the papers have been full of it. Are we seeing the beginning of another great Carey/Jackovich rivalry. If we had our time again would you recommend we go the same way. If we had taken Riewoldt we might have taken NicNat instead of Jack W to add to our Scullgrove pair. Whichever way I reckon both teams would have been happy with either. Just a simple point on how the game can change

Almost as hard as the Natalie Portman / Jessica Alba decision from another thread. Jack on fire tonight. Both fantastic. I'll stick with Chip.

Hmmm in both cases I would love both.

I would still go with chip but jack is a gun!!! I think if you added him to our list and Gawn came on as Jamar aged we would just about have the ideal list.

Open and shut for me.

Hardly open and shut. Riewoldt with the crappest team in the league, against the best defence has kicked 6 that could have been 8 or 9 easily. And with zero help in the forward line. Amazing game.

Says a lot that Frawley has only really been thrashed by Riewoldt this year, plus one other average game.

Personally, I choose Chip as he's a KP defender and hurts as a rebounder. He'll make his midfield look good, who in turn will make their forwards look good. Go the AA KP defender with pace every time as far as I'm concerned.

But it's hardly open and shut.

NikNat hasn't been going that well so people have to start this ridiculous thread. WE TOOK FRAWLEY, RICHMOND TOOK RIEWOLDT! GET OVER IT!

You get over it. It's a football forum. What else are we going to discuss?

I love that there's a quasi-rivalry here. Particularly as Frawley was a bolter on draft day. Very astute pick from the unfairly maligned CAC.

But to give the other side of the thread some thought -

Richmond and Melbourne both hit gold in the middle of the first round of 2006.

There's probably only three players more valuable than them in that draft - Boak, Selwood and Gibbs, with Kurt Tippett being a possible until each time he actually takes to the field!

That draft also netted us Petterd at 30 and Garland at 46. - DRAFT WINNERS 2006 -

Tell you what though, if we had one win for the season, were scoring 8 goals a game, and six of them were from Watts...

Woop de doo. Bailey wouldn't last half the season.

Which reminds me, isn't the whole Riewoldt family fairly linked up to Queensland... man, that'd kill Richmond right there. In fact, that is so horrible to think about that I'm going to purge it from my mind. Imagine the last ten years of Richmond without Matthew Richardson. Oh hell, don't. Oh, it's ugly. I've seen the abyss.

Defense wins premierships.

"Team Defence"

serious...?

most goals/points win i say...football is a simple game stuffed up by footballers...learn that.

Cause and Effect.

Goals are the effect, not the cause.

Both Riewoldt seniors (Nick's dad Joe and Jack's dad Chris) are Tasmanian born and bred. Joe and family moved to Queensland when Nick was young -- Jack was raised in Tasmania, and as far as I know his parents and younger brothers all still live here.

Frawley by a long long way and I'll get the website into trouble if I say why. We made the right choice (off field stuff).

Portman by a freaking mile!!!!!!

Brother go and get yourself out the movie Sin City - Jessica Alba is smoking in this bartop dancing scene amazing.

Love these draft hind sight debates. Both great players just happy Chippa did not turn out to be a Luke Molan. Riewoldt's kicking is a little Matty Richardson like.

I reckon you could almost argue Dustin Martin could have gone 1 or 2 also. Don't get me wrong love the look of Scully and Trengove but Dustin was awesome last night.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
