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

If we didn't have Frawley we might have drafted Hurley???

Chip is in with a chance of being named A.A at full back, and you ask who we would prefer???

Open and shut for me.

Chip.

Riewoldt has been fantastic again tonight - best on ground by far, in a losing side. I'd be very excited if I were a Richmond fan.

I'd still pick Chip though.

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.

I don't think you can pick between the two atm, it's a close one. A 21 year old kicking 6 goals against a top side is something really exciting for Richmond, good on them.

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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
