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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
