Hope he goes well...

and that we can poach him from their lost in a few years.

We've had some luck with brothers in the past, albeit twins, but I think Dylan will be worth chasing one day.

    Disappointed we couldn't get him.

    Watched him play, I'm not

    Can you please elaborate...

    The 42nd bloke played by the 2nd worst team in the comp after being drafted 97th.

    Doesn't sound like a star in the making to me.

    I watched him play and while not totally disappointed thought we could have picked him with the pick we passed on at #66 in the draft, but I think had we used this we would not have been able to have had a pick at the 2010 pre-season draft where we got Joel MacDonald? Someone will correct me but I am fairly certain this was the case.

    Dylan IMO had some similar traits to Jack even though he is a bit taller than Jack. Similar traits for me are the way Dylan reads the play. Not for a second do I suggest that Dylan is anywhere near the level of Jack, what I have seen he is nowhere near him, but it will be interesting to see how he goes.

    Like Jack he gets a Round 22 debut and as a keen supporter of Jack, I'll be watching Dylan closely. Best of luck to him.

    I was going to elaborate but a couple of posters have already done that, suffice to say I agree with both, he will be a 'good' AFL player if he continues to develop and we have more than enough of them

    Correct. We could've also taken Grimes with PSD #1, but chose Joel Macdonald instead.

    Redleg says that he's disappointed that we couldn't get him. I'm not disappointed at all because it's not that we couldn't get him, but that we chose not to. I'm yet to see any evidence as to why we should be kicking ourselves other than the fact that his surname is Grimes.

    Isn't his surname enough?

    Look at... Sam Power, Shane Harvey, Luke Ottens... Oh, this list could get pretty long.

    Jason Cl- no, I mean Cameron Cl-, no, not him either, Travis Cl- oh bugger it. David was the only- oh, no he was just an ordinary thug too.

    In other news the only player on the richmond list to not play a game this year is our one and only saviour, Mr Jordy McMahon, wonder if it had anything to do with a certain goal? :lol:

    Shane Harvey.. selected by North Melbourne for a spot on the list ahead of guess who? Aaron Davey

    That's what happens when you 'go with the heart'

    Heh, well done. My favourite was Cameron Croad - quit Carlton so he could go smoke weed with his mates in the bush. Nice.

    Mind you, premiership player Nathan Ablett.

    He was clearly good enough, but his heart just wasn't in it.

    Don't think my personal "disappointment" equates to " us kicking ourselves ". Nevertheless in a couple of years I will see if I am still disappointed and if we should be kicking ourselves.

    I put him in my supercoach at the start of the year, When I told couple of my Richmnd mates they laughed saying 'He would be lucky to get a game'. Two of these guys in particular said they watched him closely and rated him as a very ordinary footballer.

    And they should know ordinary footballers when they see one!

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
