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.

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.

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.

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!

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    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.
