Inside the Draft

[Glenn Molloy 494]

It was interesting seeing us trying to move up the order -  Richmond basically laughed at us when we suggested a future 4th and swap of seconds or something to get up to 21 from 30.  I guess it's easy to say that we should have had a 2nd rounder or two up our sleeve but you can never be sure what's going to happen, and you have to give those second rounders to get something - we had to give ours up this year to get Langdon. 

They clearly rate Robertson, will be interesting to see how he goes at the Lions.

The targeting of Georgiades and the Mitch Brown signing makes me think the club has little to no faith in Weidman making the grade.

And thats not even mentioning LJ whos likely to start as a forward too.

Because it wouldn't be anything to do with the departure of Pedersen, Hogan and T.Smith over the last couple of years and the injury worries for TMac... But yeah, they probs re-contracted Weid due to that lack of faith.

It's a great insight and I think the Rivers selection is just what we needed to round out this draft/trade period.

He will come back to bite a few recruiting managers on the a.... in the near future.

As Taylor said at the end he is an MCG player.

How’s the cheese platter at the end lol 

[Winter Dan 466]

The intro musics a bit dramatic. Strike force ops centre.

[Demon Dude 425]

seems like they got everyone they were after. I know they showed some interest in Robertson and Georgiades, but it looks like they never fully expected those guys to get through to our 3rd pick anyway, with them showing surprise at Robertson still being available for the 2nd round, and with Taylor commenting that he didn't expect Georgiades to get past 24 either.

Thanks, some of the best inside of the club video ( both parts ) I have had the pleasure to view.

Agree.

And it is exactly the sort of interesting, diverse content the club should be producing. Not expensive either.

And versatility.  Sounds like he could be a goer.

I wonder who offered the 2020 1st round picks to Richmond? One can only speculate.

Amazing that after all that, they took Thomson Dow. Highly rated for them I guess.

Great viewing, funny how they kept on seeing if the phones were still working.?

All our newbies are all from WA, even Kossie.

I'd love Jason Taylor to be picking my Tattslotto numbers because he knows who is going where before it is called......

Isn't it their job to know who's interested in which players? Every club knew exactly who we were taking with 3 and 10, and everyone knew about our interest in Rivers.

I always wanted to be a fly on the wall of the inner sanctum on draft night and that felt to me that I was there, terrific viewing - Thanks MFC...!!!!!!!!!!!!
