Simon Dalrymple at the Dogs and then Sydney might be the only one I rate above Taylor purely for having the same level of huge success with early picks (Bont, Stringer, Macrae, Naughton) and then some more late round gems.

Taylor’s been freakish in the first and second round but surprisingly colder with late round picks.

The other clubs who have done really good jobs lately are Port, Brisbane and also GWS since Sos left. 

Good points DS ... you'd know more about this than me. 

Sydney with their academy has an advantage ... they can identify at a younger age than the drafting age

And the proof is in the pudding with the Doggies ... lots of good young players on their list (over time)

Who is the head of recruiting at Richmond?  He'd have to be up there as well

    He's a stager and quite dislikeable but Weightman should be higher in that list

    Only if the list was done by the umpiring fraternity

    It was our former list boss and Demonland’s own CAC - Craig Cameron - for the build that won them their first flag in 17.

    Who would have thought

    Did he leave us before the end of the 2008 season?

    Given this was actually the 2019 draft.

    ...in the 2020 draft Bowey would probably be re ranked in the top 5 and could be argued the new number 1 after his 7 games.

    Agree. Only known weakness is sometimes he chooses to spoil with his head…

    Cameron was head of football in the early 10’s but their recruiting back then was a handful of superstars - Dusty, Cotch, Riewoldt, Rance and a bunch of terrible picks. 

    Francis Jackson was their head recruiter and missed on a lot of picks.

    Blair Hartley has been their list manager for a decade and the main architect of their list according to tigers fans I’ve spoken too. Jackson moved in to a part time role in 2015 and their recruiting under Matt Clarke since has been far better.

    Wasn't Dan Richardson in there somewhere...?

    Took over from Craig Cameron as head of footy for a few years until they realised they needed Balmey.

    And Matt Clarke was at the Demons from '97 to '08 according to a link I found

    Been at the Tigers for nearly 13 years in multiple roles (?)

    Something tells me the mods are still drunk after our GF win!?

    Hell . . . a few clubs had a complete and utter mare in the 2019 draft. Cameron Zurhaar in the rookie draft is looking like potentially a good pick.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
