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

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...?

Sandra Sully thinks the thread title might need a change.

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 (?)

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
