Cranky Franky

Its a ruthless game & there is no room for sentimentality if you want to be successful. I love the bloke but reckon he is struggling & lucky to be in the 22. Should be delisted at years end.

AFL Pre-Season Draft held at the end of Season 2009 2009 AFL Pre-Season Draft Summary Round Pick Drafted By Player Current Team Games Since Drafted 1 1 Melbourne Joel Macdonald 44 1 2 Richmond Dylan Grimes Richmond 104 1 3 Fremantle Adam McPhee 56 1 4 Sydney Daniel Bradshaw 9 1 5 West Coast Ryan Neates 1 1 6 Port Adelaide Scott Harding 2 1 7 Essendon Kyle Hardingham

Mate I don't think you have a clue. Grimes is 26 with over 100 games up. Played 25 games this year. Flag winner & 5th in the Tigers B&F in a Premiership year. Plays on talls or shorts & is the first picked in their defence after Rance. Tough, smart & determined - coaches love him & supporters love him.

And here's me thinking that the whole point of football was to win premierships. Obviously the Richmond coaches think Grimes skill are adequate for the job but you obviously know better.

Might have been reliable & dedicated but still a poor selection by the Club IMHO. He was courageous but not overly quick & had very average skills. Basically a Casey level player useful as a backup. To add further insult we picked him in the 09 pre season draft ahead of Dylan Grimes.

Jackson's most important job now is to make sure that whenever he decides to leave his replacement is as good as he is.

Some perspective please. Thought his last few weeks have been disappointing (along with many others). Saturday was arguably his best game for us. Lets hope he keeps up the good form.

Ridiculous comment contrary to all the evidence we have seen. First of all JT was not underperforming - he was injured so it doesn't lay the law down to anyone. Plus Richmond would not have bothered with a medical if the deal was a sham & both Trengove & Roos have indicated in interviews that the deal would have gone ahead.

Just logged on here to look at some some footy & it seems its a private site for a few mates - seriously can't you people maybe just email each other instead of clogging the site up with personal chit chat.
