Though I agree that Richie would have been better developed in our current set up, it does irk me a bit that he still gets rolled out as the patron saint of draft busts whenever the conversation arises. He played 120-odd games and earned 9 brownlow votes (3 more than Grimes and Lynch put together). He wasn't Andrew Macleod, as some had hoped, but a quick check of his stats and career overview will show that he put together some decent games. When given a bit of continuity he was an OK AFL player, even in our dud environment. Mitch Thorp was taken the pick before Selwood wasn't he?
