Yeah, drafting is luck, winning and coaching premierships is luck. Thank god Richmond is a lucky club and so many other clubs are unlucky!It's almost as though drafting is more good luck than anything else.

Spot on. I remember back in the days when we were always crap and the top teams would continue to 'unearth' star players from nowhere. It used to really *smile* me off. Now that it's us I'm loving it!In the media, it seems that drafting has been consistently overrated while development has been consistently underrated. The latter, given the flaws of the under 18 system, clearly matters a lot more.
Why are they getting free picks??If Noth get given an assistance package surely that degrades our picks and makes it harder to get our two targets over the line????
We never got 1 and we were compared to FitzroyI don’t understand the priority pick. It’s reward for poor performance. Should be scrapped.
Richmond got one in 2004 (Deledio), your posts remain as accurate as ever I see !!We never got 1 and we were compared to Fitzroy
Melbourne, Gc and now North are getting free picks.

No i dont think we did, also when Griffeths left, the both did it after the trade and draft week if i remember correctly.We got one for Rance too didn’t we?
Yes you are right but that was end of round one of course.We got one for Rance too didn’t we?
And Vlastuin.Used a first rounder on Prestia. That is a win
I thought Deledio was the #1 pick we got for finishing last. The priority was #4 which we used on Tambling. At least that’s how I thought it worked.Richmond got one in 2004 (Deledio), your posts remain as accurate as ever I see !!
AFL gave Melbourne concessions to get Roos to take the coaching job.We never got 1 and we were compared to Fitzroy

The 1st 3 picks in that 2004 draft were priority picks. Deledio, Roughead and Griffen.I thought Deledio was the #1 pick we got for finishing last. The priority was #4 which we used on Tambling. At least that’s how I thought it worked.

Tambling was our “natural” 1st round pick, then Franklin, then Tom Williams
No the priority picks are always used first, there was actually three that year I believeI thought Deledio was the #1 pick we got for finishing last. The priority was #4 which we used on Tambling. At least that’s how I thought it worked.
Lol just saw the headline Tigers lose out to lowly Norf ….ffsI see Marc McGowan tweeted that Logie was choosing between us an Norf , however has now chosen Norf ..
If Norf get a priority for recruiting woefully, I think we should request a priority/compensation pick for the ARC screwing up our 2022 Premiership campaign, possibly some more cash space in the soft cap ?
