They were desperately trying to get #19 from the crows to land RCD and their offer was the same as the deal that got done with the Blues but with a added pick #38 as the cream and the Crows knocked it back for the Blues pick.
Kind of gives you the impression the Crows not rate the blues moving up the ladder in 2019
RCD v Stocker ............ I hope its the reversal of Lemon V Cripps

Have to thank SOS for his hard work then. ;D
Looks like the Blues will have heat coming from two directions, RCD & pick 1-3 next year. Will be made worse if Adelaide has a bounce which seems likely.
I don't see the Oliver style. RCD hasn't had huge possession numbers like Oliver did in his final year.
At the moment it's more impact touches then volume. I see more Bont/Cripps traits. Either way, it's looking promising.
Absolutely the right call at our pick.

Check out his games in the TAC finals, lifted immeasurably. As for the Fyfe comparisons, need to remember Fyfe was recruited as a forward, RCD nowhere near Fyfe's competence. Overhead he's reasonable but his forward craft needs attention & I would be playing him there for a quarter once he hits the VFL. RCD also much quicker than Cripps but perhaps not as strong in a pack situation. Think people are also underselling Oliver's speed & agility, he has dash & evasion, think he finished third in the agility test. So basically we have a player the same height, an elite handballer which RCD most certainly is, predominantly a midfielder (although this may change), similar kicking style & range, identical speed, near identical endurance. Honestly can't think of a better comparison but each to their own.
RCD is already 6cms taller & 5-6kgs heavier than Oliver.
Before he lifts a weight or finishes growing. RCD averaged 18 touches at TAC, Oliver 24.
It’s been about glimpses of class, patches of top shelf dominance while Oliver gathered possessions at will in the back half of his final TAC season.
The more I look the more I see a Bont like profile. Another one I see is Kyle Langford who I think takes the step to a really good player this year.

The RFC website is so pathetic its not funny
I have it on good authority that Garthwaite is now 196cm and is 94kgs (friend who went to training on sat and spoke with garth for a few minutes and asked him)
he said he was last measured and weighed in november
Personally i think RCD is 190cm and not 193cm like some sites state
turk-d-tiger said:
The kid himself said 183 (meant 193) on draft night, unless he is lying then id suggest he was 193cm at time of drafting.
caesar said:
haha I doubt you had grown the suggested 8cm in 12 months and had TAC cup coaches and scouts all over you for 2 years...
I know your kidding but id suggest the kid knew his height and unless its suggested his dishonest, he was 193cm on draft day.
I live abroad although read a huge amount of RFC stuff (on many platforms) so I haven't seen him at training however its said he slouches a little, almost Cotch like so he may appear to be shorter due to this.
turk-d-tiger said:
I agree that RFC website have historically been very slow in updating player profiles, but on entering a player for the first time, surely they have his accurate details listed? They have him officially at 193cm and 88kg
Tony Braxton-Hicks
There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
I don't think the club even knows. This article on 29/1 said he was 190 cm.
