Hindsight is a beautiful thing but Cyril was far from a once in a generation player in his 2007 draft year.. Hence why so many went before him. Albeit some huge talents like Cotchin and Dangerfield but others like Masten, Morton,Myers, Palmer and Veszpremi illustrates that Cyril was far from a standout at the time and went pick 12.

Paywall
Someone put together a list of how the ten best small forwards in the game in 2019 got on lists. I can't think of a top 10 pick.
Eddie Bets - rookie
Charlie Cameron - rookie
Tom Papley- Rookie
Daniel Rioli - 15
Luke Breust - Rookie
Jade Gresham- 18
Tippa - Rookie
Willy Rioli- 52
The evidence doesn't support taking Pickett this early. Build the midfield first, the rest will take care of itself. Melbourne would be mad to overlook outside run and kicking. If you must go small forward, I'd take Serong over Pickett any day of the week. Beware the bolter once the final game has been played.
Sorry, not sure of the value of any list which doesn't include the No. 1 small forward in the game. Though he was a rookie so probably backs up the argument.
Matt Balmer saying Richmond trying to bundle up their 2020 1st round pick to get inside 25 this year.
Problem is pick 19 next year will become about pick 30 plus with all highly touted academy and F/S picks so hard to find buyers.
PS: If not for the AFL we would of had that extra inside 25 pick

I would be very happy with Stephens.
For some reason recruiters fall into the trap of remembering the last 6 months of a players performance and tend to forget what they have achieved in under 16’s and 17’s. Classic example was Jack Darling.
RICHMOND
Picks: 19, 38, 39, 41, 56 (likely to use five selections)
Rivals see Richmond's pick No.19 as gettable for the right price, so it will be interesting to see if other clubs push for it on draft night. The Tigers have an interest in Hugo Ralphsmith if he's available at their second-round selections, while Flynn Perez is also likely to come into their considerations at that point if still up for grabs. Perez missed this season after tearing his ACL last year but has pace and kicks well. Cam Taheny is a possibility, with the South Australian forward likely to be available a bit later than many would have expected earlier in the season, while another half-forward in Jai Jackson has been linked to the Tigers. Could they also be interested in adding to their big man department? Ruckman Jack Bell and versatile tall Bigoa Nyuon, who is tied to St Kilda's Next Generation Academy, have generated some interest. Both shape as project players.

Makes sense seeing that we would likely end up with pick 18 in 2020 in what may well be a shallow draft.
I've watched Cooper Stephen's Youtube clip & if it's good enough for Greg Miller it's good enough for me.
Looks like the kid can play. Keeps his feet & strong in the contest.

is he too outside?
at pick 38 there will always be shortcomings so we cant expect a perfect player.
for the 2nd round i am hoping against hope that Sam Philp gets through, with his speed and burst goalwards he reminds me of Foley. Kicks are up and under. Would be a perfect fit.
Hugo Ralphsmith would be an OK second choice.
Would also be keen on Liam Delahunty, Emerson Jeka or Dyson Hilder
But in all honesty i am just a mug punter who is looking forward to our club's selections!

Same here.
It's a bit like Christmas where the imagined promise of the opened gift is almost always greater than its 1 year utility.
I love it!!!
Nope, Mitch is very capable on the inside. Coaches at the champs just wanted him on the outside to use his speed and skills. Injuries really held him back this year. I hope he lasts to one of our 2nd rounders.
