Wasn't there someone at another club who quit the club when his son was selected because of conflicts of interest? It clearly should have happened here because there's no way SOS can make an impartial decision.

Is this something you've heard?

Stocker looked ok with what he did at HB in the VFL going by the vision but nothing exceptional that makes you go wow.
I’m guessing they are holding this kid back for a reason.
But why did we pick him before Ross?
Were we not expecting Ross to perform like he has?
What’s RCD got to work on to get picked?

RCD touted as more of a prodigy than a readymade star, may take a bit more time to excel. He relied on his on his height and strength to win ball at TAC level, against men will take a little time to adjust.
Might still be dealing with growing pains, he seems to being managed a bit with his workload at training more so than Ross, also I reckon TOG, (time on ground), in VFL games is relatively low?
It was acknowledged by RCD himself and draft watchers that endurance needed to improve, so ability to run out games and get contest to contest.
Encouraging game in VFL on weekend, happy for him develop under Fly for a bit longer yet.
This reminds me of the Bolton graham
Situation where we rated Bolton over graham
But it was graham who took off first.

RCD was a very highly rated player prior to the draft but never a player that was considered to be ready to go for 2018
His number 1 issue is his tank and the ability to get from contest to contest which also affects his possession count, In 12-24 months this will naturally increase as he already has the ability to win his own ball but will have the fitness to get to the next play and add link up to his game.
He has jumped up from Tac to VFL well and is getting similar numbers at this level in his first few games and adjusted well , Once confident and more fitness and strength he will start to use his assets better and with the knowledge of the Richmond game style will know where to run after the initial center clearance
I would think he gets 2-3 games at most in the seniors just for a taste but would doubt it would be more unless we get alot more injuries to mids

even if they thought ross would impact and be better than rcd in 2019, tiges knew we could get ross in 2nd round,the knock on him was fitness and training standards which he thought was ok untill tiges shocked him into upping his fitness and training which it seams as placed him back to a first round pick which was where he was in under 16,s.
