Think both Scoop and I were dead keen on Blakely for our second, like Menadue but Weller is a similar type.

Gore's flying for Geelong VFL side as well. Bully's a good judge.
Just reckon we needed and still need the best mid at each pick. Nothing fancy. I've wanted that for years.
Reckon you need at least 12 legit midfielders in your side who can all kick & have smarts. And half must be absolute elite in thier kicking skills. And four of the 12 must be line breakers. Your backs & forwards look better with this mix.
bulluss and scoop
I'm directing this to you two as the posters i recognise as following junior and state league footy closely; if there are others that want to contribute to the task below, please do.
I know this is going over old ground.
And I realise it might be a tedious task to go back and compile.
But we sit here and theorise and assume that the RFC do as much research into past drafts as PRE's learned posters.
I'm not convinced they do.
And therefore I sense that there is a lack of accountability within that department.
And I'm beyond the point of leaving things to chance anymore, and assuming things about this club.
So...would you mind providing detail of the past 5-6 years of ND and Rookie Drafts whilst Francis has been the top dog (I'm assuming you both have been following junior and state league footy in that timeframe).
As has been done this year, I'd like for the record to know...
Who RFC picked?
Who you both are on the record as stating you would have picked?
Leaving aside your picks, who was available after our picks that has gone on to have successful AFL careers, or looks likely?
I can assure you time spent on this won't be in vain.

Agree with Scoop and bullus sending their CVs to the club.
Even if it's a part time role and would help our current recruiting team. It needs more work outside the first round that's for sure.

This is a pointless thread but I would have thought the quality of our 2014 draftees is the least of our problems
Corey Ellis looks like a really good prospect to me
Menadue- Someone posted about a player killing it in the VFL, have you been watching this kid ? With some beef he looks the goods
Drummond and Butler injured but both have looked likely to me
McKenzie looks a steal at 77 but we won't know for a while
Way to early to be making comparisons anyway.

It's a big task 17, will have to dig into the archives. For first rounders I would have taken Caddy, Ellis, Grundy, Taylor & Weller. Obviously missed on Heppell, Scoop & Leysy nailed that one however (along with many other posters on PRE).
Second round would have been Parker, Grigg, Graham, Kennedy-Harris (presuming Grundy was recruited), Blakely.
The others I'm a bit hazy on, I wouldn't have picked McBean, instead opting for Membrey and would have taken Byrne-Jones or Honeychurch instead of Gordon.

Thread needs to take into account what players were still on the board at the time of RFCs selection.

Well done Scoop, I'll dip in when I have a moment. Moving house at the moment so it's carnage and chaos everywhere.
