2023 Draft Thread.

Mitch Thorp was the best example of raising the draft age to 19 or 20. He was so full of himself and equally immature when he was first drafted despite obvious talent. Got a reputation early on he couldn’t shake. Clearly doing great things now as a coach so good on him.
Would people be prepared to give up one of our 2024 2nd rounders if it gave us a chance to land both Collard and Simpson?
From what Matty Clark said yesterday in his interview we’d be looking at atleast 1 tall with our picks but would be happy to trade a future second for collard plus 1 of Morris or Reid with our second pick.
There was also the issue of a lack of exposure, Tasmanian players often disregarded due to playing in an inferior state league competition. Thorp was producing extraordinary numbers, he was played all over the park and he succeeded with every new assignment he was presented with. I think now we are just starting to appreciate the untapped potential in Tasmania, with development pathways becoming comparable with the other states the draftees are coming in thick and fast. Good times for Tasmanian football and I hope Mitch gets a coaching gig at the top level.
FYI. An OK article. Doesn't go very deep or much beyond the obvious, but informative. Some of the insiders trying to talk down the impact of scholarships is wholley unconvincing. If they don't have an impact, why offer them? The 'career suicide' comment was interesting

Matthew Clarke on Gettable Draft Countdown
Richmond national recruiting manager Matthew Clarke joined Gettable Draft Countdown to discuss the upcoming draft.
Good, so they should
Having enough points to access 4 players in that range is nothing short of a scandal and a rort.

I’m a fan. Huge fan. If we can rookie him with our first I wouldn‘t hesitate.
Bit surprised why he's flying under the radar. Dees have nominated him as a f/s so I'm not sure of the implications if a club bids on him in the national draft
Be funny if another club snaps him up in the national draft. I don’t see why Melbourne wouldn’t at least give themselves the chance to match a bid
mustn’t be that keen.Not a draft watcher so keen to know why he's sliding so far down the pecking order? On paper seems to tick a lot of boxes we need.View attachment 21091

I’m not either unfortunately, just learning by reading things on here and twitter
Especially considering those with NGA kids can't match 1 until 40. We may as well scrap them
