Well the statement is somewhat correct.

One could correctly say we don't have an obvious standout as we have many options and could have multiple unheralded players explode in 2024

You know it makes sense
*smile* them they are always negative towards anything yellow and black

Once Bolton and balta left this age group it was always going to look anaemic.

Deep down we all know we don’t have any known A grade youngsters.

Gibcus Ryan Cumberland are the ones who have shown some glimpses of a grade for me but none of them have proven it.

Richmond supporter writing it, but once again, the value of this article is below par. Meaningless toss the coin ranking. Most of our kids have barely played an AFL game.

He only wrote our review. the different teams are written by a few different writers. and i guess the rankings are overall consensus.
 
Going to find out a lot about this group of kids this year.

The way Trezise & Brown slotted in at the end of the season gave some hope. Dow too surprised.

Time will tell…

Flicked onto the 'offsides this morning
And Kellie Underwood said the AFLw might need to change the voting system in the girls brownlow because apparently Garner from North was the best player this year. She did say Conti had a very good season and she is a star..but once again people wanting rules and things changed as soon a Richmond player or club succeeds in the competition.
Was Woodein the best player in 2000?
Was Scotty wynd the best in 1991?
Prides??
Did they change the rules after KB didn't win the brownlow in 74?
Or when Raines didn't poll a vote in 82?
Or Campbell not finishing in the top 3 in 95??

She has a point.

The Brownlow (men's and women's) has the most inaccurate way of determining votes. No way the umpires can or should be voting on this. We see it year after year when people win who arguably shouldn't. When year after year a midfielder wins because they catch the eye of the umpires.

What I find interesting is that Kellie made the comment regarding the women's Brownlow.

I await with interest a similar comment from an AFL accredited media person on the men's Brownlow.

Simple reason Conti won the wimmens Brownlow.
Conti's a star playing in a moderate side that didn't even make finals so she stands out like the dogs proverbials.
Gomer's a star playing in a premium side that's contesting for a flag, ( did they win today? ) so she's surrounded by a bunch of very good players who would take some votes off her and she wouldn't quite stand out so much.

Been happening for 100 years in the mens Brownlow, so why not the wimmens as well.

I was about to ask the same thing.
I don't watch alot of the girls play but was it the case good player in ordinary team ala Wines or Garner plays with other quality players knocking votes off her?
Ala Bompmytelly???

People bag the Browlow but every award is won by midfielder. Keep it with the umpires.

There is some truth to that. Conti is clearly our best and other than Sheerin and a few others we lack overall quality. Hence our ladder position.
