Combative enough but thought he struggled with the wet ball.

i thought most of the team struggled with the wet ball.

Another tracking very well for a first year draftee. Nice hands and importantly can read the play and run to receive.

Will be a good player. And unlike Houli and Grigg is not totally one sided.

Loved his tackle on Swan. Hit him hard and rode him into the ground. Swan felt it.

Agree with the above posts.
I like the look of this kid. Mature player for his years, keeps his cool. He will only improve.

Looking the goods.

Hasn't starred but gets his job done.

Can't ask for more with only 4 games under his belt.

Good size on him. Makes sound decisions. Looking forward in another 2 years when He and Conca have played a few more years. These two will dramatically strengthen our side as they get more experienced.
Overall, I think people are so ruthless on judging richmond. First 4 games against top 6 sides. We r bottom 4 atm, what do u expect? There is a reason why we r not finals team atm. We r like boys playing men atm.

So is Blair for the Pies. Thankfully this last draft tends to confirm that we have finally seen the light.

Conca, Batchelor, Helbig and Derickx are all first and foremost footballers.

According to the commentory team last night we haven't been able to draft decent footballers to complement our core of Martin, Cotchin, Lids! :

These same idiots will say in a couple of years when we are a top team they saw it coming! We are on the right path.

spot on the media commentators concern me in their ability to
contradict themselves week in week out...especially the ex-players
coaches..perhaps they took too many hits...

I loved that as well. It looks like he has been around for a few years he is that composed.

I get the feeling our Jake loves a scalp.
