Loving what I'm seeing of Rioli, the more I watch, the more it becomes apparent that he'll be a bonafide midfielder. There's every chance this becomes Frank's best pick in 7 years.

Really good point, there would be few people who would take Treloar now that the dust is settled. It's not too dissimilar to the Judd trade which the Eagles eventually won with JJK & Masten combing for 300 games of quality football.

The kid is lightning. If Bolten is quicker than Daniel, we will be seriously quick. I can't remember a Richmond team with that type of speed since?

Discounting Lids you'd have to go way back to Michael Mitchell, one of my all time favourites.

Bartlett, Morris, Clay, Barrot? Bartlett, Wiley maybe? Now we have Oleg, Menedue, Drummond, Rioli and Bolten.
That's some serious toe.
Don't know that we have to go back that far for pace. Lids was quick, Foley was too before the injuries,, as was Jake King.

Lids was/is quick but never felt he used it to break open games. Foley had to employ a personal running coach ( Bohdan Babijczuk ) to teach him how to use his pace off the mark as it was one of the reasons he originally didn't get drafted. Once he learnt how to use it he became a real weapon. Rioli and Bolten seems to have line breaking breakneck speed. These two will use their pace to destroy opponents. I'm going to enjoy the ride
As a group
Markov , Menadue , Rioli , Bolton , Butler , Drummond , McIntosh , Martin , Caddy , Prestia , Edwards , Cotchin
I think this is probably the fastest group i have seen at Richmond Football Club in my 51 years

No one's mentioned Nathan Bower. I'm sure his pace is about the only thing that kept him on the list for as long as it did. We'd trot him out every time we played the Eagles. He'd run with Matera and Matera would do his block at him and get taken off by Mick. Just a shame that he couldn't play football very well.
