There could not be a more accurate post written. How many lives has this guy got !
With all the talk about what's Hopper worth etc.
Why don’t we give them a Future 1st, pick 31 and they can keep the 2023 cup for the summer

Wouldn’t be shocked if their names came up in discussion tt.
Any state rucks you think could make a decent back up ?
It’s slim pickings are far as I can see. Liam Reidy from Frankston, Hamish Free from South Fremantle and Oliver Eastland from Claremont but they’ve all got their limitations.
Best bet is Harry Boyd from Norwood. 198cm (so short by AFL standards) but is a trojan. Agile, good mark and also plays as a key forward.
Can also name every Academy award winner since 1926 …..many of many talents
Boyd would be a good get, rookie pick would be perfect even if he plays VFL all year as a back up option after Ryan.
Thanks for noticing. I’ve been working real hard on it since I got that rev up.
Just had a quick look at teams who have won a flag back to 2006 , just about every winning teams Ruckman started at another club , in 2006 Cox was the man and he was a rookie , never ever give up high picks on ruckman is a rule I hope Blair and Matt continue to have on the cover of there list building book
We basically need a ruckman with a mature body and a bit of size about him who may be called upon to ruck in a few senior games in the event that Ryan is not quite ready. In all likelihood, Ryan will get first dibs when Nank is injured. If he doesn’t cope, the we need a plan B. If he gets tired, then it’s plan B again.
I have no doubt that they will find such a doofus and place him on the rookie list.

*smile* I’d even be inclined to give them 2019 cup for the summer. I’m not sure hopper and Taranto will be rushing to see it when they walk in the door at Punt Rd.
They can look at it every day and try to win a couple for themselves.
Strive for excellence that's the Richmond way
The boys will learn very quickly how good we are on and off the field.
P.s I don't expect much early, it will take them approximately 5 weeks to get a custom to a crowd cheering them on.
To be fair every club would have given their eye teeth for Cox when he established himself and plenty would have been kicking themselves by overlooking him. Would have gone alright in a yellow and black jumper.
Just noticed your post, after posting about Hamish Free on the 2022 draft thread. I mentioned Oliver Eastland a couple of years ago, he goes ok, is more mobile than Free.
If pick 19 goes along with our future 1st both seasons are left in very bad shape for our recruiters.
Can’t help but think the Hopper trade may
still include some surprises and that Blair and co have been working on a few other possibilities especially around our future picks.
There was some interest expressed about RCD, maybe George also?
