    As a long time Tigers supporter. I'm so excited to see Smillie in yellow and black. Watching the RFC preseason videos he seems to be a natural leader and his skills look like they match the experienced AFL players. So excited for Round 1, watching this kid go up against Cripps. He'll get smashed by Cripps but he'll learn a hell of a lot from the experience. Great video Dylan 👏👏👏

    Great stuff mate. Have subscribed as this is exactly the content I love
    Would it be possible to reduce the overlapping effects when showing player highlights but? As it can be hard to make out what's happening at times (this is something you may have already changed since this vid is 2 weeks old)

    Wow! I do agree that the midfielders have evolved. I personally don’t think josh will rank higher that o’Sullivan once he gets form back after his sideline stint but he is a contender for sure!

    Wow, excellent video, excellent content. Fantastic editing. There's so much junk content in AFL media by the guys who get paid big bucks to do it. This is as far from that as it gets. Well done.

    I really liked this video and its content but I wish you didn't have the film effects going over the player footage, it added a nice element of production quality but made it impossible to see the actual footage you were highlighting.
    As for where I think Smillie will go, I'm watching this a month after you made it so things have regressed for Smillie a bit now who has had a form slump of sorts and I'm hoping beyond hope that he somehow slips to Essendon at around the pick 10 mark. However I don't think he will and my guess is Richmond will get GC's top pick for Rioli and Smillie won't make it past there if he's even still on the board at 5 or 6.

      @@jaydenatkin7241 hey mate! Cheers for the comment! Yeah I was playing around with some new overlays and probably went a bit over the top 😂 yeah his national champs were a bit down productivity wise! He certainly fits the bill for Essendon, I liken him the most to Tom Green! 10 might be a stretch though, Harvey Langford is another big bodied mid that would be in Essendon’s thinking too! As is Bo Allen.

    Why? Because most social media analysts are 20-30 somethings that only see football through a statistical lens. They have not had enough exposure to the game in order to cultivate a good organic sense of junior potential. Smillie isn't pick 1 & I doubt he's even pick 5.

I’m pretty strong on the idea that a team like Richmond should be pushing to get 3 maybe even 4 picks in the top 30 of this draft. Could completely change their fortunes if they get it right.
