Who would have thought that midfielder Riley Collier-Dawkins was still available at pick 20 as it left Richmond's National Recruiting Manager Matthew Clarke a little surprised.
Both AFL Draft experts Callum Twomey and Matt Balmer had the Oakleigh Chargers player at 13 in their mock drafts.
โWe were a little surprised that he was still there given the interest from the earlier teams, so weโre really happy to take Riley where we did,โ Clarke told SEN on Friday morning.
โOne thing about our coaching staff is we prepare our boys really well and donโt put anyone out there before theyโre ready.
โGiven his size, heโs got a little bit of work to do on his running, but we think that can improve really quickly so we think he can play some decent footy next year.โ
