Pick 6 - Richmond: Sullivan Robey
| 4 RANK |  | Sullivan Robey Eastern Ranges Forward/Midfielder HEIGHT: 192cm | â–¶+ |
An AFL Draft hasn't seen a bolter like Robey for some time, with the explosive match-winner having only made his Coates Talent League debut for the Eastern Ranges in June.
From there, Robey never looked back, playing a critical role in the Ranges' run to a premiership, with the Rowville talent booting 17 goals in nine games as a big-bodied front-half threat.
Four of those goals would come in the grand final win over Sandringham, with his stellar run in the CTL coming off the back of a four-game run in the Eastern Football League.
For Richmond, they secure an X-factor asset who can be positioned mostly in attack and roll through midfield, inverse to the likes of Sam Lalor and Josh Smillie.
