Didn’t say best 25 - but best 25 for us is a fairly low bar at this stage, let’s be honest.We arent getting 2 first rounds (regardless of where those firsts are) and a young best 25 player for Cerra.

They never last as long as advertised..I just want some steak knives damnit.
Haha, yeah but lets make it those Japanese steaknives, not the wooden ones from my kids playsetI just want some steak knives damnit.
It’s not about how sharp the knife is, it’s how you pretend to cut with it…Haha, yeah but lets make it those Japanese steaknives, not the wooden ones from my kids playset
Ideally, you trade down the 1st round e.g. Pick 6 for 15 and 20.Would we be upset if Freo reached at pick 6-9 whatever it ends up being for one of Amiss or Williams if they stay ranked around 15 onwards?
I think we would, unless they became stars
If we added 9 and 17 to our first I would be gunning for 8) Erasmus/Johnson, 9) Amiss/ Erasmus/Johnson, 17) Amiss/Williams/van Rooyen/Andrews. The bolded being my preferred.Say it’s Richmond’s two picks as they currently stand, picks 9 and 17.
Who do you hope to take at pick 9?
Going on my own personal rankings, Goater and Erasmus are both likely gone. Johnson is 50/50 to be there. Other mids I have around the mark are Hobbs, Ward, Chesser or Sonsie.
I believe it’s to early to draft one of the WA KPP’s there, unless Amiss is a stand out of the Championships. But I believe there’s a fair chance Amiss goes before pick 17.
Personally I hope Brisbane gives serious consideration to Amiss at our first pick.
At pick 17, one of Williams or Van Rooyen should be there. I do have questions about their athleticism and length. I really would like to see them show elite speed or jump, or the go go gadget arms of Ben Brown, to know they’re going to be able to compete against the top KPD’s in the league.
Again, I personally don’t have Williams or Van Rooyen rated in my top 20.
Yeah, we have way too many forwards. Too many rucks too.havent posted on big footy for a while, nice to be back!
am I the only one that would not mind Lobb leaving, I think tabernar is well ahead of him and would like to get games in Treacy. I think on $700k he is well overpaid and I see him more as a depth player in the future - I’d definitely be looking at potential offers.
And that we don't particularly careBell's comments on Lobb for anyone that couldnt be bothered to listen to the interview
...
There is more posturing in those comments then a yoga studio, really seems like Lobb is trying to leave
Going into this season with only 3 KPFs on our list was sub-standard list management. If Lobb goes surely the Footy Dept is committing to recruiting at least 2 KPFs. So then we would have 4. That is still way too low but at least is starting to get to the minimum number for any self-respecting club.Yeah, we have way too many forwards. Too many rucks too.

I agree with you, but 'surely' doesn't do it for me. The track record says we trade for key forwards and rarely draft them, and there don't seem to be any available to trade for.Going into this season with only 3 KPFs on our list was sub-standard list management.

Mason Cox should be available. He would be good to add to our "tackle free" forward line.I agree with you, but 'surely' doesn't do it for me. The track record says we trade for key forwards and rarely draft them, and there don't seem to be any available to trade for.
If there was something going back in the trade I would strongly push next year's second round rather than this year's, and hope to pick up the likes of Browne, Ditmar, Sheldrick, Serong. Richmond already hold a suite of second round picks don't they?
Sheldrick is an absolute bull. Would bet on him to break most tackles, can win the footy, great hands. One of the worst kicks I've seen. Does well for a bigger body to be able to move around the ground, just cannot kick the ball.
Sheldrick is purely an inside mid, quite slow moving. His decision making also leaves a lot to be desired.
And that strategy has worked so well for us (sarcasm)... And if Lobb leaves, we will have not a single traded in KPF still on our list.I agree with you, but 'surely' doesn't do it for me.

Yes, draft half back flankers and turn them into key forwards.And that strategy has worked so well for us (sarcasm)... And if Lobb leaves, we will have not a single traded in KPF still on our list.
Maybe there is a more effective alternative to only using late and rookie picks on KPFs and then spending a fortune in draft currency to try and buy KPFs in to fix the gaping holes left by not investing in the draft?
I'm half expecting we'll finally draft some key forwards (getting all us 'draft some forwards ffs' brigade excited) only to then decide to "develop them defensively" by playing them at half back.Yes, draft half back flankers and turn them into key forwards.
Its going to be interesting what we do because I dont think there is any chance of us using our first pick on a key forward with how we do things. Think there will be a lot of moving and shaking before draft night.I'm half expecting we'll finally draft some key forwards (getting all us 'draft some forwards ffs' brigade excited) only to then decide to "develop them defensively" by playing them at half back.

Coin dependent and just structure wise we could do worse.Mason Cox should be available. He would be good to add to our "tackle free" forward line.
