I was bored this morning so did a quick mock draft of the top 10/ Richmond’s second first round pick.
2. GC - Zeke Uwland
Why? Because Gold Coast ain’t stupid.
3. WCE - Dyson Sharp
Why? Assuming the they nab this pick as part of the Oscar Allen compensation and also assuming WCE go Duursma at 1, I can see them taking a safer pick with Sharp here. They’ve been linked to Cooper Duff-Tytler as well, which may seem them go in that direction. Definitely a trade back candidate (Essendon, Carlton possibilities) and suspect if moved Sharp or Duff-Tytler will be the target.
4. GC - Dylan Patterson
Why? Because Gold Coast ain’t stupid.
5. BRI - Daniel Annabel
Why? Because Brisbane ain’t stupid.
6. CAR - Cooper Duff-Tytler
Why? Carlton use TDK compensation to ensure it gets ahead of a bid of Harry Dean. The framework of the deal would be TDK compensation, future first for Richmond’s first pick and future second (points for Cody Walker). Carlton take TDK’s replacement in CDT.
7. RIC - Mitchell Marsh
Why? The Bison played forward for SA in the champs, but has the endurance ability, IQ, height and marking ability to be a point of difference wing; a position which is probably the biggest need for Richmond
8. ESS - Josh Lindsay
Why? Best player on the board and an elite kick. Don’t think Essendon would have to over think this pick.
9. HAW - Ollie Greeves
Why? This pick is odds on to be moved, but if this is kept Greeves may be the player. Hawks tried to nab him as part of the NGA process and probably have no immediate need that can be satisfied with the players available.
10. RIC - Sam Grjl
Why? Whilst I’d have Cumming ahead as a midfielder, Grjl offers a point of difference to the Smillie’s, Lalor’s and McAuliffe’s which seem to be part of Richmond’s midfield future. Can play half back flank as he has with the Richmond’s VFL if required as he develops he is midfield game.
Did I walk that fine line of making everyone unhappy?
