[Proeagle]

This is the video I watched about Tyler young from Richmonds point of view.

 

[Wooshaaaa]

Hmmm. Ryan and F2 to Saints for their F1, saints F1 and hawks first for 3? Would probably need to add the PP or our second.

So you're giving Ryan, F2, Hawks 1st and the PP for pick 3.

In a super daft, maybe. No way I'm doing that this year.

Our F2 is 20. PP 19

So that is 3 for Ryan 15 19 20

 

[BartBart]

Nah, I mean for their pick 2 that becomes 3 after Allen.

Ah ok - thought ypu were referring to Richmond's pick that was once NM's that was referred to in the tweet.

 

[Chris_6678]

Cal suggesting on TR that the Dons may come for pick 1 with the view being that they go with Duursma V3. This was in response to a listener question rather than being raised as actual mail.

Still running with Duurs and CDT and the clear 1 & 2 talents...

He also admits to not know any of the order after those 2 either.

 

[THE A5]

So if Lions send us Starcevich, Robertson and Neale, we should pretty much rebrand to the West Coast Brisbane Tigers/ Richmond Lions

Kings of the Big Cats

 

[WCE777]

That IS interesting.

I think there will be massive shifts in the draft order with all these top players moving clubs.
I would be willing to throw some picks at RICH to get pick 4 if it means Sharp and Cumming are part of the trade of picks!

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Not when that pick actually blows out to the 70s in a shallow draft.

If the draft is that shallow will picks even go beyond 60 anyway?

 

[Deepthroat]

Not when that pick actually blows out to the 70s in a shallow draft.

No difference to a Jordon Sweet or Jacob Kositske type swap here.

50's picks can come in a margin once bids are matched and picks in the 30's - 40's are swallowed up.

 

[rebel23]

Give him the captaincy

 

[ThePuma #9]

Very happy with the upcoming acquisitions of Young and Robertson. Both will cost very little capitol and at the very least raise our floor but potentially play a role in our staring 22.I'm also content the club is doing some additional investigation on Starcevich. If we are happy to proceed i back us in.


I hope to god however we steer clear of Clayton Oliver

. He's fat and lazy and his off field issues are the last thing we need with a young list. His decline has been startling and he's not exactly going to be a role model for Hewett, Harley and co.

If Demons are prepared to dump him and chew up a fair chunk of his contract too then they're expecting at least a first round pick for him.

Neale and Steele are one thing. Both offer leadership and good examples in regards to preparation and training for our youth.

Oliver does not and if you think he's going to magically rediscover his form coming to a team at the bottom of the ladder you'd be sorely mistaken.

 

[ThePuma #9]

If the draft is that shallow will picks even go beyond 60 anyway?

No chance. Low 50's will be my guess with the amount of academy and father and son selections early.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Interesting...
(Currently pick 3, but becomes 4 after O.Allen compo)

Suns might be interested if they want to get Petracca or Curnow. Their 2026 academy crop is not looking like it would need a R1 to match.

Tigers get Suns F1 and will angle at the Port R1 but may well just get the Suns R1.

That said on Curnow, I suspect the Blues would prefer the Suns F1.

 

[Hasselhough]

The below was in a fox footy update



This is how we should be looking to add Robertson to our list. He has no trade value as he was probably going to be delisted by Brisbane anyway

And getting him onto the rookie list keeps our main list spots open which we will for the draft

Does the player get to set terms on that type of listing ?

 

[sey666]

Give him the captaincy

The WAFL team already has 2 captains. 3 captains may be bit too much.

 

[boondy]

If the draft is that shallow will picks even go beyond 60 anyway?

Depends how many delistings all the clubs have had doesn't it ?

 

[The Gtrain]

So what's the afl equivalent of buying the worst house on the best street?

Probably any house that Masten trained in.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Well if Starc is coming via Trade we might aswell just tap Dev onto that trade.

I'd be happy with Starc & Dev for 32. Will likely end up the compo pick though. Good old 2 for 1

Yeah nah, this is what I'm afraid of.

Starcevich and the risk that comes with him is not worth pick 19. Devon should be totally free at this point, given his lack of contract, lack of worth to them and impending delistment. Only reason they haven't announced he'll be off their list yet is because they're trying to milk a pick for him from either us or Bulldogs.

Basically the opposite of what dickhead Nesbitt did when Brander was out of contract and also likely to be delisted.

At no point should adding Dev to our team suddenly sway the value of Starcevich.

 

[Boohemian]

Very happy with the upcoming acquisitions of Young and Robertson. Both will cost very little capitol and at the very least raise our floor but potentially play a role in our staring 22.I'm also content the club is doing some additional investigation on Starcevich. If we are happy to proceed i back us in.

100% this.

Even if they're not out and out guns, they've both walk up starts to our side and make us better.

Hopefully we see some competitive results next year. Exciting times ahead with the 3x first rounders coming into the mix as well.

 

[rebel23]

Surely we can't be the dumbsh*ts to take Oliver!

It'll be the worst trade decision since.... Starcevich

Oliver is a lot of things but fat and lazy are not it.

 

[KBLT]

Clarry would fit right in at Hawthorn

 

[Ishmael_]

Interesting...
(Currently pick 3, but becomes 4 after O.Allen compo)

I barely remember this happening last year, so when I heard about it again a couple of weeks ago, I thought I must have been missing something, because surely something this insane would make an impression.

But no, Norf really did trade their future first for 27 and Richmond's second this year. Pick 3/4 for two mid to late 20s picks.

Can a court appoint a football club a legal guardian?

 

[Mr Q]

Needed but cutting it fine - relying on a compromised draft this year and next year to get the foundations right.

• Gawn 33
• Viney 31
• Melksham 34
• Tmac 33
• Salem 30

• May 33, gone
• Oliver 28, gone
• Petraca 29, likely gone
• McVee 22, gone

Tough times ahead

agree 100%

 

[KBLT]

I wonder if we go with Duursma and Robey instead of Sharp with Dev coming.
