List Mgmt. 2025 AFL Draft - The Final Countdown

[lizard man]

lizard man excited he has worn you down with his constant posting about Dalton

He loves Dalton ….. we all do

 

[of unsound mind]

So much talk about who we will take at 3 & 4.

Who we taking with the Young pick? You'd think it will be someone quick. Latrelle Pickett obviously has the hype but only a state combine invite.

Leon Kickett I've posted a couple of times us being linked to. Felt like a rookie but he was a National Combine guy.

Still like the idea of Jack Dalton to play a Kane Lambert role off half forward swapping with Lalor after the centre bounces.

Talor Byrne kicked 5 in the game against VM. Has played more midfield but clearly a small forward at top level.

Tom Burton small half back but can rack it up and moves well. Tested quicker than Grlj.

Don't mind Blake Oudshoorn-Bennier as a hbf with a quick burst and elite skills. Hasn't actually played this role though when I've seen him.

Last one not a need but could we grab a Liam Hetherton who was touted a top 10 KPF to start the year, kicked 11 in 3 games and played in the Academy team then injured his back.

Talent potential…Hetherton! Agree not a real need but we are still drafting talent. 4 talls leaving.
Byrne and Burton underrated all year. Dalton got some love late. All reasonable choices.
Would love Barker but that is wishful. Leray more a chance.
I’ll throw in Rory Wright. Only watched him a couple of times, but thought he’s got some AFL traits.

Not when the buyer is the pick behind you. There would be no need for them to trade if you do that. Eg they say Robey. If that's our man we say no. We will have to go blind on this. If we said yes to them then they know there is no need to trade.

Essendon will only trade with us if they think/know we are going to pick the player they want. Why would they trade up to select a CDT if they know we are not interested in him? So really if we trade the pick assume they want who we are looking at.

Alright forget the fact that they have a pick right behind us. Let’s say it’s a different team who are strategically trading with us to pick someone available. Would we ask them who they want prior to the trade? Always wanted to know.

I posted a while back Hetherton was a player to get with a late pick. One of the smoothest moving big guys you’d find. If we have a late pick I hope we get him. A better prospect than Kellaway.

 

[The Vaucluse]

I would still be happy with
Sharp - Cumming - Kellaway trifecta

If we trade down to get an extra 2nd rounder then even better
Duursma - Nah he is a Duursma
CDT - Im worried about his leap at only 200cm

I’ve got a strange feeling that WC will take Duursma & CDT. Given the configuration of Optus and his Combine results it would be a no brainer for them not to take CDT. Plus, he fills a hole on their list.

That then leaves us with picking two players from Robey, Taylor, Cumming & Sharp. Out of these 4 who is the most talented and has the highest ceiling.

I think most recruiting teams know who other clubs are interested in taking, especially in the first Rd. If we want robey for example we wouldn't trade with a team looming at taking him. Or we trade pick 4 instead of 3 so we get our first choice in.

I doubt we take that speculated Eagles deal from yesterday(3 & 4 for 2 13 34 & 38), but doing so would open up the option to take some of those talents you named with later picks, while still giving us the chance to secure a couple of the top rated kids.

It's even worse inside
I feel like grandpa Simpson

 

[guruisatiger]

Not Robey.

But carrie did

Had a vision. picks 3 & 4 for Essendons 30/83 & F1.

I remember Blair Hartley saying that Richmond has only ever asked a club once and was told the player before we made the trade. So yes we could ask the question. If they refuse to tell us, then we’d have to decide if the risk of losing our preferred player is worth the compo.

That deal was a dud. We will get one of those picks around there for Young. 13 & 34 for 4 so we can upgrade from 3 to 2 and take the guy WC don't want? Nah

Don't want it either.

Just take 3 & 4 plus the pick we get for Young and move on.

Robey >> Cumming > Taylor >> Sharp

 

[Damo80]

Hahaha just giving the reasons why hes a chance to be there late.

Guys at that size need to have elite speed or skills to go high imo.

What he does have is a huge tank, work rate, ability to find the footy, IQ and defensive/contested game.

Lambo was small, wasn't express and could barely kick 45 but he was all the same positives and it took a while for a team to recognise that and pick him and he became an integral part of 3 flags.

Not really familiar with him, but sounds a bit Shaun Mannagh’ish?

 

[GhostofJimJess]

I think we are more likely to take a chance on him if we get a better pick for Young (e.g. 34) and then trade it to slide back in the 2025 draft and ensure we don't over-pay. For example, if we can turn 34 into pick 50 + F3 then that works nicely for us.

Yes.

If we manage to secure #34 for Young, I believe that Hartley will slide that pick into 2026 upgrades until the Kellaway bid is made.

With any luck we'll have upgraded 2 or 3 of our 2026 picks by then

eg. Richmond F3 for Geelong F2 by sliding 2025 #34 to #39
Then Richmond F4 for Fremantle F3 by sliding 2025 #39 to #45
etc ...

This works on the proviso that these example clubs Geelong and Fremantle have identified a player they like that is still on the board, but might be snapped up within the ensuing 5-6 picks before their next pick (eg Ludowyke, Rodriguez)

Hopefully this happens until we are required to use that pick on Kellaway (maybe no oppo bid will even come?).

Hartley has successfully displayed a precedent for this style of live trading in the past. Oppo clubs will have him on speed dial.

I am always happy to hear others' opinions, as well as all the good folks on BF and PRE.

Jordan from centre half bench, he says bombers from reports, rumours want Robey and could well offer us picks 5 and 6 for our pick 3 and picks going back.

Jordan says if i were Richmond, i would decline it as he thinks Robey will be a star.

I like Robey too and hope we draft him and for our 2nd pick, any of sharp, cumming and Grjl
If we do happen to split pick 3, this can only happen if Robey isnt on our radar, if he is, then no way, no deal.

If we keep 3 and decide to split Pick 4, it would have to seriously advantage us or again no deal.

What are everyone's thoughts on this if picks 5 and 6 were offered for our pick 3?

If we had to give something back, I'd say F3 only. If they want pick 3 so much, then pay up and don't expect a lot back, just like North did, giving us their F1.

Girl is a tough campaigner. What a terrible comparison

can we get FOS instead
