List Mgmt. 2025 AFL Draft - The Final Countdown

[Morro]

Sounds like it's a future second to move back one spot and still take the same player though. So essentially a free second rounder to help pay for Armstrong or Leys.

given we apparently dont want the players essendon want, why would they?

Because in the rumoured scenario they don't know we're not planning on picking Robey.

But old mate with the inside info has now let the cat out of the bag?

They do now

 

[sregit]

If we ended up with Melbournes 7 8 for one of 3 or 4, would you consider trading 8 for crows first this yr and next yr?

Not going to happen. Fantasy land.

 

[fargothegreat]

But old mate with the inside info has now let the cat out of the bag?

Are they really gonna risk missing out on the player they want because of something they read on Bigfooty?

Though, maybe don't make a video about this Michaels

 

[prodigy]

Gee I really hope those that are willing to put their necks out and share alleged inside information continue to do so after some of the responses they get.
I'll never understand some of the hostility they cop.
It's better content to discuss than 95% of what gets posted in here which we can all agree is just bored fans talking in circles trying to kill time.

Our hope is that WC take Dursma and CDT or Robey because we will be taking Sharp and Cumming at 3 & 4. We will take Sharp of the board with pick 3 immediately and then try to turn pick 4 into pick 5 with a trade with Essendon for them to take either CDT or Robey whoever the eagles don’t take. Our aim is to get a future 2nd and Essendons pick to help with our academy stuff next year.

I have emailed this to Rosa, I have told him to not trade pick 5+F2 for 4 for Robey/CDT because you aren't taking them anyway.

No idea if your mail is legitimate but if I were Richmond this is EXACTLY how I would want the draft to play out.

Perfect strategy for your pick 3,4.

Hey guys, I’ve got some good links inside the club and got some pretty strong intel today.

Firstly the club was really keen on Mal Rosas Jnr. He was actually really keen on us too. The club organised for him to go to dinner with MRJ and during the evening 6-7 times fans stopped and asked MRJ for a photo. Rosas asked MRJ if that’s normal and MRJ said as a Richmond player it happens all day every day. Rosas is introverted and quiet and said he didn’t know if he could handle that environment because it’s literally never happened on the Gold Coast and decided the anonymity of Sydney was going to be better for him, hence the decision to choose them.

We are very interested in a crop of Indigenous boys. We sent the KGI team to WA a couple of months ago to meet and spend time with them and we love a kid called Pickett. I expect he will be taken with whatever pick 38 ends up being. We are certain to use that pick on an Indigenous kid and will probably bid on some of the west coast academy players here if they haven’t been selected yet but Pickett is the kid we want.

The club loved what we did bringing players that had played together in last year and particularly the bond it has created amongst the kids at the club.

The plan is replicate that again this year but this time it will be with a batch of boys from SA.

Our hope is that WC take Dursma and CDT or Robey because we will be taking Sharp and Cumming at 3 & 4. We will take Sharp of the board with pick 3 immediately and then try to turn pick 4 into pick 5 with a trade with Essendon for them to take either CDT or Robey whoever the eagles don’t take. Our aim is to get a future 2nd and Essendons pick to help with our academy stuff next year.

We will then add Kellaway as a 3rd SA boy either with our final pick or by matching a late bid and we already have a deal in place with a club for a 2027 3rd or 4th rounder if we need any points to match the bid (but the club doesn’t expect this to be required as it’s likely in this draft Kellaway slides to rookie selection if we don’t take him)

Anyway my sources are always pretty good (check my history, I broke the news on the Bolton deal last season). Take it for what it is worth and obviously a bit of time for things to change but that’s what I know so far. (Also if u watch Gettable last week, Robey says tigers were the last team to show interest and my understanding is with Lalor and Smillie we don’t think he fits our list)

Hey Richmond fans sorry to intrude but surely this is waffle, like there’s no way Richmond is passing up on Robey ? ITK gimmick in 2025, like he’s only reported that Shai Bolton is going to Fremantle and every man and their dog knew that was happening anyway.
Why would Richmond draft Sharp, when you got Smilie? How is Robey not fitting in with Lalor and Smilie but Sharp does, plus Cumming as well? He’s a similar profile to Lalor. Why would also Richmond only want a future second rounder from Essendon when they’d like demand a future first from us and twomey any way said it’s unlikely Melbourne Essendon Richmond snd west coast trade their early selections.

Robey doesn't fit our needs because we drafted Smillie and Lalor???
Why then are we getting Sharp, who is more like Smillie?

they get attention either way, outcome is always going to be bored fans talking in circles, it's literally what drives Twomey's career

 

[Serenitylater]

Robey/sharp combo
DO IT

 

[Michaels]

Could the Dees steal Robey from us on draft night?

seen some chat about the Eagles wanting to shift pick 13 up higher, and the Dees were one of the first who were locked onto Robey.

Maybe they make a play?

 

[Danog]

I have emailed this to Rosa, I have told him to not trade pick 5+F2 for 4 for Robey/CDT because you aren't taking them anyway.

Can't wait for them to not trade because of you, then we take Robey / CDT at 4

 

[Milanista28]

Can't wait for them to not trade because of you, then we take Robey / CDT at 4

But then you failed at getting Cumming, who you desperately wanted.

 

[Charlie Pannam]

There's something about Sharp I love and am stoked with this "news". Makes sense to bundle the SA boys too. I think Robey lacks footy IQ and may become frustrating to watch. I prefer smart players. There's something special about Sharp. I said it last year about M. Reid and I've got a similar sense about Sharp. The rule changes favour players who "can play" (smart and skilful) even when they lack high end athleticism. Great teams are built around hard work, humbleness and good leadership. I really hope this is true and thanks for the gossip!

Question for those who don't want Sharp/Cumming...what are your main concerns with these players?

I wouldn't be gambling on high upside players too much in this draft. The question marks are too significant around basically every risky selection for mine. And the SA boys are bankable.

my knock on Sharp, is footskills, athleticism and hurt factor. I think he’ll be a good AFL player, but I’m not in the camp of taking the safe/ conservative pick in this draft.
Cumming is a good player, more athleticism and hurt factor than Sharp, but there’s a couple I’d prefer at 3/4.
I get your point re gambling with high upside, but you need to be looking at putting a list together that’s going to be delivering you silverware in 3-4 years. You gotta go X-factor and flare, you can get safe/reliable options like Sharp in most drafts.

Dribbling rumours = sticking your neck out?

I apologise profusely to its_all_good1243 for risking their 40 posts of credibility while providing the wrong players name or attributing quotes to Robey that he didn’t actually say

 

[Danog]

Interesting use of "we" here. If "we" desperately want him, we just pick him at 4

 

[Milanista28]

We do a deal with Melbourne then at get him at pick 7

We'll take him, pretty sure we're keen on him and Sharp.

 

[Milanista28]

Exactly, so we don't need to trade you 5 for our target who you aren't taking, according to your ITK poster.

Our ITK poster has been wrong several times. Sharp and Robey I'd be fine with.

 

[tugga]

I'm warming to best available and Xavier Taylor just looks like a 200 gamer.

Don’t be logical. It has no place in discussion on this board. I agree with you that it does not make much sense to overlook CDT or Robey if they’re available. Sharp looks like a one pace midfielder who will in my opinion just be another midfield work horse, not a star. I’m with Twomey here. No trades between WC, Richmond, Essendon and Melbourne will occur. Unless a future first rounder is involved.
