List Mgmt. 2025 AFL Draft - The Final Countdown

[fargothegreat]

We won't be taking Taylor at pick 3.

Might get him at pick 7 or 8 though.

 

[tiger_tough]

Tbh I can't remember what position(s) Daniel played in his draft year?

He was a small forward. Was a late bolter after elite combine testing.

 

[HumanMeatball]

Looks very likely we see robey and Taylor with our picks

 

[DeseRigs]

I compared our likely picks to the RookieMe player comparisons. Looks a good haul.

I just did the draft simulator and really like this outcome for us:

Trade 3 with Melbourne for 7 and Gold Coasts future first. Later futures may be required as part of this but too hard to predict.

Trade Gold coasts future first and 38 for Carlton’s first pick this year and something later on next year. Gold coasts first would be sought after by Carlton to help them get Cody Walker.

Then the draft goes like this:

1- WC - Duursma
2- GC Uwland
3- WC CDT
4 - GC Patterson
5 - Bris Annable
6- Melb Robey
7 - Rich X Taylor (with a choice of cumming or sharp if we went that way instead)
8- Carl - Dean
9 - Ess - Sharp
10 - Ess - Cumming
11 - Rich - Grlj
12- Melb - Nairn
13 - Rich - Philipou

Get Kellaway later on.

Thoughts?

Personally, in that scenario i'm trading our second not our first pick.

But let's say we do it as you suggested, i'd pick Sharp or Cumming or Grill over Taylor. If Taylor is still there at 13 we can get him, or whoever else has slid.

 

[copthat]

All I know from reading this thread is there is going to be some top tier melting on draft night.

Last year we had a million picks so got most players we were all keen on, plus took advantage of sliders in Trainor and Armstrong and the night ended with Blair sexually assaulting Brady Rawlings

This year we have rucks, mids, bolters v best performed, third talls, mid/fwds all with some question marks, all different players and have to squeeze them into 2 picks.

Gonna be mayhem.

 

[prodigy]

I've now moved firmly into the camp of splitting one of our picks. I think that's likely because I want to stop us from picking Xavier Taylor though.
Nothing against the kid but there will be others like him.

 

[sregit]

If he was bid on say essnedons end of first round compo pick would that be classified as 1st round or 2nd round deficit?

I’m not sure.

In that scenario we take Robey and dangle the CDT carrot.

Bullshit. Take CDT.

Thoughts?

That’s crap. 3 players (Dursma, CDT & Robey) standout above the rest. So you want to ignore getting one for speculative picks.

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

what is this obsession with burning top 5 picks on a third defender?

I thought it was a total crock, but people are actually putting money behind it..

I'm so depressed now.

If they do that, then I guess it demonstrates the feelings about what will be available for us.

Probably a draft where you couldn’t trade out of 3 and 4. Future picks would be hard to find. If you’re stuck with the picks, you’ve gotta take someone.

 

[Michaels]

Sam Allen should be firmly in our sights with our pick in the 30s

 

[ivansarmy]

That’s crap. 3 players (Dursma, CDT & Robey) standout above the rest. So you want to ignore getting one for speculative picks.

If Robey is that far above the three we picked then fair enough and you wouldn’t do it.

I’m just not sure our recruiters see it that way and if they have shown a lot of interest in Philipou as reported there may be something in it.

Quick skillful players e.g Daicos brothers and Merrett are as valuable as anyone they way the game is played at the moment so if the recruiters saw Grlj and Philipou as having potential to be in the same mould as those guys I’m not sure it’s that speculative.

Lalor, Smillie, Mcaulife,Hotton, Grlj, Philipou looks pretty exciting to me on top of what we’d bring in next year.

 

[THE_GUN]

Why have I never heard of anyone talking about Nairn?

Because Twomeny never said he was

99% of footy forums and even media use his info as gospel

Even though people keep throwing around trade-down scenarios, the fact is the 3 mentioned are by general consensus the top 3 talents in the draft. It does not mean with hindsight that they’ll be top 3 but Richmond has a distinct lack of star footballers and we need to select those that are deemed to have the most upside. For us that will be CDT or Robey. Whoever WC overlook.

He also plays in a league stuck behind a paywall.

Pick 68 - Louis Kellaway

 

[Calcium Man]

I’m just not sure our recruiters see it that way and if they have shown a lot of interest in Philipou as reported there may be something in it.

Reported by Jevan himself with no surrounding context of how much that interest/effort compared to the effort exerted on the likes of Grlj/XT/Robey/Sharp/Cumming etc…

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

Is he a reach at pick 8 though? Seems to me to be one of the few players (mids) that have speed, agility, marking power and is dual sided, has positional flexibility too. Reckon he projects as one of the top prospects and maybe missing a chance at the Champs is why he's rated in the teens.

Maybe part of Toce's legacy, he certainly would have been scoped as the 15yo younger brother of Mattaes at the time.

Looks an interesting prospect but also seems a bit full of himself. And whether him divulging our interest in him would be appreciated, I don’t know.

Much discussion here about Blight’s attitude, I wonder if this guy is similar.

Twoomey has been pretty certain that we take CDT at 3 if he gets past WCE

 

[strauchy]

That hint the other day from a poster saying our wish list looks a hell of a lot different to what the general consensus is has me thinking Jevan is right up there. I urge you to watch his youtube highlights and tell me what would be an issue with taking him early ?

He does look quite good.

Although, if we are so keen on him, why wouldn't we trade that pick back into the teens to get him, or someone similiar with an extra future 1st or something decent back. A top 5 pick is extremely valuable.

When the general consensus is that Jevan's draft range is pick 15-25. It would be more of a reach than Reece Conca.

 

[tiger_tough]

On ya Hicksy

 

[Grockadoc]

I would really like CDT. Has grown 3 cm, to be 202 now, as opposed to the nank sized 199 cm. His lack of physicality is no longer as big a drawback with the new ruck rules and his mobility, follow up efforts and ability to go forward make him a nice prospect to pair with Sims long term.

If he is there, I think we take him.

At the moment he is not invited to draft night so he ain't going in the top 10. If he scores a late invite next week then look out.
