Analysis 2025 Draft watch

They’ll bid on the player at pick 1 if they know the nominated club doesn’t have the picks to match

Agreed, that's a different story. But I reckon Port will be getting the picks they need by letting go of Butters.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

I think that's very wishful thinking. You can demolish an opponent's draft hand, by bidding at 1. That's big incentive for an opposition club. Much more incentive than getting your draftee an extra 10k.

If Cochrane and Cody are standouts one of them will get the bid. Also, depending on what they do with the bidding system, whoever has top pick could actually grab either player, if the club tied to them can't match.

It's not wishful thinking... it's the way I see it happening.

If I'm wrong... then I'm wrong. Don't care.

Either way, both Cochrane and Walker will be getting bid on very early next year.

I think even if they're the two clear standouts, Cochrane will take the first bid ahead of Walker.

Worst case scenario is obv if Walker is bid on at pick 1... 2700 points is very hard to match and that's with the current rules...

 

[TENACIOUS]

My Preference is for: Dovaston, Pickett, Grlj, Farrow, Marsh or Lindsay

DO NOT want Uwland or Annable under any circumstances.

I think we’ll take Harry Dean with our first pick

 

[choo]

I think it’s good news too.

But I also think it may have a negative side too given Port will now be hunting more picks in the same way we are, so it’s good we got the jump on them with Sydney’s first.

Port will have the 3 Butters picks

If they want the player presumably

According to a post on the D&T Board, the Tiges have told their coteries that they will bid on Dean if West Coast don't.

 

[Bfevola]

So Tiges bidding just for fun i presume? I reckon the AFL should impose a point deduction for having the right to bid for a player not attached to them. Kind of like buying a lottery ticket to be able to enter into a race or chance to win something. Nothing major but enough for a deterrent for fake bids. And if they get the player if comes off the total of the points.

Hopefully after bids on a couple of academy players first making it around pick 6 or 7.

I find it interesting that certain Tiges supporters are obsessed with bidding on our FS to make us pay up. Considering we have never had any advantage from this system, compared to GC and Brisbane who are about to get another 3 top 6 picks between them after making finals.

I thought there'd be more resentment towards them then us.

Really makes no sense from a list build perspective after taking Trainor last year and having plenty of talls.

They are feeling aggrieved that Cody Walker did the worst thing to them and chose his father’s club. Pricks.

Every Richmond supporter I’ve spoken to about Dean and bidding, still drags up the Chris Yarran trade as “proof” we’re bad-faith operators. It’s like mate… that was a decade ago under a different regime, and you’ve won three drought-breaking flags since then.

We all have to own our histories.

I still hold a deep grudge with North Melbourne FC and umpire Allen over the diabolical chain of events that led to us forfeiting the 1904 VFA Grand Final.

I wouldn't read too much into Richmond delisting 2 key defenders, Blight and Koschitzke, and trading out a third in Tylar Young to make way for Dean on our list. It is just probably a big coincidence.

Anyway, we already got you back for Yarran by fooling dumbarse Silvagni into trading up to get ahead of our picks for Philp and Stocker. I often feel terrible about that.

Particularly since they poached Yarran

Paid unders for him on the surface. SOS tried to get more. If you discount his unknown issues, was worth alot more then the Tigers pick we got.

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

So looks like the Dovaston dream is over

 

[bradfisher14]

So looks like the Dovaston dream is over

Why?

 

[stochastic]

Even when Daicos was coming through he slipped to 4. Father sons have always slipped a few picks below where they should actually be drafted. But as soon as the blues have a top 10 talent, everyone wants to make us pay, its crazy.

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

Why?

Doesn’t a Richmond bid on Dean rule us out with our picks getting eaten up?

 

[Donflicted]

Doesn’t a Richmond bid on Dean rule us out with our picks getting eaten up?

Also means that you may not have enough points to match Ison if Tigers bid

 

[JJBagger]

Doesn’t a Richmond bid on Dean rule us out with our picks getting eaten up?

Our second pick gets moved down. A Richmond bid still could be around pick 6

 

[marcmurphy3]

It depends where it is. Big difference between 4-7. Although I personally think our pick slides to far regardless.

Find someone in life who looks at you
the same way that Jevan Phillipou looks at Jevan Phillipou.

 

[carlton_99]

Richmond can bid on him. Just bid on the others first please
