List Mgmt. 2025 AFL Draft - Draft Analysis

[Mr Magic]

These trades are so delusional and every supporter from any of the other 17 teams would just laugh.

3 went 12 and 14 last year - for Jagga Smith, who would be unanimous pick 1 this year.

Imagine our reaction to 3 and 4 for 1 or 2 lol.

Giving up pick 9 to move up 1 spot is hilarious. Some of the trades in the first round to move up 1 spot:

Essendon gave up pick 31 to move up from COS at 11 to Caddy at 10

Brisbane gave up pick 16 to move from Taranto at 3 to Mccluggage at 2.

Pick 35 and a third rounder to move up from Ben King at 6 to Rozee at 5.



Other trades in the first round:
Pick 23 and 30 to move up from 11 to 6.
Pick 18 to move from from pick 12 to 6.
Pick 26 to move from Melbourne's future 1st to pick 8.
Pick 28 to move from 10 to 8.
Future 2nd to move from pick 14 to 12

Only trade that's remotely in the same stratosphere is GWS trading a future first to move up from pick 6 to pick 4 in the 2019 draft, by offering a future 1st after making the grand final. Maybe if Harley Reid was at pick 4, and the talent then dropped to Noah Cumberland at 5 they'd do this.

Maybe we can get Harley Reid for a future fourth rounder?

We'd get a future 2nd, or pick 21 if Essendon don't trade for pick 9, if Melbourne or Essendon want to trade up 1-4 spots.

you do not support Richmond, I believe, so you would write that.

spky1234 as in spy123...?

they can laugh, RFC are in prime position and do not have to budge

Richmond also hasn’t won a flag in 45 years that wasn’t coached by a Essendon player (Hardwick)

theres a difference between 69 years and 45 champ

 

[BAFLD]

Don’t budge Richmond. Take Robey and Cumming.

Learnt everything he knew from Sheeds though

 

[Azzleberry]

Using a draft simulator it currently sits at 33 with GWS & Melbourne ahead of us. Depending on them bidding it could move out a couple of spots. As far as the open pool goes it ends up being around 21-25

Open pool pick of 21-25 for Tylar Young lol... #inblairwetrust

 

[Toadvine]

I had a dream that we had a secret handshake deal with the Dees for them to trade up for Robey. It was kept hush hush to prevent the bummers trying to leapfrog by doing a deal with WCE.

We ended up with XT, Cumming and Farrow.

[fightingfury]

Don’t budge Richmond. Take Robey and Cumming.

Still don’t see us taking both, I gotta feeling we just love XT too much and we’re waiting for the bombers or dees to blink so we can get that third player.

Anyway thank god it’ll be over tonight, no more mock drafts

 

[dean33]

I’m praying we don’t trade either of our two early picks. Please Blair, don’t give other clubs a look in at the better players, just take the two we rate highest.

What if it resulted in cumming, Taylor and grlj? Think thats worth sacrificing robey and 1 of the above for.

Why don’t we sacrifice cumming and get Robey, Taylor and Grlj?

 

[el_simo]

Not sure where the idea that cumming has poor disposal is coming from.
Both him and Robey have awkward styles but make the work for the most part. If anything I think cumming has the edge on Robey.

 

[dean33]

Why don’t we sacrifice cumming and get Robey, Taylor and Grlj?

Depends who essendon want out of cumming and robey i suppose.

 

[tiger_tough]

In all seriousness tiger fans, idk what it is but everytime we select someone affiliated with Richmond it’s always cash money, wether it be Durham, Mass, Sheedy.

Ummmm....

 

[tigs2010]

 

[tiger_tough]

Happy melt down day campaigners

 

[Michaels]

Compared to
Robey , Cumming , Phillipou ?

Equally as happy! Probably favour your list more

 

[fargothegreat]

Why do you guys all suddenly think we're gonna split our picks? Still most likely just gonna pick at 7 and 8.

boredom I think lol

 

[fargothegreat]

boredom I think lol

If we were gonna do a trade with Essendon or Melbourne they would have blabbed to Twomey by now.

 

[voorhees]

got to love draft day...
last year was a draft man's wet dream with out bag of picks.
Need to continue that fire tonight and smack a home run with our picks.
Time to shine recruitment team...do your job boys.

 

[Truetiger]

Nah, need some more entertainment during the broadcast. lol

You’d think any split would be arranged pre draft clubs know wc are taking duursma cdt, not gonna be any shocks before our picks

 

[Calcium Man]

Why do you guys all suddenly think we're gonna split our picks? Still most likely just gonna pick at 7 and 8.

I assume it’s because Cal said we don’t want other clubs to know who we are picking.

Given it’s the 3rd and 4th open pick, teams would probably have a fair idea like they do with wce (and to be fair it seems it’s between 3 players for 2 picks), so the most compelling reason imo for being cagey is to hope Bombers/Dees panic Norf style and offer an exorbitant trade.

The only other reason I can think of is either Blair is a troll or sees it as a mark of professional pride not to leak.

 

[Mr Magic]

Why don’t we sacrifice cumming and get Robey, Taylor and Grlj?

nah, if there is any sacrificing it would be Robey in my book . but that is just me.

Assuming that is who Essendon really do want which is not a given.

that is why I would select Cumming at 3, depending on what West Coast does.

If CDT is there could be CDT Cumming, simples which is the combination I had but I assume WC selects CDT

no need to trade two picks out because that just means Essendon want two and are not happy with their 5 and 6 and who they might get

 

[petro12]

Wakey wakey hands of snakey. Footy Christmas has arrived. What’s Santa Hart going to bring us this year..
