List Mgmt. 2025 AFL Draft - Top 10 Candidates

[RobsJourney]

The word is we are spending a lot of time talking to O Taylor. I cant imagine a pick 2 or 3 for him so is a split on the cards ? I am lead to believe we really like him and he is a focus.

Sooo... another half back.

 

[tigs2010]

Sooo... another half back.

We don't really have any rebounding defenders...

Banks & Smith, maybe Brown could change roles.

True, but I wouldn't be using top picks on one when we still need young gun mids.

 

[Mr Magic]

I totally agree, and I don't believe we will split as the chance of getting en elite player does diminish every selection you drop back. That's not in question. But the narrative some seem to have whereby there's an expectation a top-5 pick delivers an elite player is just not close to the reality.

So if the club thinks picks 4-8 are pretty even, and we are a good chance to get our preferred option at #8 anyway, it's a no-brainer to split if another club thinks #4 will get them a much better player than #8 and will pay 'overs' for that opportunity.

ATEOTD, if we have 4-5 x players we rate as clearly superior to 6+, we won't split. If we rate only 3 x players as clearly superior and have a 'blanket' over the next group, we'd listen to offers.

there is more to this.

draft now and get others later.

if we stuff up the draft going back harder to get good recruitments in later years like in 2-3 years because better payers want to play with better players and increase their chances to win

the fact we have a chance to pick up two guns in this draft plus what we got last year is a great opportunity where if we get it right our possibilities increase significantly down the track

 

[sregit]

Not sure anyone is suggesting trading #4 for 2 x rubbish picks. It's for a couple of top-12 picks.

% chance of getting a 200-gamer:
pick 3 to 5 = 36%
pick 6 to 12 = 31%

% chance of getting an AA selection:
pick 3 to 5 = 29%
pick 6 to 12 = 19%

So it's not a clear cut decision based purely on stats and averages. It really depends on how we rate the draft. And when looking at some of the names taken at #4 : Tim Walsh, McAlister, J Pickett, Fitzy, Morabito, Toumpas, Livingston, C Morton, Polak, M Bolton, Tambling.......

Let's not pretend whomever we pick at #4 is any sort of lock to be superior to both players we pick from 6 to 12. History tells us #4 is a pretty good chance of not being an elite player. I accept #4 is more chance of being elite than #7 who is more chance than #10 and so on.....but that's why we get 2 x picks versus 1.

Right now, hand on heart, I'd rather have Robey, X Taylor AND Grjl over just Robey and Sharp.

Yes I’d rather the 3 players also but no club is giving us 2 two top 15 picks for our pick 4.

 

[Grockadoc]

Grockadoc do you have any info who we might be looking at? Your intel on Faull last year was spot on

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, we have been linked to players like Lindsay, Sharp, Cumming, Robey, Marsh and Grlj. Nothing definitive this year as the club are playing this close to their chest, and outside of a ruckman and some outside run, there really isn't a glaring list deficiency.

 

[tigs2010]

True, but I wouldn't be using top picks on one when we still need young gun mids.

I wouldn't use top 4 on a outside half back but if we split I think that's an option.

Smillie, Lalor, Hotton, McAuliffe & pick 3 plus Armstrong next year

And Van Dyke.

[Michaels]

Now hear me out...

IF Tylar Young does get traded out, we MUST draft Harley Barker to solve our long term wing issues.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Was a little underwhelmed with X.Taylor's game, even though previous highlights were impressive. Reckon we really need to focus on our midfield, Robey, Sharp, Grilj, Cummings etc

Robey a mid?

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Sully broke his collarbone halfway through the Cannons game. Tough unit

Thats from the Robey camp.
Officially it was just a bruise.

 

[tigs2010]

The word start with wr and ends in ong brahhhh

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

This kid is special.

I said he reminded me of Jarrod Berry…I actually see more Hugh Mcluggage in his game.

How do I change my vote on this poll?

I chose to take Sullivan Robey with both picks.

He'll go 1

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

The word start with wr and ends in ong brahhhh

Wodonga?

 

[tigs2010]

Wodonga?

I hate to break it to you but...wrong

Clearly our midfield is a deficiency. North absolutely flogged us in the midfield at the end of the year and we had zero AFL listed mids in the VFL at the end of the year. Must be a priority.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

If we don't draft Robey
We might as well
Just close the whole
Club

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

There's a place named wrongdonga?

 

[SA_Tiger11]

At this stage if we dont draft Robey ill probably just start going for whoever drafts him

Sadly I think Norf will take him with their first pick.










Hold my beer.

Agree.
Would take Barker if we can

 

[Wavvey]

Don’t think we are in any position to draft where we are drafting for needs. Best player available every single pick and then see what we have got to fix later.

 

[guruisatiger]

What happens if West Coast select Robey before us, does that mean West Coast forced Richmond to close?

Obviously not .can't draft someone if there already drafted

 

[guruisatiger]

Sooo... another half back.

A very good half back
We can get him
With the pick we
Get for training young
