From Anderson's phantom would love Brander, then it'd be great if constable slid would be a great pick up as you can never have too many gun mid prospects (we certainly don't). Brander, Constable, Balta and Naish would be a phenomenal result

Constable seems to me one of those very solid players you'll get 200 games out of. I'm really warming to taking him at 17 or 20 if he's still there. Good bang for buck at that range

Great size.
Poor athleticism.

Not every player needs to be a great athlete though. His testing was very similar to Cripps I read earlier. He's just a pure footballer

Is that why we went with Lemmon over Cripps?
The most illogical pick under Hardwick.
Needed a KPF or an inside midfielder
Draft a mid sized half forward with no speed; the next two picks an inside midfielder pretty decent player and a KPF also a decent player that wouldn't have wanted to go home if he played for the Tiger boys.

From Andersons draft all I would do is swap Bailey for Taylor/Balta. IMO we've got a perfect chance to load up on some young talls and get Naish. Mids can be picked up anywhere and don't take as long to develop as talls do. Getting in the 3 talls will balance out the list and allow us to start developing these kids for when Jack and Rance retire in 4-5 years time.
Friday night get me
Brander 195cm 93kg KPP
Taylor 196cm 87kg KPD/Balta 195cm 95kg KPP
Coleman-Jones 201cm 99kg Ruck/Forward
Naish 180cm 70kg Midfielder/Flanker
Appleby 187cm 81kg Defender

Definitely have done extremely well in the drafts since 2013. Last year was the stand out, couldn't have done much better with our picks.
More of the same this year hopefully.

Pick 17 - Constable
Pick 20 - Brander
Pick 25 - Balta
Pick whatever - Naish
Also don't mind the sound of Coleman-Jones and Hayes as they would fit a need in the long run.
Still, I hope the club drafts at least one inside mid and at least 2 talls to try and build the next foundation.

Article on the Sun website saying Naish likely to be after our first 3 picks. Also says we could get Brander at 17. Even suggests Stephenson could be there

Might be something to that. I mentioned this last week: he's slid BIG TIME on a number of watchers' lists. Something's not right.

From the same reporter who said Naish would cost 2 first rounders.
RICHMOND is set to be spared a difficult draft call on Patrick Naish with the Tigers likely to secure three top-25 talents before a bid arrives on the father-son prospect. The Tigers will target tall players at Friday night’s draft and using picks 17, 20 and 25 before matching a bid for Naish would be a dream finale to a premiership year.
Richmond has been nervous that an early bid would come after five clubs visited Naish’s home during the season and then Fremantle also interviewed him at draft combine.
But queries on whether the outside midfielder can win his own ball should help Richmond secure the son of 143-game Tiger Chris Naish at a cheaper price. Naish’s junior career failed Champion Data’s “Magic Number” rule. That states that draft prospects who win less than 30 per cent of their possessions contested usually struggle in the AFL. Naish recorded a contested possession rate of 27 per cent from 32 matches. He averaged 22 possessions for Vic Metro this year, but only 4.5 contested.
A bunch of high draft picks have failed to kick on after recording similar numbers — James Aish, Billy Hartung, Cale Morton and Jimmy Toumpas. By contrast, No. 1 favourite Cameron Rayner won an impressive 53 per cent of his junior disposals contested across 29 matches. Rayner and top-five pick Paddy Dow went at 60 per cent at the national championships.
Naish only cracked 100 SuperCoach points in four of his 32 matches. But he boasts a beautiful right foot and was the No. 1 metres gained player at the national championships. Naish’s average of 516m was 105m better than the next player as he impressed some recruiters with his natural dare and offensive run.
Tigers coach Damien Hardwick has also shown the ability to reprogram outside players. This year Brandon Ellis went from an uncontested player to one who could win his own ball and use it aggressively. While Naish can sometimes bite off too much by foot, one recruiter said he had a raking kick and would “look good in (our) jumper”.
Naish’s two younger brothers- Xavier, 16 and Charlie, 12 — are also hopeful of playing for Richmond. The diehard Richmond fan kicked 10.3 in his 100th junior match and has trained at Punt Rd the past two summers.
Naish grew up idolising Brett Deledio. He sat in the MCG stands watching Richmond’s premiership after recording 21 disposals at 90 per cent efficiency in the curtain-raiser. He would add a lick of class to Richmond’s existing pressure and grunt.
The Tigers could secure sliding swingman Jarrod Brander at pick 17 on Friday night. Top-five prospect Jaidyn Stephenson might also be available as clubs reassess his heart condition.
