There doesn't seem to be many trade hypotheticals in this thread so Id thought id have a go.
I thinks Jack Watts would be a very good value recruit for Richmond. His best is stilly very good in my view, but I don't think he has a ton of trade value.
So: How about:
Richmond trade Pick 17 to Melbourne in exchange for Pick 27 and Watts.
Richmond then trade Pick 27 and Miles to Gold Coast for Pick 22.
Pick 22 should still guarantee them Naish even if there is an earlier than anticipated bid on him as not many experts have Naish in the top 15 players in terms of ratings.
Melbourne could then trade picks 10 and 17 to get the deal done for Lever.
I think Melbourne fans dramatically underestimate how good Lever is and how much risk there is of teams swooping in if they offer a significant deal from the get go to recruit Lever. (Like Melbourne did when Freo stuffed up the Clark trade a few years ago).
Richmond could then still take pick 15 to the draft while gaining needed help for J.Riewolt in their Premiership defence before the draft even happens.
Im ny view this would be a win for all clubs involved. Gold Coast also gain some protection for their young inside mids with the addition of Miles.
