From the Roar Deal today it sounds like Robertson and Prior are good mates. Should help them settle in.

I found it interesting that they weren’t billeted together. But they’re both in with really professional players.

I wonder who Brock Smith is living with.

Looked like Skinner picked him up from the airport. So probably him

Interesting footage of Melbourne during day 1 of the draft.

Some quotes from some of the Melbourne recruiting team regarding Robertson:

"Very good player, very good player"

"He'll prove them all wrong too, I think" (with regards to him sliding)

"What doesn't polarise is the way he plays, and what everyone says about him as a leader. And his ability to play under duress."

Supposedly Richmond got offers involving first round picks for their pick 22 in an attempt to move up too.

Really enjoy these videos. Great to see how clubs are thinking and talking about trades

Gees I wish we got that trade done for Rivers.

Don’t know what our trade offer to North would have looked like.

We could have left the draft with 3 WA boys.

Having to count out 28 to 31 to figure out how many picks are between the two is uninspiring.
