Not with us hopefully.Update from the cousin...
Trent Bianco was interviewed by the Bombers today.
Given they don't have a pick early enough to get him, they may be looking at live trading.

I am surprised Essendon won't be asking for 2 x 1 st round picks for next years pick!Not sure who'd be interested in swapping the first rounder this year for one next year to be honest...

Because I disagree with you I am defeatist, LOL. It wouldn't give them more points try again. Our future third 55

They may be hoping he drifts to pick 20-23 then offer 31 & 33 for that selection.Not sure who'd be interested in swapping the first rounder this year for one next year to be honest...
GWS or Gold Coast will not trade with Richmond unless it is in their favour.
If you believe otherwise then:
- Stop drinking the Essendon Koolaid
- Stop pulling the Christmas Pudding
what about when its in their favour and our favour or do we prefer the lazy approach off field??

Probably just doing their due diligence in the unlikely event that this transpires.
You only trade up if you want to get a certain player not for the sake of it. To get the pick off GWS we need to do it 30 picks ahead, so we’d have no idea who’s going to be there.
Your like an ADD kid that just has to do something. Guess what! Waiting and taking our picks is doing something. Stop with your stupid hypotheticals that yield absolute no benefit to the club.

Cal Twomey's 2019 Phantom Draft: Top 30, your club's whispers
Who will your club take in this year's NAB AFL Draft? Our guru makes the callwww.afl.com.au

COOPER STEPHENS
POS: Midfielder
Ht 188cm, Wt 83kg, DOB 17/1/01
From Geelong Falcons/Vic Country
DRAFT PROFILE Bio, stats, highlights and more
Stephens is right in Richmond's mix and fits the prototype of the Tigers: hard, contested and tough. It would have been interesting to see where Stephens went in this year's draft had he played all season, because you get the sense he would have dominated as a big, strong inside midfielder. Nevertheless, he has overcome the broken leg that ruined his draft campaign and he returned to star at the Draft Combine and show his wares. The midfielder has good hands in close and opponents find it hard to stop him around the ball. Could be a steal at this point of the draft.
If not him? Midfielders Jay Rantall and Trent Bianco are in the mix for the Tigers, as are Harrison Jones and Sam De Koning. They could be the club that bids on Hawks father-son Finn Maginness.
Would take either at First pick no hesitation, don't think we will get the chance. De Koning could be anything, 200cm and athletic abilities off the chart, could be a Key forward, back or ruck. Day is super silky, once his body develops look out.
Was hearing all week it would be Trent Rivers at our pick, but hearing there could be a more fancied player drop that we weren't expecting. Pickett rising and Freo bypassing Robertson could shuffle a few things. From what i've mapped out, I wonder if that player is De Koning or Worrell? I expect more info to be flooding in by around 5 or 6pm....
We will get a very good player regardless.
if De Koning is available at Richmonds first pick, that wouldn't be unexpected, would it (?)
seems to be rated around 20-30 (?)
A month ago, whispers were he had gone into Port or Geelong's picks before us. Robertson dropping may release him to fall. won't be a massive fall but I didnt think he would get through.
200cm bloke who is athletically gifted, good below his knees, reads the play well and has above average skills... he's only discovering his height as he had a massive growth spurt of 15 cm or something crazy recently. I feel at a good club who can develop him, he can be anything. Long term Astbury replacement?
I wouldnt be totally upset if we selected De Koning with pick #22 , He has massive upside both as a foward & defender but he is a beautiful mark and reads the play well.
There will be mids available with our later picks that will slide but Brock Smith & Sam De Koning is a great start to building our future defence post Astbury/Houli
No issue if we do take De Koning.Makes sense in a way considering we loaded up last year with mid types.Exactly. We need a developing tall KPP and De Koning has as many tools as any in this draft. Loses nothing in comparison to McAsey in my eyes. He's not the athletic freak that Darcy Moore is (few are) but has the potential to develop on similar lines to Harris Andrews or Alex Pearce as a 200cm key back.
His brother is coming along at Carlton and should see more game time with Curnow out.
Watch the bloos swap pick 9 for 20 just to take De Koning before us.All the phantoms have us taking Cooper Stephens so we must be going to take him, just like we took Stocker last year
Pathetic is the word.Also, the draft profiles this year has been pathetic. Half the players don't have highlight videos, and the ones that do are like a minute long and don't even show anything. You can't find them on YouTube either..
Recruiters dont talk to noone. Has to get his info from somewhere.reckon he listened to our podcast last night based on those predictions!
even down to the Hawks Father-son bid, crazy stuff.
Great result for us.... Would love Brock Smith in our backline.Richmond: Cooper Stephens, Dyson Hilder, Brock Smith, Jack Mahony, Ryan Byrnes

2019 Draft Central Phantom Draft
THE 2019 AFL National Draft is just a couple of days away and it is clear that trying to work out which clubs favour which players is incredibly difficult given the evenness of the draft crop outside the first round. Even inside the first round, preferences will play a huge role in where players...afl.draftcentral.com.au
2019 AFL Draft Preview: Richmond Tigers
I would not have ranked Suns 1. There is zero expectation on them. Fremantle & Adelaide & Saints & North have changed coaches. Essendon is changing next year. Top of the list is Dees & Port.Pressure gauge ladder: The clubs who can’t afford to flop at the AFL draft

on the wrong thread anyhow....needle in the haystack here. Trying to find our draft picks, buried at the arse end of it allThese blow ins who lob at the end of the season to bask in the reflected glory of a premiership are annoying.
Delahunty with the last pick would have been a better fitGreat result for us.... Would love Brock Smith in our backline.
