Rivers has also been as high 28 on some draft boards. I would love either one of Sharp,Rivers. or Taylor to go with Henry and our two early picks. I know its not likely. But Henry is still a late first rounder 16-18 on quite a few draft boards. If he was to last to say Richmonds first pick then we could probably do a deal in live trading where we offer pick 22 a future Melbourne second and the Collingwood future third in exchange for getting the richmond pick and the equivalent points with later picks to be able to still get Henry.
Darcy will be fine, get a full preseason into him. Last year he missed most of preseason due to injury. People should remember the game against Port when he tore Lycett & Ryder apart and won us the game.
Stephens for me
I read bigfooty, absorb the group think and and fall in love with a player. I listen to the draft and my heart fills with relief each time my beloved is overlooked by a rival club. He couldn't possibly fall to us, the rival club with the pick before us calls out a different name and I experience pure joy, like a dream where everything is right with the world. Then a little thought pops up. Fremantle still has to call out Jesus Christs' player number. Unlikely but within the realms of possibility. What if they don't? Joy is gone and I'm back in hell.
I wouldn't think so.
I rate Jackson higher than Robertson. Wouldn't mind Robertson later, but I would take Jackson and Henry before Robertson. FWIW.
If he is bid on at 8 or 9 then it suggests that some recruiters don't think he is too expensive at 8 or 9. He is too expensive in your eyes, which is ok.
Who would you pick first ahead of Henry? Considering a bid of 8 or 9 means we would use pick 10. If Henry is 10-12 on our list I’d pick him. If he is further back, then I’d understand us passing on him.
