If Laird takes as a midfielder, I think the only course of action is to do all that we can to retain Laird.

If he can maintain current form, the benefit of holding Laird over Crouch's is he can play multiple roles and doesn't necessarily hog a starting midfield spot for 80%+ game time each week. He also provides far more defensive pressure than the Crouch's who went to the Dangerfield school of defensive action...

My thinking.
Jack Graham out of contract - very little - nothing - pick 62 or 74 if we're desperate

CCJ contracted 2021 - contracted and a list need depending if Thilthorpe is truly not our N0.1 focus- pick 42, if we desperately want him pick 27 providing we're not taking Thilthorpe.

Agreed. I like CCJ but wouldn't be forking out a heap for him. Realistically not worth a heap more than Frampton at this stage.

Graham appears to very much have reached his ceiling, which was the big concern predraft. Wouldn't be against drafting him, but again, its a later pick.

Realistically we need to be targeting guys with genuine A-Grade to Elite potential, not on filling our list with solid role players. This means focusing on getting 6-7 top 20 picks in the next 2 drafts, 3 of which ideally are in the top 5.
 
I wouldn't be using seconds on them, the Collingwood and Freo thirds should do. Graham isn't best 22 yet at the tigers and is out of contract, CCJ looks to be forth in line for ruck and not getting a look in with Lynch and Riewoldt up forward.
Agree. I don't think Richmond rate him, having let Balta and Chol who were both rookie picks, jump ahead of him.

They might be happy to lose the contract.

Balta was a second round pick.

We won’t have anything left in the cupboard to bid on Edwards/Newchurch (not sure of Borlase’s value) if we throw out our third rounders on recycles like Graham.

I am crossing my fingers we’ll get and end of third round compo pick for Atkins, although unlikely.

We'd easily get that for Atkins - even CEY was better than that. End of second should be the hope.

If Edwards goes at pick 30, you can get him for two selections in the 50s.

There is no end of 3rd round band. Anyway, for us end of 2nd round band or 3rd round band are pretty much the same thing.

CEY got a 3 or 4 year deal, didn’t he? I reckon there’s only a slim chance w side will give Atkins 3. Fingers crossed.

It's clear most of what's left of our senior players are cooked
We need therefore to get one or two experienced players from elsewhere into the mix to help the kids
Perhaps the AFL can step in and give us a special concession in this regard?
The club certainly should be pushing this
Leave our No. 1 pick alone unless something extraordinary can be manufactured with it
This leaves what do we have in trade currency?
The Brothers Crouch definitely but not much after that. Poss Laird.
I'd be hanging onto Smith Brown

After that our Coaching , Fitness and List Management Depts need beefing up
This ain't so hard to do if the will is there

CCJ got injured at the wrong time and Richmond went with Chol. Balta plays at the other end of the ground and has done so for a while with the ultimate plan of him replacing Rance originally.

CCJ will be available from injury in a couple of weeks. Unless injury strikes a forward I can't see him playing until possibly round 18 against you guys. Nankervis will bump Soldo when he is fit again and Chol seems to have now locked in his spot.

Listening to Rowey and Bicks yesterday . They talked about a priority pick. Rowey saying we should go as hard as possible but it was also mentioned by Bicks the club will not request one. Rowey is a bit out there but his passion is second to none and I agree we should use anything that will get us a pick. In Bicks you can see a future board member in that everything seems too hard and don't rock the boat attitude.
 
Trent Dumont - contracted
Lewis Young - contracted

Orazio Fantasia - contracted
Callum Coleman-Jones - contracted

= you pay a premium


Hately - uncontracted
Valente - uncontracted
Sparrow - uncontracted
Graham - uncontracted
I feel like paying them premium is something this club has avoided.

To attract some stars were going to have to pay premium, whether it's the contract we give them or what we give up to get them. Not against it either if we believe the player is worth it.

We need to use the PSD to our advantage this year of all years. Its been used against us. Like Carlton did with the GC player last year.
