yes that's what everyone says. Lead up 180cm half forward type, not exactly high on our wish list. I'm sure he can play as he is talked up, bland more to do with his highlights being nothing special and the position he would play at Richmond.Rachele is far from bland. Very talented lad.
I don't think so. Based on what Twomey has said on Road to the Draft (he seems to be the most knowledgeable in terms of what clubs are looking at doing):Just found this, could be pretty spot on:

We have 2 x F2 picks. The rule is that you must have/use a pick 1 or pick 2 in each draft year. Therefore we can let F1 go.Can't trade our F1 at the moment because we don't have a F3 or a F4.
From all the commentary, It’s all going to come down to where/if GWS select AndrewStill a long way to go before the draft, but I'm starting to think Gibcus is the one that slides to us. I know we want a mid, but if all of Callaghan/Hobbs/Ward/Rachelle are gone then I think we'd take the key defender before we reached into that next tier of mids.
1. NM - Horne-Francis
2. WB - Darcy
3. COL - Daicos
4. GWS - Callaghan
5. GC - Andrew
6. ADE - Hobbs
7. HAW - Ward
8. FRE - Rachelle
9. RIC - Gibcus
Royce Hart was scary too....That champion team of left footers were a great team
Ricky McLean and Robbie Mcghee,,very scary
I call rubbish as GCS stated they'd take Callaghan if he wasn't taken by GWS.Just found this, could be pretty spot on:

If it ends up that way I hope we go Erasmus over Gibcus. I like Gibcus and think he will be elite at the next level but Erasmus could be anything and is a great size for an inside out midStill a long way to go before the draft, but I'm starting to think Gibcus is the one that slides to us.

If they are that keen on Andrew, then Gold Coast's intentions may make it difficult for them to drop down to pick 9 and give us pick 2.From all the commentary, It’s all going to come down to where/if GWS select Andrew
From what I've read, I'm probably leaning the other way. Erasmus' disposal can be a bit iffy, and Gibcus is Victorian which is worth factoring in.If it ends up that way I hope we go Erasmus over Gibcus.

I think Tiges only do that deal on the night, and only if they can't get Pick 2 from GWS AND one of Hobbs or Ward are still on the table.
My guess is that we would take Pick 7 & 15 for Pick 4.
Yeah i guess it comes down to respective recruiting managers, but Richmond seem to be making it pretty well known that you're looking to trade up.

Graham is not in our best dozen players, which you'd want your pick 7 to be. He is a good role player who has potential to improve, hopefully this year, but he is not game buster. Bolton, Stack, Balta type talent is what you want with a first draft pick I would have thought.
Graham is a solid player, but I'd be quite disappointed if a solid player was all we got out of a top 10 pick. You'd want to be getting a Vlastuin level player, minimum.When Cotch, Jack and Edwards retire, who is going to be ‘clearly’ better than Graham?
Martin, Bolton, Balta, Grimes, Prestia, Lynch, Vlastuin….
Of course you want an Uber elite player, but if Callaghan, Ward and Hobbs are gone by our pick and you asked would I take a Graham equivalent, I’d do that every day of the week.

Who's attacking him. You obviously rate him very highly, some like myself rate parts of his game, yes he is tough and does a power of running and team work, but in 5 years he would never have a single best on.
But for an early/mid first rounder I'd hope for something a bit more exciting or a bit of a gun.
I wouldn't be trading into next year unless we're offered a trade you can't say no to. As I've said repeatedly I see this draft as the first stage of the rebuilding on the fly. We're going to bring in 5 top 30 rated kids, can't recall a time a premiership contender has been able to do that, while still in their window without trading out stars. We have been able to achieve it by moving on fringe players, some we wanted to keep and others who chose to explore other options, which holds us in good stead.Good thinking all around, but for mine I hope we don't go too hard on improving our hand for next year at the expense of this year's draft.
We need something really good to top us off in the right now whilst our window still exists (a Ward or Hobbs could do that), but also, the sooner we start our mini rebuild the better. There will be more footy exposure next year which will make drafting "easier" (for want of a better word), but we should capitalise now I reckon.
Graham is a solid player, but I'd be quite disappointed if a solid player was all we got out of a top 10 pick. You'd want to be getting a Vlastuin level player, minimum.
Prefer not to give away future picks.
Much clearer picture of next years vic kids than this years.

That would be a pretty great haul. Big fan
I do think Graham has the potential to move up a tier due to the fact that he has played games where he has hit the 30+ mark, twice. Hopefully he does it on a more regular basis going forward. He has attributes that are as good as anyone in the team but I find him limited. Vlas/Grimes/Prestia/Martin/Riewoldt/Cotchin/Edwards/Short/Lynch/Balta/Bolton/Lambert/Stack/Nankervis and maybe Broad, are all more talented players in my opinion.When Cotch, Jack and Edwards retire, who is going to be ‘clearly’ better than Graham?
Martin, Bolton, Balta, Grimes, Prestia, Lynch, Vlastuin….

Guess there’s a world where we pick Erasmus at 7, Van Rooyen at 15 and then Bazzo and Sheldrick with the 20’s picksI wouldn't mind if the club nabbed the 2 WA boys with our first 2 picks.
If Freo pick Eramus (as I think they will), I'd pick Amiss & Van Rooyen.
I'd then pick 3 mids with our picks in the 20's
That's just me though.
