Lol what? Budarick is like 5'8, played juniors as a mid and now a rebounding half back.

While I agree with you that they lack depth in KPD's, Budarick has nothing to do with it.

i can see his view point tho,theyre lack of a tall KPD is compounded by the fact that the only returning backman they have to look fwd to is
all of 175cm :thumbsupv1:

If we can nab Gibcus AND Erasmus with our first 2, I'd be stoked!

Gibcus is firming at our pick from what I am hearing. Hawks supremely interest at Hobbs at the pick before ours. Hearing one of Amiss/Gibcus will be locked in at 9 if they slide and Hobbs is gone.

Other names linked to pick 17: (Sonsie, Goater, JVR, Roberts)

Our mid 20 picks: (Bazzo, Taylor, Sheldrick, Howes, Murley, Clarke)

Still interest in Long, but may not pull the trigger on him too early and hope he slips to the rookie draft.

Overlooking ward would be spicy

Weren't we the only club not to interview Roberts?

Will take it if the recruiters think that he is the best available

Definitely not the sexy pick but a sensible one for the future rebuild as i can see him not playing much if our defense is healthy.

if we get Hobbs or Ward they will play round 1

At this point Roberts will be lucky to be drafted at all, let alone at pick 17.

That's two phantoms with us taking the Soligo kid. I wonder if his player agent is leaking that we plan to take him.

Edit- apparently he played a game for our VFL team this year?

This is really confusing when you consider Richmond traded #38+#40+F3 for pick #27 then to take a kid that's name has not even been mentioned anywhere i have heard or read in the last 3-4 months with pick #26 or #27

I'm thinking we could have just traded out #38 and kept F3 and just selected him with our pick #40

AFL phantom draft: Inside word on which prospects will be taken when among first 20 picks

One club recruiter recently told foxfooty.com.au this was “the least predictable draft” they’d ever been involved in.

That was the sense putting this first-round phantom draft together, with crucial calls from Hawthorn, Fremantle and Essendon to dictate how the opening stages of Wednesday night’s event will go down. A big trade, which is widely expected, could reshape the top of the order too.

Foxfooty.com.au predicts how the first round of the draft will pan out — including two father-son bids — plus the inside word on which prospects your club could take and why.

PICK 9 — RICHMOND: MATT JOHNSON

Position: Midfielder

Size: 192cm, 81kg

Club: Subiaco/North Beaches/Western Australia

AFL player comparison: Scott Pendlebury

Johnson’s strong finish to his 2021 campaign – he won the WA best on ground medal for his performance against SA at Optus Stadium in an AFL Grand Final day curtain-raiser then had a terrific draft combine with three top-10 finishes — has seen him surge into top-10 calculations. A tall midfielder with ridiculously good composure in traffic, Johnson got a taste of all three WAFL competitions in 2021. A top-five pick on talent alone and shouldn’t have to wait too long to have his name called out.

In the mix: Don’t be surprised if Picks 8 and 9 are flipped here and the Dockers choose Johnson and the Tigers opt for Ben Hobbs, who would love to land at Punt Road but is prepared to go anywhere. The Tigers also have interest in 196cm key forward Jye Amiss, especially after losing Callum Coleman-Jones and Mabior Chol during last month’s exchange period. Key defender Josh Gibcus would fill a need, too, considering the recent departures of David Astbury (retired) and Ryan Garthwaite (delisted), although they’ve just brought in free agent Robbie Tarrant.

Matthew Johnson of Western Australia.


PICK 17 – RICHMOND: JACOB VAN ROOYEN

Position: Utility

Size: 193cm, 91kg

Club: Claremont/Western Australia

AFL player comparison: Tom McDonald

An exciting swingman that impressed at both ends during his draft year. Van Rooyen booted 34.14 from nine WAFL colts games up forward then starred for WA’s Under 19s side as a backman on AFL Grand Final day, taking eight marks in defence. After a year that was interrupted by glandular fever, Van Rooyen finished strong at the draft combine, running the 20m sprint in 3.06 seconds. If the Tigers didn’t pick Jye Amiss with their first selection, Van Rooyen would be a strong chance with their second.

In the mix:Campbell Chesser would have to be considered here if available still. This would also be talented Eastern Ranges midfielder Tyler Sonsie’s best chance of being selected in the first round, however he’s now looking more likely to be snapped up on Thursday night. It’s also the earliest a bid on top Giants academy prospect Josh Fahey would receive a bid, but the Tigers would likely save that move for Thursday night. Could they snare Sam Butler after letting brother Dan go a few years ago?

Jacob Van Rooyen could be the fourth WA prospect to be taken in the first round. Picture: Michael Klein

Higgins was a fail when you see the quality of players taken directly after him.

Oscar Allen, Tim Kelly, Sam Taylor, Fritsch, Liam Ryan, Starcevich and even Powell. Likewise CCJ was not at that level.

Clarke had a mare and wouldn't want to repeat that.
Click to expand...

You can go back in almost every draft and the player taken at #1 rarely turns out to be the best player of the draft; albeit a good player.

Does that mean that team has failed?

Higgins was rated a top talent, fell on draft night and despite a significant brain injury, has still had a very handy career to date.

None of those players for memory were rated higher than Higgins at the time. Three were mature age players, at least two had significant go home factors (Ryan and Kelly) and if you believe the talk at the time; West Coast selected Allen at that pick as they thought we would take him at our next pick.

Of course there will be players that turn out better than those picked above them. A draft can’t predict how players develop in a system, in a different environment with different opportunities.

That doesn’t constitute a ‘fail’ or a ‘mare’. That’s just reality.
