TIGER CONUNDRUM
Which players Richmond selects with its first two picks remains a big talking point among the industry.
Should West Coast overlook Duff-Tytler, the Tigers would almost certainly pounce with their first natural selection. But the expectation is the Eagles will pair Duff-Tytler with Duursma.
Three open-pool players are consistently linked with Richmond: Eastern Ranges star pair Xavier Taylor and Sullivan Robey, as well as Oakleigh Chargers speedster Sam Grlj.
Robey – a powerful 192cm forward-mid – is the biggest bolter in an AFL draft since Clayton Oliver 10 years ago. No AFL club had spoken to Robey prior to July this year. Three months later, all 18 had contacted him.
Taylor is a serious defensive talent who’s rocketed into top-10 calculations over recent months. At 191cm, he’s a genuine hybrid third defender who has the athleticism and versatility to either lock down or intercept while playing on forwards of different sizes.
Grlj, who’s spoken to 17 of the 18 AFL clubs, is a hybrid midfielder with the appealing combination of speed, power and endurance.
Opinions from rival clubs vary on what the Tigers will do.
Some believe Robey would be too good to overlook. If the Tigers didn’t select him, he wouldn’t get past either Essendon or Melbourne.
Most would be shocked if Richmond overlooked Taylor, who’s seen as a possible long-term replacement for the likes of Nick Vlastuin and Nathan Broad. But would the Tigers prioritise midfielders at the pointy end of the draft? And would Essendon or even Melbourne have a similar mindset?
The Tigers arguably don’t have a player with running power and speed like Grlj on their list. But if they don’t pick Grlj, he could slide past several clubs and land somewhere in the middle stages of the first round.
The only other prospect in the Richmond mix would be South Australian midfielder Sam Cumming, yet it’s more likely he’ll land at one of the Bombers or Demons.

Maybe not straight away but I wouldn't put it past him given his ability/want to work hard at developing his game.

Not again no.
Blues should let West Coast draft Dean @3, CDT falls to our pick, Essendon come in with a massive offer, we take that offer and get Robey, Cumming & Taylor. Essendon get CDT & Sharp.
Dean leaves Eagles after 2 years to go to Carlton.
