List Mgmt. 2025 AFL Draft - The Final Countdown

[KP_91]

The more footage I watch, the more I am warming to Sam Cumming tied with Robey. The idea of a mid/forward rotation with Lalor and Hotton is salivating.

 

[docko911]

Hope so, he has a lot of potential. Love that left boot of his and has some wheels as well, which we need. Not sure I'd have him as best 23 for 2026, could be a 2027 bonus...

I hope the decision to not select him after he had 27 and 2 keeps Yze up a night. I know there’s no guarantees he doesn’t do his ACL anyways but it was a complete joke he wasn’t picked for the AFL the week he did his ACL. It was the perfect time to give him a run with a bye the week after.

Gray also got injured in that VFL game after being unfairly dropped to make way for Balta.

It was great seeing McIntosh, Green and Sonsie gifted another game instead of these guys.

We need a mix though?
Whos the defensive mid? We need to take Grilj or Sharp with one of those guys you mentioned IMO.

McAuliffe?

 

[Frustrated Tiger]

Mrs Grlj has let the cat out of the bag. He's going to West Coast.

 

[Calcium Man]

McAuliffe?

How many broken bodies for the oppo players after being tackled by 197cm Smil, 194cm Robey, 189cm KM and 188cm Lalor! Followed by Grlj running over a shoving them back to ground when they try to get up.

 

[KrispyKreme]

He may not be back in 2026...

I think he will

Geez he has grown. He has to be at least 195cm now.

If the draft is shallow, why are people suggesting Richmond trade down for lower picks with a reduced chance of landing an A-grade player?

It is cockamamie logic!

Depending what range players we rated. So trading down to one of Melbourne's picks + future first might be an option.
Wouldn't trade pick 3 if Robey is still available.

 

[ShereKhan]

Very, very unlikely we do that wormy. Incredibly risky duo.

Yeah, I can't see Eagles not taking at least one of Sharp or CDT along with Duursma...most likely CDT. If Eagles decide they want to beef up the midfield, then with Duursma being a 'utility' it seems logical they'd select the player who has proven to be the best pure mid in the draft, and that's Sharp.

If Tigers got CDT and Sharp we'd be doing cartwheels.

 

[Morro]

Watch the highlights from his VFL game against Sandringham ... my favourite is when he was streaming through the centre square and he just ran straight through the tackler and then delivered the kick lace out.

Bro I could be confused as it was last week, but werent we talking about Cumming?

I think we’d ideally trade 2,13 for 5,6 and hopefully pair the proven and high floor midfielders Sharp and Cumming with Duursma.

 

[Lord of the Wings]

CDT and Sharp

5,6 could miss on Sharp & Cumming
At least one of them.

 

[Rich01]

Bombers wouldn’t take that for 2. For one perhaps at a stretch.
Melbourne more likely to take that for 7 and 8.

 

[Rich01]

I think this board needs to accept the very real possibility that West Coast takes Duursma and Robey.

In which case we take two of CDT, Grlj, and X Taylor.

Personally I think CDT and Grlj would still be a great haul, but my preference is for Robey.

Nah, they will take Duursma and Sharp or trade a pick out. Highly unlikely they take a risky Melb metro kid.

 

[59Stanley]

Taranto, Hopper, Lalor, Smillie, Hotton, McAulliffe, Ross and Dow with Campbell and MRJ pinch hitting isn't enough depth? Big chance Kellaway is added to that mix.

What we really need is a HBF with speed, defensive skills and a ground ball winner with great disposal, similar with a winger and a ruck.

Oskar Taylor ! we are big into him.

but with more mongrel. Happy to get him onboard and the other pick is a lottery.

 

[lalorGOAT]

Pick #9 & #11 not enough ?
I think we would jump at that

Think about what Robey could be worth in a few years.

If he reaches his potential, we will be worth a hell of a lot more than 9 and 11.

 

[Michaels]

If the draft is shallow, why are people suggesting Richmond trade down for lower picks with a reduced chance of landing an A-grade player?

It is cockamamie logic!

because the chance of landing an A grade is in the top 3 picks, which we have 1 of.

from there on out for the next 10-13 picks it is fairly even, hence trading of pick 4 to split into next year and slide back a fraction this year is worth considering.

 

[Dr Tigris]

CDT and Sharp

I am so glad you are not doing our drafting

Why would anyone trade out of a better rated draft (2026) for a draft pick that is no better than the next 10 - 13 picks?

If Richmond were to do this would you be satisfied with the outcome or would you question the logic?

Why is a team trading up if the players are all even between 4-17? I’m giving up 2 of those players for 1 for reasons?

This is the most confusing thing that I read about trading up and down here or on wce/bombers/dees boards, no one seems to ask why the other team would do the deal that often only benefits one side?

Blues are the only one who make sense to get ahead of Dean bid.

And makes sense for them to do it with Essendon specifically because Essendon can give them points back.
