List Mgmt. 2025 AFL Draft - The Final Countdown

[db26]

If we can come out with Robey and Cumming or combination with Taylor we have done well.

 

[bc27]

Strongest links to XT & Grlj tells me we may trade both picks 3 and 4 and slide back slightly to receive a future first + possible sliding our pick 38 up a bit.

 

[captain cotch 9]

Broad and Vlaustin will be gone in 1-2 years.
X Taylor is the perfect replacement for one of them and also to team up with Trainor, Gibcus & Brown.

 

[hammer180]

Have they asked Sharp and Kellaway who their favourite player to play with is? I assume if they said eachother they are both locks

 

[hammer180]

Nowhere have I seen it written that CDT is a strong mark which is a real concern for a big man.
Still trying to work out how Samson Ryan was drafted given his dinner plate hands. How did we recruit a big man who has zero overhead marking ability ?????????

I've watched a fair bit of CDT on replay and some complain about his ruck work needs improvement but its his marking that needs the most improvement, alot of his ground ball gets are follow ups from dropping marks. If he improves that he will be an absolute weapon.

Who suggested pick 11 for Young?

Ready made kpd’s with his athleticism, about to hit his prime, would be their #1 key defender…

If we get XT and Grlj a F1 and move 38 into the 20s, that will be an incredible result, especially if that 20s pick gets us Barker, Emmett, O taylor, NHH, or Phillipou and Kellaway, happy days

Doesn’t mean he’s any good, would struggle to get a game for us in 2026 and we could be the wooden spooners

 

[bigstyletiger]

How good is your source? I remember last year you said that Adelaide would take Harvey Langford ahead of Sid Draper.

They should have

Fox Sports done some players dirty with the player comparisons

Chris Judd
Luke Hodge
Dustin Martin
Nick Daicos
James Worpel
Bont
Fyfe
Peter Matera
Lachie Sullivan

Grlj compared to Daicos and Cumming compared to Fyfe

Broad and Vlaustin will be gone in 1-2 years.

He's the one I think is most likely for us with the other being robey or grilj.

I know. I was parroting some of the reasons given as to why we’d get pick 11.

Essendon also being linked to XT though. He's not a reach at our picks.

 

[tigs2010]

Essendon also being linked to XT though. He's not a reach at our picks.

Comparing rankings v mocks and players linked, Grlj seems the one we are unlikely to take. XT is in the range, query on the needs basis.

 

[Tygrys]

Broad and Vlaustin will be gone in 1-2 years.
X Taylor is the perfect replacement for one of them and also to team up with Trainor, Gibcus & Brown.

Taylor represents the best of all possible worlds. He addresses a need and isn’t a speculative reach. And because he addresses a need he allows us the luxury of selecting the most likely best open pool talent available in Robey.

If we could somehow swing it and get Emmett with our third to start dealing with life after Nank it would be the perfect draft.

My bad. I’ll blame the lack of sleep I had last night for that

 

[Yo Yo Ma!!!]

On the proviso Melbourne has such a mega h*rd-on for Robey. I'd have no problem with giving Pick 3 & 38 if Melb offered picks 7 & 8. it is dumb as dog doodoo for Melb to do, but if offered, I would have zero problem, from only my personal opinion, for Richmond to accept. Only something utterly ridiculously outlandish in our favour is where I would consider any sliding of picks from our current picks.

Under this scenario (and open pool, remove academy aligned players) I would then go Sharp @4, X Taylor @7 & Grlj @8 (assumption of Dursma CDT taken 1&2). Essendon could stuff that with their picks though

BTW, I want us to keep our picks and take Robey & Sharp (again if Dursma CDT are taken 1&2)

 

[Richorules]

How about a '3-way' pick trade?

If WC take Duursma and Sharp, then CDT and Robey are next - do we want them?
I want Robey but is he the best fit?
If not.....
Tigers - out - 3, 4 & 38
Bombers - out - 5, 6 & 21
Demons - out - 7, 8
Tigers - in - 5,6,7 &21 = Cumming, X Taylor, Grlj & NHH/Barker etc
Bombers In - 3, 8 = CDT & Schubert
Demons In - 4 & 38 = Robey & ?
Tigers gain ~1300 points Bombers lose 550 and Demons 750 (all will slide/devalue as they drop back 3-4 picks due to bidding)

Everything can change but a stupid team is going to make a stupid decision if CDT/Robey are still on the board and we are in the perfect spot to take advantage of it

Grlj has attracted attention all year for his ability to attack the game with explosive pace and agility, dancing past tacklers and breaking lines. These qualities were backed up by an excellent showing in combine testing. Grlj has largely played through the midfield in his top age season but has shown his versatility playing on a wing or a flank in the past and seems likely to start in an outside role while he develops and adjusts to the pace of AFL play.

You have more chance of winning the next 10 Power Ball draws than this ever happening.

No one is trading a F1 for a pick upgrade in a shallow draft.

If Robey and CDT were on the board at our picks i could see them offering 7 8 and the gc 1st to move up to 3 4

If Richmond did this would you accept it or wonder what is going on?
