List Mgmt. 2025 AFL Draft - The Final Countdown

[captain cotch 9]

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

GC's 1st pick next year will be around pick 15 and could blow out futher.
Just take 3&4 to the draft and nail the picks.

100% they have their draft order, what do you think would change their minds from now until draft?
people act like the club changes preferences every single day, rediculous.

I think an offer too good to refuse would change their ranking due to where the picks fall is the main thing
But also believe there will be a lot of interviewing and research being done on their main targets now just to make sure if they have 2-3 players that are almost level in the rankings. But the majority of the work would be done

* Players around the #25-#35 range would now be getting scrutinized deeper as that was not a pick we were expecting to have

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

Yeah probably not as i think there's one player short there for me to do it. If you were confident 2 of cumming Taylor grlj would be there its a consideration i guess, i one of them will be there as you'd be relying on essendon to probably take another player not named above.

I personally wouldn't do it, but I think there's a fair chance something like that may be offered.

 

[THE_GUN]

Who suggested pick 11 for Young?

Well we did get pick #38 that effectively gets Richmond the 26th best player available in the open draft

 

[THE_GUN]

I personally wouldn't do it, but I think there's a fair chance something like that may be offered.

Not to downgrade both picks #3 + #4 down to #7 + #8
It would have to be Melbourne's Future 1st

 

[HeadandShin]

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)

how does this look points wise assuming Uwland, Patterson, Annable and Dean are bid on by west coast or us (pick 3) and our picks become 7&8.

Yeah I agree, I think if Melbourne's first was put up its a big discussion to have

 

[THE_GUN]

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

They Did !!

They Said we come as a threesome Sharp - Kellaway - Cumming

 

[hammer180]

They Did !!

They Said we come as a threesome Sharp - Kellaway - Cumming

Dream scenario then would be cdt and robey still on the board and we trade both picks for essendons picks and their 26 F1 although i still think we keep our picks.

 

[THE_GUN]

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.

If we do have real interest in Taylor then surely we bid on Dean with pick#3 then
He is seen as the best defender and 10 months younger as well as 2-3cm taller and plays similar game/position

 

[THE_GUN]

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)

This did happen back in 2009

 

[tigs2010]

If we do have real interest in Taylor then surely we bid on Deam with pick#3 then
He is seen as the best defender and 10 months younger as well as 2-3cm taller and plays similar game/position

You've literally written this on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and now Thursday.

Only 20 more days of it to go
Get used to it

I needed reminding as it wasn't mentioned yesterday.

 

[copthat]

Whats the worst trade our fans have suggested ?

Aristotle suggested we trade Gibcus for a delisted free agent.

 

[bigstyletiger]

If we do have real interest in Taylor then surely we bid on Dean with pick#3 then
He is seen as the best defender and 10 months younger as well as 2-3cm taller and plays similar game/position

But he is allegedly on the slower side.

 

[sportshow]

As long as we end up with one of Robey or CDT we will have won .... that's it .... all other noise is peripheral ....

Does that mean 2 X Friday to make up for Wednesday?

I send him a DM to make up for Wednesday that was missed

 

[tiger_tough]

I love how Grlj takes on the tackler and then burns them off. Plus he has a glorious side step.

I'd be stoked with Sharp and the Sizzler. Reckon they'd both have immediate impact.

 

[Danog]

We need a pick for Kellaway though.

Now you know how it feels campaigner

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

Blair and Rhye said the same thing, would have to be an outstandingly favourable deal for us to trade back, and that’s the way it should be imo.

Would have to think an “outstandingly favourable deal“ would mean a future pick.

 

[captain cotch 9]

Our picks will most likely be 6&7.
Taylor and BBQ will be good picks at those spots IMO.

 

[Lord of the Wings]

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

Now is the time clubs start to give wrong info to sources to get the clubs behind to bite on a trade. Blair is a master of it and did it last year when we were strongly linked to Bo Allen late at pick 7 which was clearly BS
