List Mgmt. 2025 AFL Draft - The Final Countdown

[sante]

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.

That’s my pick but I literally have nothing to base it on except what I read on here. Don’t even know what they look like

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

Would have to be a potentially high future first though. Wouldn’t take it from any of the clubs expected to make finals for instance

Well so far Zane has proven to be a reach so not sure what you are arguing about

He wasn't a reach at the time of the draft. He was best available - it's a draft, theres no guarantees and you can't foresee their entire trajectory. Duursma averaged 18 touches and 1.8 goals at champs, and 19.3 touches and 2.8 goals in the coates league. Would be a top 4 prospect this year if he was in this draft.

Strange argument to say North didn't chose best available, just because the guy flopped - guess every time a player flops their club didn't take the best available talent?

Grlj ends up the best player suddenly he was best available at our pick in 3 years time?

Kozzi Pickett and Max Holmes were both reaches because the clubs liked them a lot.

Guess your argument is North should've just picked the guy who would become the best AFL player, and just dismiss everything they saw at junior level.

Crazy they didn't have some crystal ball to do that.

We should also just pick the guy that will become the best AFL player, and if we don't it was a reach + not best available.

Yet proven whilst needing talls after many years of drafting they followed the group think about ratings
Clearly they had their own ratings and their rating of ZANE was wrong

why are you quoting and responding to your own posts ?

Great input.

If a player flops the ratings were wrong.

The draft isn't 100% mate, Zane was clearly the best junior available at their pick.

So why are we even mentioning best available for this draft in 2025? We should just wait 3 years and The_Gun can tell us the pick was wrong and the guy who went pick 58 like Lachie Neale was the best available.

Why does that matter?

Clearly an extension of the previous post.

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.

Nothing is clear reading your post

Clearly wrong !!

Was Tamling rating correct ?

Hopefully Louis Kellaway is as successful at the next level as his cousin Campbell is at cricket

Fox Footy compared Sully to De Goey

 

[hammer180]

Just watched a video where Louis Kellaway said Dyson Sharp should be pick 1, if Sharp falls confirmed we are taking him.

someone needs to jump on chatgpt and get it to scrape the Richmond Bigfooty forum to identify who we nuffies would have drafted for each of the last 15 drafts with Richmond's first round picks

 

[THE THIN MAN]

When does Richmond have to have lodged thier final list lodgement?

 

[T4P]

Split pick noise for us is still out in the west.

Chatting to an eagles supporter and the below was floated.

2+13+F2 for 3+4

If Grlj was our second target and we worried WCE take Robey would be the only way I see we’re are interested.

If it is eagles F2 as well.

Eagles may also trade with blues as well

could see something like this happening. not that deal though. Eagles F1 + pick 13 for 3 or 4 could get it done. lots of options.

First list lodgement is tomorrow

D-DAY for Dow and Sonsie

I asked it who we will draft this year, sorry everyone, spoilers below:

Richmond’s 2025 “Visionary” Draft Haul (Crystal Ball Edition)

Round 1 – Pick 5:
Cooper Sanders (Midfielder, Geelong Falcons)
Explosive, two-way on-baller with elite endurance. Richmond’s midfield rebuild continues, and Sanders becomes the new engine alongside Taranto and Hopper.

Round 2 – Pick 25:
Lachie McCabe (Half-back flanker, South Adelaide)
Silky left foot, great decision-making, and serious rebound pace. Think a young Jayden Short but with better defensive instincts.

Round 3 – Pick 44:
Riley Greaves (Key forward, Eastern Ranges)
195 cm forward who clunks everything overhead and has a booming kick from 55 m. Richmond see him as a long-term replacement for Jack Riewoldt’s spiritual void.

Round 4 – Pick 61:
Tommy Nguyen (Small forward, Oakleigh Chargers)
Livewire pressure forward with a bit of Daniel Rioli flair (before his move to half-back). Fan favourite material by Round 10, 2026.

Rookie Draft – Pick 5:
Ethan O’Shaughnessy (Ruck/Utility, Tasmania Devils)
190 cm hybrid who can play anywhere; brings serious mongrel to contests. A “project player” that Dimma—sorry, whoever’s coaching Richmond then—falls in love with.
