Hey guys, I’ve got some good links inside the club and got some pretty strong intel today.

Firstly the club was really keen on Mal Rosas Jnr. He was actually really keen on us too. The club organised for him to go to dinner with MRJ and during the evening 6-7 times fans stopped and asked MRJ for a photo. Rosas asked MRJ if that’s normal and MRJ said as a Richmond player it happens all day every day. Rosas is introverted and quiet and said he didn’t know if he could handle that environment because it’s literally never happened on the Gold Coast and decided the anonymity of Sydney was going to be better for him, hence the decision to choose them.

We are very interested in a crop of Indigenous boys. We sent the KGI team to WA a couple of months ago to meet and spend time with them and we love a kid called Pickett. I expect he will be taken with whatever pick 38 ends up being. We are certain to use that pick on an Indigenous kid and will probably bid on some of the west coast academy players here if they haven’t been selected yet but Pickett is the kid we want.

The club loved what we did bringing players that had played together in last year and particularly the bond it has created amongst the kids at the club.

The plan is replicate that again this year but this time it will be with a batch of boys from SA.

Our hope is that WC take Dursma and CDT or Robey because we will be taking Sharp and Cumming at 3 & 4. We will take Sharp of the board with pick 3 immediately and then try to turn pick 4 into pick 5 with a trade with Essendon for them to take either CDT or Robey whoever the eagles don’t take. Our aim is to get a future 2nd and Essendons pick to help with our academy stuff next year.

We will then add Kellaway as a 3rd SA boy either with our final pick or by matching a late bid and we already have a deal in place with a club for a 2027 3rd or 4th rounder if we need any points to match the bid (but the club doesn’t expect this to be required as it’s likely in this draft Kellaway slides to rookie selection if we don’t take him)

Anyway my sources are always pretty good (check my history, I broke the news on the Bolton deal last season). Take it for what it is worth and obviously a bit of time for things to change but that’s what I know so far. (Also if u watch Gettable last week, Robey says tigers were the last team to show interest and my understanding is with Lalor and Smillie we don’t think he fits our list)

Your news is like a mother in law kiss too Robey fans.

 

[richoatthedisco]

Imagine you were wanting to set a smokescreen, like we did with Bone Allen last year.

"Hey lads, who was that big-noting blabbermouth you fed the Shitlock nonsense last year? Tell it we like Sharp."

 

[richoatthedisco]

But why would we want people thinking we like Sharp, you ask.

So West Coast don't trade 2 to Essington (who would pick Robey) thinking they can get Sharp at 5.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Gee I really hope those that are willing to put their necks out and share alleged inside information continue to do so after some of the responses they get.
I'll never understand some of the hostility they cop.
It's better content to discuss than 95% of what gets posted in here which we can all agree is just bored fans talking in circles trying to kill time.

His issue is that he's upset the Robey fan club.If he came on and said we're taking Robey it'll be a massive orgy happening.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Robey doesn't fit our needs because we drafted Smillie and Lalor???
Why then are we getting Sharp, who is more like Smillie?

Sharp is the only pure mid in the top 10.

 

[Karp3_dm]

When are we going to be blessed with Hicksys phantom?

After Toohmeys

 

[Karp3_dm]

As if we aren’t taking another match winning mid/forward who wins their own ball, takes contested marks, breaks tackles, and kicks goals for fun

 

[Nostradumbass]

Mmmmm things are heating up

 

[T4P]

I have insider knowledge that Essendon want to trade 6+7 for 3+38 if WCE don't take CDT




(am I doing it right?)

Given Melbourne own pick 7, I can definitely see why Essendon are keen.

Draft night gunna be a blast.

• richoatthedisco dislikes this

Its all "smoke and shadows behind the windows" this time of year

I've got 2 more weeks of avoiding getting banned to make it to draft night. Touch and go I reckon

[Danog]

he said his links are in the richmond social media team. let's assume that's true. how likely do you reckon it is that the guys we pay to put together tiktok videos are privvy to intimate details of our draft strategy?

I'd imagine they'd have videos prepped for each possible draftees by this point, but there's no way we'd only have 2 videos (enough to make a definitive post like he did)
