List Mgmt. 2025 AFL Draft - The Final Countdown

Can we take Kellaway as a Cat B if he doesn't get a bid? :O

I thought that was just academy kids.

Think that's the error getting fixed.

Jacob farrow invited ….. interesting

If Stringer wasn’t such a nut job, he would have had a much better career.

On ability, there’s nothing wrong with drafting a Stringer.

I’m not sure what more Dyson Sharp could have done. He’s an elite inside player, he’s a threat up forward, he’s been ultra-consistent for two years and he’s a leader. I expect we’ll pick him at #3.

I doubt we love the “next best player” - likely to be one of CDT or Robey. I hope Essendon or Melbourne do. It gives us the option to trade down if the offer is good enough. Trading down is more likely to be with Melbourne than Essendon.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we trade a FF1 (Tassie draft) for a pick around 10-12 if Grjl is still available. We’d be backing ourselves to be out of the bottom-4 by then, so that pick will slide to 10-15.

This gives us Robey, Taylor and Grjl, and along with another top-5 pick in 2026 plus Tanner Armstrong, Leys and Daffy almost all the young talent we need.

If we are still bottom-3 in 2027 the rebuild is fooked anyway, so let’s get an extra kid into the system now and get 2-years into him.

No team is giving up a pick 10-12 for a FF1

If there’s nobody they like left on the board they’d absolutely entertain trading out for a FF1. It’s better than taking someone they don’t really like.

Shocking decision if we do that. Pick 10-12 in a weak draft is not worth at best a top 12 pick in a strong 2027 draft. In which we could still very easily be 14th-16th, and at worst give up a top selection.

We'll be better off just simply trading out 2027 into the 2026 draft backing ourselves to improve, after actually seeing us improve.

This is the re-enactment of North Melbourne's trade. Even if we back ourselves to improve, our future picks should hold significantly more weight to other teams.

Another factor is it might be great to have three Heeneys, as Dylan Alexander joked recently, but you also have to pay them.

Maybe the recruiters think Robey is Kmart Lalor, as I do.

Robey has a poorly controlled and tentative kick and handball, poor footy IQ. Stay away from the highlights. If you watch every disposal on the footy stuff YouTube channel there sure are a lot of poor decisions and a lack of situational awareness. Grlj is similar. People just get lured in by a physical beast, especially in a shallow draft.

How do you think you get to make this crap up you’ve posted here to support your anti Robey stance and get away with it? I am not for or against Robey, CDT or others. I have watched 4 of his games live and think his kicking, handball etc is average but his physicality, Marking and goal shots are all good. How you can ascertain he has a poor footy IQ from watching YouTube is beyond comprehension. He anticipates the play fantastically and that’s why he’s a high possession impact player and that’s a high football IQ. You’re talking made up bullshit.

If duursma still on board at our pick then Ess will have a hard on for our pick

We perhaps overinvested in tall players last year. If CDT comes up we should trade out or simply take the next best two eg robey taylor sharp etc

Robey, Taylor, Emmett with Kellaway rookie and a train on spot.

Greeves & NHH so close to pick 38

Doesn't address the lack of speed in the midfield. Would prefer Grlj over Taylor if the clubs rates them in the same range.

Emmett is not bad at pick 38, but we should we take a risk and take Marcus Krasnadamskis who seems to have more potential?
Can't see him sliding to the Rookie draft as the HUN had him being drafted in the 2nd round.

 

[GoTigers2015]

Can we take Kellaway as a Cat B if he doesn't get a bid? :O

I thought that was just academy kids.

No, that is for NGA players that have not been drafted.
Still think we should get Zaydyn Lockwood as a Cat B rookie.

Nothing wrong with that scenario if there's a kid available the club rates.
14th-16th in the 2027 draft is picks 6,8 & 10 & thats without any academy kids going early.
Tassie also has to trade picks 5,7,11,& 13 so there's every chance we could get back in early anyway.

Not all will make it bro, we still have to keep taking best available this draft and next, and possibly one more after that

Richmond has implemented new security measures following the recent leak regarding the 2025 draft!

You could be right that we over invested in talls last year, however, I think CDT is in the top 2/3 players in this draft and if he is available we should take him. In all likelihood if CDT is available, then it’s likely Robey is at WC/gone.

I thought that was just academy kids.

Sorry I had Kellaway down for the wrong rookie spot so there wouldn’t be a train on in that case. Article might take awhile to update that information lol, I did it for a few other clubs aswell

I could also be wrong myself, but it was my understanding an undrafted player who was nominated as a F/S can be added straight to the rookie list before the rookie draft occours. However they take a normal rookie spot, just not a category B one?
