List Mgmt. 2025 AFL Draft - The Final Countdown

[Grockadoc]

I reckon CDT and Robey will be off the table at picks 2 and 3. Richmond will want 2 x 1sts to overlook Robey which we wont get.

Any sort of trade up scenario then involves either Essington (e.g pick 5 and 21) or Melbourne (eg pick 7 and a future 2nd) reaching for Taylor or Sharp.

In reality, either way I think our first 2 picks will most likely be Robey at 3 and Grlj at 4, 5 or 7.

Essendon and Dees would only trade up if one of CDT or Robey are still on the board at our second pick. Otherwise it would mean one of Sharp, Cumming and Taylor would be available at their picks and they would be happy with any.

loooool taylor 3rd defender

will go 15th if we dont reach

Hearing the bombers are also into him.

 

[Groupie_]

you will never hear the end of it from me if we select a 3rd defender with such an early pick

 

[hammer180]

The deficit for Ison would come in round two next year. It's not a round 1 deficit, thus not effecting the collateral needed for walker next year. Plus we don't yet know the new matching rules.

If he was bid on say essnedons end of first round compo pick would that be classified as 1st round or 2nd round deficit?

 

[Groupie_]

Hearing the bombers are also into him.

who arent they ever into ? problem is nobody is into having their career ruined

 

[Groupie_]

also theres something a bit wrong with selecting essendon supporters to play for rfc

theres clearly something wrong with them /their family

was tom mcguane there ?

 

[_RT_]

Don't get your hopes up on a pick split.

If it were a legitimate chance, I don't think we would have re-signed Sonsie.

If we gain an extra pick, then a late bid on Kellaway won't be able to be matched due to available list spots.

We can take up to 4 picks in the draft, so we could split an early pick for 2 later picks, then we could trade 38 into 2026 and bank points, then still have a spot to match a Kellaway bid of it comes. If not we have an open spot for players to train over summer as a possible SSP recruit.

campaigner, you'd say what you wanted regardless

If we gain an extra pick, then a late bid on Kellaway won't be able to be matched due to available list spots.

If we were to split an early pick, I'd assume we'd give up 38 as well. No change in list spots used.

We won't slide back for a 2nd round pick. Would have to be 2x1sts. If we don't achieve that, we hold and pick who we want IMO.

cant wait to add xavier-taylor to the long list of afl hall of fame immortal 3rd defenders

 

[Kyusss]

Couple of questions

Are people reffering to Xavier Taylor as a "Third Defender" because of his height ?
Most of his comparisons have been Josh Weddle .. is Josh Weddle a third defender ?
Is Steven May

too short to be a key defender ?
Are these the same people who said Alex Rance was too small at 1.94?
Is third defender meant to be an insult?

Not if we split for a future pick....

TIGER CONUNDRUM

Which players Richmond selects with its first two picks remains a big talking point among the industry.

Should West Coast overlook Duff-Tytler, the Tigers would almost certainly pounce with their first natural selection. But the expectation is the Eagles will pair Duff-Tytler with Duursma.

Three open-pool players are consistently linked with Richmond: Eastern Ranges star pair Xavier Taylor and Sullivan Robey, as well as Oakleigh Chargers speedster Sam Grlj.

Robey – a powerful 192cm forward-mid – is the biggest bolter in an AFL draft since Clayton Oliver

10 years ago. No AFL club had spoken to Robey prior to July this year. Three months later, all 18 had contacted him.

Taylor is a serious defensive talent who’s rocketed into top-10 calculations over recent months. At 191cm, he’s a genuine hybrid third defender who has the athleticism and versatility to either lock down or intercept while playing on forwards of different sizes.

Grlj, who’s spoken to 17 of the 18 AFL clubs, is a hybrid midfielder with the appealing combination of speed, power and endurance.

Opinions from rival clubs vary on what the Tigers will do.

Some believe Robey would be too good to overlook. If the Tigers didn’t select him, he wouldn’t get past either Essendon or Melbourne.

Most would be shocked if Richmond overlooked Taylor, who’s seen as a possible long-term replacement for the likes of Nick Vlastuin

. But would the Tigers prioritise midfielders at the pointy end of the draft? And would Essendon or even Melbourne have a similar mindset?

The Tigers arguably don’t have a player with running power and speed like Grlj on their list. But if they don’t pick Grlj, he could slide past several clubs and land somewhere in the middle stages of the first round.

The only other prospect in the Richmond mix would be South Australian midfielder Sam Cumming, yet it’s more likely he’ll land at one of the Bombers or Demons.

[GoTigers2015]

Seems more unlikely that Melbourne will trade up for Robey if they have genuine interest in Nairn
