Rumour Draft Rumours 2024 - No rumours allowed

[Gee Class Loco]

rumour - Richmond like Lachie Jaques - intercept defender, nice kick from Geelong Falcons in the mid 20's

Have they given up on Tom Brown already?? Very similar types IMO.

i dont watch a lot of Richmond, but i wasnt the biggest fan of how early Tom Brown went in his draft year, is he performing well enough to not have competition?

Not sure... saw him a few times. Thought he was doing ok for a young fella.
Albeit the team was getting whacked.

I thought he looked like he was coming along nicely. Maybe one of not many from that era.

Nah they'll (Port) be getting Brad Close in a trade we have brewing for next year i reckon.

Teams need more than one small forward. Port currently have zero AFL-class small forwards.

And yes I know you were just stirring that Butters is in line for a job as Chief of Leadership at Cotton On or some bullshit rort.

Brown will be fine. Very talented, which he's shown in glimpses. Shoulder issues and lack of a tank held him back early. And he was still growing. He should fill out nicely to a 188-190cm strapping fella.

We also have Trezise and Kaleb Smith as promising half-backs. Trezise and Brown the interceptor types and Smith more the running small. I don't see a huge need for Jacques, particularly given his lack of height for the role.

What has happened to Kaleb? I placed him in the top 10 in the WA list here on BF in his draft year but haven't heard much of him since, not they I get an opportunity to watch all AFL games as WAFL takes up my time.

I thought he had tremendous pace and line breaking evasive skills. I hope he makes it.

Yze made his parents skip a 50th birthday party flew them to Geelong on a freezing rainy night to watch him scratch his nuts on the pine for 2.5 hours

Willie Rioli?
But yes we only have 1

He missed pretty much all of 2023 with a foot injury. Had a fantastic VFL season this year and got a few AFL games, even if some supporters had a cry about him sitting on the bench on debut like about 1000 players before him. He's quick, competitive, wins contests, breaks a line, kicks well. I really rate him.

Willie Rioli?
But yes we only have 1

Yes, Rioli, sorry. One. You need two more.

I have a nephew who does a bit of scouting work for the Dees who has gained the impression that they really like Tauru. It’s interesting if true as North would potentially miss out on him if they traded back to 6 with Richmond as a consequence. Obviously no teams will have finalized their picks or strategies yet, but you would assume that North would be aware of this interest if it does in fact exist.

This is why I think NM's best trade option is Adelaide.

ADL: 4 + F1
NM: 2 + F2

Then trade one of their future firsts (ADL or NM) to get back in at 18.

Good from a North POV, except I doubt we trade them pick 18 if they **** us like that.

What does Adelaide stand to gain?

Also, why would Adelaide want a F2 from North?

North would be taking that offer and running.

You're an Adelaide supporter yet you want your club to downgrade their F1 to North's F2 to gain 2 spots in this draft, particularly when it looks like you'll get your target in Draper anyway

Is that deal on the table though? Think I saw Crows supporters post that they weren't even all in on Draper. I also don't think Crows would trade next year's picks when Dyson Sharp looms as the best prospect

Crows need to put 90% of their team on the LTI list to beat us to Sharp

Fair call..... But Crows might end up with a couple F1's, who knows

I like the look of Tauru, but I'm still not completely buying that he is our main target. We need a genuine key forward and Armstrong seems a much better fit. Also, surely Melbourne will take a mid at 5?

Why would Adelaide do that as not much between the top players?

That is an awful deal for us.

He can play anywhere, massive upside, has the highest ceiling in the draft. I think you'll use tigers pick 11 on him and use 18 on shanahan and 6 on smith

Richmond want 2 that way they have osullivan and Lalor to build from. And it passes off Carlton too

What will they pick for our pick 10, 20, 23 & 24?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

And on what planet are Richmond trading all those for one pick. This trading up to 2 is just weird. Unless it’s for 6&18 straight why would Richmond bother? Likely to get just as good a mid at 6, and a slider at 18. What’s honestly the point? Richmond take all the picks they can draft their whole spine in one go likely have pick 1/2 next year if need be split that for 2/3 picks why do it this year?

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

So. What is a FR... is that code for a Future Rookie?? A Fabulous Rooster ? A Freckled Redhead??

Jarryd Roughead getting on a bit to be fair so not a ideal trade target
