Sure you're not a Hawks fan?PHANTOM PREDICTION WITH PICK SWAPS
ROUND 1
1 -- JASON HORNE-FRANCIS
GWS TRADE PICK 2 AND FUTURE 1ST AND 2ND, TO HAWKS FOR 5, 21 AND FUTURE 1ST
2 -- NICK DAICOS - HAWKS BID - COLL MATCH
3 -- SAM DARCY - HAWKS BID - WB MATCH
(WB do a deal with Bris trading out pick 23* (which would now be 25) and future 2nd, 3rd + 4th for Bris future 1st, 43 and 62, WB maximise pick 25 and bris gain points for next year and utilise the pick they would lose next year for nothing into getting points for the bids next year and pick 25 this year.
4 -- FINN CALLAGHAN
Hawks get the man they wanted
5 -- NEIL ERASMUS
6 -- MATT JOHNSON
They like Rachele but this is too high, without a viable swap they will keep this pick. They are keen on a taller mid with inside and outside skills BUT also composure which puts Johnson in the frame
7 -- MAC ANDREW
8 -- JYE AMISS
Erasmus is gone and FWD line needs filling, they take Amiss here before either of WCE, Rich or Ess get the chance to think about it
9 -- BEN HOBBS
They have liked Hobbs for a while, with plenty of outside runners available on their list, a bull, a grunt, a clearance machine is what they need to feed the ball out
10 -
Gws get both of their men and keep points for a Fahey bid match
11 -- JOSH SINN (BRIS GIVE STK 16 + 20 FOR 11 + 2022 3RD)
(Brisbane like Sinn and he will not last till their pick with Essendon also keen, so the swap was done to get their man)
12 -- JOSH GOATER
Tall mid with a high ceiling fits the bill here, they have mids to deliver the ball I50 once Josh bursts away from the pack and gives them the ball
13 -- JOSH RACHELE
With Goater and Sinn gone, Ess like Rachele as he is a very good small forward who applies tackle pressure and can be a game changer off his own boot, Ward is a consideration but do they need another small mid. Could Knevitt go this high?.......possibly.
14 -- ARLO DRAPER
15 -
16 -- JOSH WARD
With the want to stay in VIC, i can see Ward going here to STK, its not really a slide as in between Callaghan at 4 and Hobbs at 9, Ess is the only other VIC club with a pick and they do not need another smaller mid, Rachele projects as more of a small fwd at AFL level who could drift into the middle. Ward would be a good fit here at STK. Can an interstate team talk him around though.....if so, he should go earlier up the order
17 -
18 -- MITCH KNEVITT
A tall ball winning mid who is not slow, has good athletic traits and a big potential upside, i cant see him getting past Syd here especially with that area of need, **will he get to this pick though??
19 -- CAMPBELL CHESSER
20 -
Wilmot is in consideration but Butler suits a need after booting Lonie aside in the delistings and they have already got their mid with WARD earlier. Will they go a defender here though??
ROUND 2
21 -
Freo maximise this picks value, Port get a young backman with extreme athletic ability and huge upside to fill a hole in the def left by Hartlett and Lienert
22 -
23 -
24 -- TOM BROWN
25 -
Wilmot is another that Bris like and he would suit their style of play, and they gain points for next year to match Ashcroft and Fletcher bids at the same time WB get extra points for Darcy bid and dont get 25 wiped away for nothing **this bid gets done early before the Darcy Bid, maybe even before the night starts...see above at Darcy Bid.
26 -
A small forward who tackles hard and pressures well but also kicks goals, they like Clarke and would want to pounce before Carl or Haw got him first, and they also score another early 2nd rounder in the bank for 2022
27 -- JESSE MOTLOP

Don't like that from a Richmond perspective at all. Keep our picks and take Gibcus, Butler, Sonsie, Howes and Murley and we've killed it.
