I think the suggestion isn't that Richmond were going to pick him, it was the fear that some other club would trade with Richmond for that pick and gazzump us before we had ours. It seems that we had wind of this and beat said club to it.Working out who is going to go at pick 4 5 and 6 is a completely different game to working out who will go at pick 42 43 44...
Moving up doesn't mean we had any info on what Richmond wanted, we could've just gotten scared. If Richmond wanted Bianco so much they wouldn't of traded the pick out.
