And they might still.Negotiate with 1 then. Mind you, they should still need to cough up a top 10 pick as a starter for Taranto.

Yes Polec may well be finished, but I am hopeful that isn't the case. I wouldn't mind if one of Mahony, Lazzaro or Spicer were on the list, just not all three.
For those three it is quite the investment in picks; # 34, #36 & #42.
We have to get better at drafting, It confuses me somewhat as to why we have *ed up so many second rounders?
Our new approach is to keep trading out our second rounders that way we can't f*ck it up!Yes Polec may well be finished, but I am hopeful that isn't the case. I wouldn't mind if one of Mahony, Lazzaro or Spicer were on the list, just not all three.

Or they could trade Dusty as part of any deal. Though Dimma wants him next year.Negotiate with 1 then. Mind you, they should still need to cough up a top 10 pick as a starter for Taranto.

Agree Polec is cooked we really should pay him out and open up another spot on the list. Mahony is well… Mahony, will see out his contract next year and that will be it. Spicer has a year to prove he belongs on an AFL list, over to you Phoenix. I'm not giving up on Charlie yet he is doing everything he can to be the best footballer he can be let's revisit this time next year after a year under Clarko.So frustrating to have all of Polec, Spicer, Mahony and Lazzaro contracted. Polec is cooked and I don't think the other three make it.
Hopper ends up at Geelong. Richmond simply dont have the picks and will be hesitant to move their 2023 first rounder considering they will most likely have Cotchin, Riewoldt and Tarrant retire at end of that season. The way he is going body wise I reckon Prestia probably only has a couple of years left too.
Taranto - Richmond for 12 and 19
Hopper - Geelong for 18
Seems about right
I know people think Taranto is a Bull butcher but he is one of the best two way mids in the comp. If I was GWS I’d be filthy if I didn’t get a top 10 pick for him. Would North trade Simpkin for 12 & 19? I doubt it, and Taranto is a better all round footballer than Jy.
18 is unders for Hopper too. He was injured this year but last year he averaged nearly 27 disposals per game and 7 clearances. He is a gun inside mid.
GWS look like ending up with 5 top 20 picks.So whats the solution? Richmond trade up those picks to get a first rounder? its the same net result.
We had no second rounders in 2018 and since then we've picked Comben, Perez, Mahony, Lazarro, Spicer, Goater and Curtis. Only Goater was in the 20s too, looks likely to play 100 games. If Curtis and one other player get to 100 games we are ahead of that curve. Its quite possible that Comben, Perez (if he gets a contract) and Curtis get 100 games for the club and that would put us well ahead of that curve too. Mahony and Lazarro look like genuine depth. If we want to win a VFL flag (which seems an important part of a flag ready senior squad, especially over many seasons) we need the depth they will provide.View attachment 1501523
Check out the amount of picks needed to get a 100 game player in the second round.
Every 2.7 times you pick a player in the range of picks 21-30 you get a 100 game player.
Second round picks are generally trash.
If one of Mahoney, Perez and Comben for example play 100 games we are ahead of the curve.
Trading future second round picks is an excellent idea (obviously for good players) while we are low on the ladder and other clubs over value the pick.
In short it is not just us that have trouble in the second round. Most clubs do.
Turns 32 next year. No team would be trading much for that contract.Or they could trade Dusty as part of any deal. Though Dimma wants him next year.
Trade future picks etc.I don’t know how you do it, but there needs to be some type of control around this. How can teams be allowed to negotiate with players without the capital to facilitate a trade? It shits me.
How do Richmond get Taranto and Hopper done?
Flynn Perez (23) - keepWhat's everyones thoughts on the below players?
Flynn Perez (23)
Charlie Lazzaro (23)
Kayne Turner (23)
Callum Coleman-Jones (22)
Jack Mahony (22)
Phoenix Spicer (21)
Cameron Zurhaar (20)
Tristan Xerri (20)
After collating 30 KPIs measured in our game and comparing the average data across the league (5 games played minimum) the above players all ranked below average in 20+/30 KPIs.
On the flip side of the data, it comes as no surprise that LDU (9), Jye (11) & Bailey Scott (13) took out the top 3 spots.
The speculation is entertaining, just glad someone else has the energy and its not me doing it.Surely by now people have stopped questioning how clubs will get a trade done in August
Richmond do some trading to get a pick inside the top 10 then trade their future 1st as well.So whats the solution? Richmond trade up those picks to get a first rounder? its the same net result.
Bergman was a second round pick last year also.We had no second rounders in 2018 and since then we've picked Comben, Perez, Mahony, Lazarro, Spicer, Goater and Curtis. Only Goater was in the 20s too, looks likely to play 100 games. If Curtis and one other player get to 100 games we are ahead of that curve. Its quite possible that Comben, Perez (if he gets a contract) and Curtis get 100 games for the club and that would put us ahead of that curve too. Mahony and Lazarro look like genuine depth. If we want to win a VFL flag (which seems an important part of a flag ready senior squad, especially over many seasons) we need the depth they will provide.
Those second round picks aren't necessarily bad ones all things considered.
I don't think its super hard with their current draft hand.I don’t know how you do it, but there needs to be some type of control around this. How can teams be allowed to negotiate with players without the capital to facilitate a trade? It shits me.
How do Richmond get Taranto and Hopper done?
Are Gee able to trade their 1st? They must be getting close to having to use one?Richmond do some trading to get a pick inside the top 10 then trade their future 1st as well.
Geelong who you’d expect to be top 4 again next year should at a minimum be trading both their current and future first round for Hopper.
It'll come down to take what you're offered for Taranto or lose him to someone else on the PSD for nothing.I know people think Taranto is a Bull butcher but he is one of the best two way mids in the comp. If I was GWS I’d be filthy if I didn’t get a top 10 pick for him. Would North trade Simpkin for 12 & 19? I doubt it, and Taranto is a better all round footballer than Jy.
18 is unders for Hopper too. He was injured this year but last year he averaged nearly 27 disposals per game and 7 clearances. He is a gun inside mid.
It'll be 1 first round pick for taranto IMOI don't think its super hard with their current draft hand.
Pick 12 and 19 for Taranto
Future first and future 3rd for Hopper
Something like this isn't too far off the mark.
Yep they have taken a couple recently.Are Gee able to trade their 1st? They must be getting close to having to use one?
Forgot about Bergman.Bergman was a second round pick last year also.
They all have a shot at sticking around.
Most second rounders require VFL development.
Not as many ready to go types left when we get to the second round.
Our guys are decent I think.
But it wont be the end of the world if a couple become failures.
In fact it is probably the most likely outcome.
He was a pick 2 and is a good player despite the disposal issues. It would be a high first rounder imo. Top 10 or even top 5.It'll be 1 first round pick for taranto IMO
Our third round picks have been pretty decent all things considered.Forgot about Bergman.
I agree with the bolded. We need a squad of 35 good players and another 7-10 who can push for a place in the senior side. That's the ideal, but to get that players like Lazarro and Mahony will be in that 30 - 35 range. Ideally they are playing well in the VFL and both sides follow the same system so when they are needed they slot in with minimal stress.
Our third round (and later) picking is pretty good. Xerri is an okay ruck despite the criticism. Larkey and Bull are great value. We got Mason Wood, Brown, Ford even Kayne Turner - we seem to be able top find good forwards later on. We also got Bailey Scott and Curtis Taylor in the late 40s, they are in that range of 31-50 that i was referring to with the other second rounders. Both over 50 games now and a good chance to play 100.
