Latest news and rumours:

• Tom Barrass officially requests trade to Hawthorn
  • Duffield: Eagles want two first round picks - "It may have to be in this year’s draft rather than a future pick."
  • Morris: Josh Battle is set to join Barrass at Hawthorn in 2025 - Ralph: Unclear if Hawks will pay enough for Band 1

• Kysaiah Pickett interested in a trade
  • "Club and management are confident they can work through his concerns"
  • Daniels: Pickett’s preference is Fremantle. Fremantle are keen, but Bolton the priority. Getting both “not impossible”. West Coast “an option if things get complicated.”

• Jai Culley, Coen Livingstone, Loch Rawlinson in line for one-year deals (The West)
  
  
• Liam Baker and Shai Bolton

Agree with all of this, love so much about Lalor. But is he too similar to Harley? Draper adds such a different type of mid.

Then Hewett if he can get himself right (praying) he's got the perfect blend of contested and outside game.

The reason why Dyson Sharps work so well is he's a defensive beast. From snippets Lalor isn't a defensive slouch (I could be wrong)

That's not an issue because Yeo is also similar to Harley Reid.

In an Ideal scenario we would have-
1. Dyson Sharp (Defensive beast who is brilliant on inside)
2. Harley Reid (Attacking beast)
3. Sid Draper (Outside outlet)

Players like Dyson Sharp and Lalor don't come around often. So pull the trigger.

Also while Lalor is temu Sharp. A temu Sharp is better then no Sharp. Since at the end of the day we need an elite inside player to really exploit Harley Reid getting tagged

However like I mentioned 100 times. I still would pick Sid Draper over everyone if given the chance

 

[THE A5]

Asking for a friend?

Yes that Friend is also called The A5

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Saw this on the Richmond board screen grabbed from Footy Classified. I'll legit spew if we give up a pick in the teens for Baker...no bloody shot.

 

[WA footy mad]

baker at best is around pick 30-35

 

[BartBart]

But where’s he enrolled his kids?

Don't forget about where he signed up for s golf club membership.

I want Draper for this reason. It's exactly how I see it too.

I am not to say this will eventuate but if we're able to somehow get that while still working Ginbey, Hewett and Chesser in and out the middle. Bloody beautiful mate!

It has to be said, I think there is Oliver Greeves or Duursma in 2025 cohort that has some fans too and rated just as highly as Sharp. Other posters probably could speak on this?

Edit: If we finish poorly again, I would be asking for PP to go along with our R1.

 

[ghostbat12]

JFC I take a break from one of the busiest days of the year and roll into this crap.

we will turn on each other like freo fans if we are left on our own.

WCE_phil whats the best time of year to visit Whore Island?

March-April.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Looks like another Banfield coming through, Harper Banfield.

Played for Claremont colts on the weekend as a 16 year old. 9 disposals!
Believe he'll be 2026 draft.

Pick 12? And Graham compensation R2?

Tell him, he's dreaming!

Hawks Pick 30 for Baker, and we land on 23 after a week of saying no to Richmonds request.

Remind me again which side Caro supports?

 

[THE A5]

March-April.

Looks like I got my bday pressy sorted next years

 

[ArdentEagle]

Yes that Friend is also called The A5

I always thought the A stood for Avishka.

Now I know it's most likely Anal!

Best midfielder already.

Might be late on this but haven’t noticed it mentioned but reported on Fox On the couch that Petracca has asked for a trade in his yearly exit interview

 

[Monocle]

Sharps gonna be talking to himself soon...

Be very careful around the danger zone.

Sweet, using this yardstick we'll get pick 1 for Barrass and 2nd rounder for Darling

 

[bzparkes]

First round pick for Lynch, who's 31 and been injured for what, 2 seasons?

Richmond should be the ones giving up a first just for the salary dump.

I don't know what defensive beast truly is but if its tackling and grunt work on the inside its only one side of the coin .

Priddis has/had ? The tackling record was he a defensive beast ?

But he was also a witches hat on the spread and in transition.

Harley is a terrible defensive runner and I suspect Lalor is also. They burn their petrol tickets in offensive and have no tank the other way .

Sid draiper is a good tackler but a fantastic 2 way runner . He is perfect for our team . His team mate Kade Herbert is a fantastic hard running winger who can also lay a mean tackle .

Get these 2 and I'm happy .

Have they got Obeanie1 doing the phantom trade and recruitment for Footy Classified these days?

If Richmond players are worth that much, they should have been top 4 this year, not wooden spooners

Yeah the futures kids are getting a run in the colts atm with the older colts playing seniors

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Have read suggestions that the Tigers will target our pick to get FOS and Jagga together, doesn’t sound like North are keen on Jagga. Wonder if we’d slide down to GC’s pick at 6 (for Rioli)? Would probably get 1 of the picks they get for Bolton/Baker on top?

If Fremantle went all in and got Baker, Bolton?

Pick 3 for 6, 17 & 41? Or 6 & 11?

Richmond #1 - FOS
Brisbane #2 - Ashcroft
North #3 Smilie/ Trainor
Richmond #4 - Smith
Adelaide #5 - Draper
Melbourne #6 - Langford
West Coast #7 - Lalor/ Reid?

Edit: Forgot North exist.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

im doubling down on jack wooden for a rookie spot

Max Rhor has West Coast rookie written all over him. Super athletic tall who can be drafted as a development KPD.
