George recently did a podcast on Backchat. He spoke very well and seems to love the club. The way he spoke, he seems very committed to the club long term. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

It’s a completely different scenario if they still had pick 9. If they still had it, clubs would 100% bid before their pick so they couldn’t double dip. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

They’re a mid table team going nowhere. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

I wouldn’t be surprised if Thurstfields interview was a ploy to signal to other clubs to pay up if you want pick 2. There seems to be this narrative that we’re desperate to trade back. We aren’t going to trade back unless the deal is right for us. It’s a win win scenario. Sent from my iPhone...

We can’t build our list around players potentially leaving. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

They’re not going to reach for a tall at 5 and then take lesser valued mid at 9. It makes no sense. They need both types and they will pick best available at each pick. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

They will use pick 9 to get a tall. No chance they pass on a mid at pick 5. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Carlton will take him if us or Richmond pick FOS. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

I think Carlton legitimately would be into Draper. Their midfield is incredibly one paced and are dying out for a Draper type. If FOS is gone, I think they take Draper. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

They don’t have anything to give. They sold the farm for pick 3. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Xerri says hi Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

I’m not suggesting their cupboard is completely bare, I just don’t think they have a huge amount of young talent coming through that will allow them to rise up in the coming years. I really struggle to see what their strategy is along with Essendon as well. They both lack elite talent which you...

Their backline looks very iffy, especially with Battle gone. Their midfield would have to be the most vanilla midfield in the comp. It’s lacks speed, X factor, depth, etc. They need to hit the draft big time and they don’t even know it. Admittedly having picks 7 & 8 will help if they can get...

They’re a mid table team. Nothing more, nothing less. That’s exactly where they have finished for a number of years. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

It doesn’t scream ‘plenty of talent’ to me. Most teams would have at least that amount of young talent coming through. They look destined to be a mid table team like *. They have lost Battle as well, which leaves a hole down back. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Richmond will pick 2 mids with picks 1 & 6 in my opinion. Both picks will get them 2 very good mids to build their future midfield around. Picks 10 & 11 is a sweet spot for them to pick talls. Plenty will be available at that range. I would be very surprised if Melbourne didn’t pick a mid at 5...

Who’s their young talent? Saints are going nowhere fast. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

They don’t have a F1 Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

What time is the pick swap deadline? Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

LDU and Mckercher. Even Duursma could eventually play through there. We have gone very hard for mids. There comes a time when you need to back what you have and address other areas. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

They won’t be offloading top 10 picks in a deep draft for a gamble, it just won’t happen. They will more likely trade their later picks for future picks or trade up with them. Plenty of other options for them than that trade. Clubs are desperate to get into this draft. Weren’t we offering our...

They have no need to gamble pick 10 for a pick next year that at best could be slightly better. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Why would Richmond do that deal? Wait a year to use a pick that will most likely be higher than 10. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Do you have any evidence that the trade was a direct swap with no other picks involved? It was widely reported that we were offering our F1 for Houston. It turned out that we were actually trying to get him with pick 13. If our F1 was involved we wanted more than Houston in return. Don’t...

You have no idea what else was involved in that deal. It’s rarely a straight swap of picks. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Such a stupid mentality. One player shouldn’t change a drafting approach after decades of successful player retention. Powell seems pretty happy at the club. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com
