Heard that Carlton have guaranteed Xav Lindsay they'll take him if available at their pick but wouldn't be the first time a club has said that & not followed through. Saints & Swans went pretty hard grilling him in interviews.

A few years back, a mate's son was "guaranteed" by 3 clubs that they would take him if available at their mid/late first rd picks. They all then didn't lol. One of them also then had an early 2nd....still didn't pick him lol.

Ending up getting picked by a club later in 2nd rd who had given him next to no indication.

Draft night has a life of its own for some/many.
 
You've clearly not read the article otherwise you'd see that's its all Richmond supporter Ralph speculation & they've just plastered an attention grabbing headline for clicks.
Even if we were putting 3 on the table, no way it's to trade back to 9/10. 6 I could imagine under certain circumstances, but no further.
Like all the Hun 'journos' doing no more than shilling for who they support.

May I ask how you came across this information? I'd much rather Berry or Hotton at our pick but he does fit the bill of class with ball in hand we're desperate for
 
Ollie Hannaford’s hit Callum Twomey’s and Jasper Chellapah’s top 30.

Coming on through with a wet sail it seems.
Late to the party, they miss out on the party hats and party horns.. ;):fire:

Definitely heard examples of the same thing, even know a kid who went undrafted after being told the same story.

Not hard to see why, pound for pound the best kick in the draft with Berry and Oliver inches behind.
 
Cal has his Vic biased hat on.

How he has FOS ahead of Sid Draper for instance sums it all up really.
Cal sure does love him some APS schoolboys, must be torn rating Country boy FOS (Koroit) but Xavier College/Oakleigh Chargers so all good. Wonder how high he'd have FOS if he played for the CTL club he's zoned to the GWV Rebels and went to Warrnambool College? ;)
