North would have to make the 8 for it to be a break even.

This could be a heads roll situation if they finish bottom 4.

That top 8 thing got made a whole lot tougher ..they traded 2 home games to western Australia next season

 

[banzai]

can't trade 2026 picks this year

tigers didnt need to pick tomorrow

27 and 28 for our f1 would've been more beneficial for both sides than the f2

I think we might be able to get another teams F1 for 28. Geelong would surely offer theirs, but hopefully we can do better than that with a team less likely to make finals. Maybe Essendon throw up Melbourne's F1, that would be worth a gamble. They could go very well or fall apart completely.

North have had that many high picks lately, they can afford to trade 1 away for a player they obviously wanted to get. I don't think its that bad for them, obviously works for us getting a good pick for next year after using our top 6 picks this year.

 

[Conca Cuddle]

I wouldn't say that.
The North pick trade was amazing (stupid north).

But I wouldn't touch trainor the way the afl concussion panels are now he's a Nathan Murphy waiting to happen (nice kid but id be staggered if he plays 50 games). Smillie is a risk because he lacks football IQ and while I love hotton the acl is a worry. Faull is the type of player that in a good side could be a valuable role player but in a poor side might be a complete bust. I think Lalor over jagga Smith might be the worst choice of the lot.

Armstrong is good but doesn't justify the rest.
I was quite staggered they didn't take travaglia or Reid frankly-theyve gone for a lot of risk for a team that absolutely has to nail this rebuild before lassie comes in.

Man. Just say you don’t like Richmond, it’s a lot less characters lol

We cleaned up big time

I actually do like Richmond. I just think they made very odd choices for a rebuilding club.

Essendon will trade for shanahan at 28 I reckon.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Not sure what else they could have done they took best available at there picks

If they were not going to pick a midfielder that they actually needed they could have at least tried useful pick trades (for example North were clearly throwing their future 1st around).

I guess I don’t really follow it enough to debate it, but most of the guys you mentioned were rated in the top 10 during the year. Time will tell I suppose

They have to F1's yeh?

If they offered one of those, richmond don't have another 2nd to give back?
That'd be a bold move if it was Melbourne's F1 for 28 and a F3

Essendon recruiters looking at Richmond for that coveted Pick 28 tomorrow:

That’s a very negative take on our haul IMO

- Lalor has bigger upside than Jagga Smith IMO. Unless you have an outright number 1 talent like a Harley Reid type in the draft (there were none this year), you’d rather upside at pick 1. Yes, there is risk involved, but when these type of risks pay off, they pay off in spades.

Let’s put it this way - I’d hate seeing Lalor become a star at another club more than seeing Smith become a star at another club.

- Your concerns about Trainor is fair enough. Concussions are a big topic right now, and Trainor slid to a pick in the 20s for a very good reason.

- Hotton’s ACL isn’t that much of a concern to me. He’s still young

- Smillie has assets we desperately need. He is strong and can burst away from the centre and kick a goal/hit a target inside 50. We seriously lack mids with those traits. Lots of upside as well.

Would’ve been happy with Travaglia at 6 and Reid at 14, but what we have’s pretty good too. At least we can say we’ve pick a high potential group

 

[Call Me Cake]

Essendon will trade for shanahan at 28 I reckon.

We had 27 before. We could've let Kako eat up 11 and then used 27. Except in that scenario we could've had a chance at calling bluff.

Your logic defeats the entire purpose of us trading out to not have 11 (which is now Melb's F1) eaten up by Kako and having our next pick in the 20's.

They would have expected shanahan to be gone by 15ish though.

If I was a Richmond supporter, I would be over the moon with all those selections so the club definitely nailed it IMO.

 

[Erakor]

Surely Melbourne would be looking at getting one of the KPF still left ?

 

[Cubs2Lions]

Coveted. Lmao. North being North.

Don't tease North supporters friend, it's the only success they have ever had in the past 10-15 years

Soon enough they will know how much of a mistake it was to trade their F1 next year for Whitlock.

North Melbourne supporters right now be like:

 

[jdstorm]

With pick 28 Richmond can realistically get an F1 from a decent team to trade back 10-20 spots and still get another top 50 pick.

I’d say that’s the play.

By my count Richmond have
2x mids
2x tall forwards
1x Small Forward
1x Medium defender

Another Tall Defender and/or Small Flanker seems the remaining needs. There’s a few decent ones left at both spots so if you can trade back and still get one final player you like then why not.

Also There’s no way Kako got past Melbourne or Saints if Essendon had kept that pick.

I think its more the fact they could of done this deal in trade period and gotten a much better pick.
elite trade from tigers, no value at all from north but if that was the player they wanted good on them I guess.
they've put alot of pressure on him now too and he is certainly a player that needs time to develop physically

 

[gillon]

Oh so back then it wasn't a deep draft? Even then Shannahan is not worth pick 11.

We turned 11 into Melb's F1 so that our first selection after Kako wasn't in the 20's. We gave up our chance to call bluff (which if pulled off could've got us Kako and 11) for that.

Each club has a different draft board. You have no idea how the club rates Shanahan. That trade is irrelevant now.

thought it was a bit early for jonty but i guess if you flipped him and armstrong most people would of be fine
big fan of the hotton and trainor picks

 

[6285sutto]

Who is everyone rating as next 3-5 best talents?

Speculation on WCE board is that Richmond need a ruck (Dodson) and Bulldogs would take Moraes?
The more I read on Moraes the more I feel he would be perfect fit for West Coast but alot of people are calling for Shannahan as he's too good to pass?
