List Mgmt. 2024 Draft - Draftmas Day

[TigerTime88]

There's a reason for that....


He's not very good.

I don't mind going later on a Whitlock type this draft and waiting for the gun top 5 KPF.

Feels if you spend to early on this draft you're ignoring some more bankable mids and flankers.

 

[docko911]

Who would you have us taking at 11? Berry?

Probably Reid

jagga smith grew up in Richmond yet supports colonwood

My Final Mock Draft

View attachment 2168426

Richmond Picks
1. Jagga Smith - unlikely to happen given all the media reports that Lalor is the likely number 1, but has been my number 1 player all season and IMO is the most likely to have the biggest impact from day 1. Gives our midfield a point of difference we're lacking with his ability to get first hands on the ball and get through traffic and set up attacking chains.

6. Bo Allan - based on the whispers going around today this could very well happen on Wednesday night, which will be popcorn worthy to watch the melts. Starts across HB but will quickly graduate to the midfield.

13. Jack Whitlock - a surprise no doubt, but whispers are we really like the Whitlocks and take Jack here to address a glaring need for a future number 1 KPF.

14. Xavier Lindsay - Lindsay gives us something we're lacking with our outside midfielders with his elite use by foot, while also being more than capable of winning his own footy at the contest.

22. Alex Dodson - after bidding on Marshall at 21, we take the best genuine ruck in the draft and strengthen an area of weakness on the list. Dodson could very easily surpass Ryan as the next number 1 ruckman by time Nankervis is ready to hand over the reins.

24. Trade with Essendon for F1 & pick 40*

27. Cooper Hynes - we add a big bodied general forward who could become a midfielder in time. Hynes was 2nd fiddle to Langford in the Stingrays midfield unit who showed he knows how to hit the scoreboard as well kicking 22 goals for the season in the CTL

28. Jonty Faull - we could just as easily trade out this pick for a future 1st, but with Faull on the board still I'd like to see us take another KPF to partner Whitlock long term. IMO Faull would compliment Whitlock as the mobile lead up forward, while Whitlock played as the deeper option.

40. Jack Ough - a late season bolter of sorts who showed that he could step up and become a handy midfield option, Ough would round out a strong draft haul that gives the list a strong injection of talent across the board and would allow Yze to really start focusing on settling players in positions rather than the chopping and changing we saw in 2024.

The arragonce to drop at nearly the exact same time as Twomey. Rate that from you.

[avengers]

Of the three tall forwards (Armstrong, Whitlock and Shanahan)
I personally prefer Shanahan. Reminds me a bit of Curnow.

 

[db26]

Got a feeling we're into Hotton I don't mind it his a quality kid.

 

[Morro]

Of the three tall forwards (Armstrong, Whitlock and Shanahan)
I personally prefer Shanahan. Reminds me a bit of Curnow.

And already showed he is up to VFL level comfortably, so his game translates against men.

Like the fact he has kicked goals at VFL level.

Whitlock and Faull for me

Cam Hicks Final Mock Draft

Of course he has Geelong taking Davidson, this place will blow up.

He hasn't got Richmond moving any spots and taking all picks- I'll guarantee this doesn't happen, it's a $1.01 odds we shuffle back and/or into 2025

 

[tiger_tough]

Lalor and Smillie....

 

[tigland]

Did Cal say we have knocked back pick 2 offers? Taking our first 4 pick to the draft 1,6,10,11

 

[fargothegreat]

So many talls available through the back half of the first round. Do we take one at 10/11 to get ahead of the other clubs, or take the opportunity to grab a small in Hotton/Berry, who likely won't make it through to our other picks?

 

[fargothegreat]

He thinks it's unlikely we make any trades to move up, but might push a later pick into next year.

 

[Coach_Required]

Played it real safe Twomey... reeeeal safe

Personally I dont think we need 2 defenders in Trainor and Whitlock, I'm still big on Hotton at 11 (bums on seats stuff with Lalor) and see what tall slides to 18. Surely one of Shanahan, J. Whitlock, Faull who I like the sounds of will still be there and they are all rated pretty evenly.

And don't see an immediate need for Port to take a tall so why would they. Means maybe a couple might be there. This is all off no access to footage, no going to games, no contacts to AFL recruiters so take it to the bank

Wouldn't read too much into our later picks, reckon that's going to change big time especially if we trade one or 2 out.
Let's hope our early picks are bang on though.

We just have to take them where we rate them IMO.

If one of the talls is rates as the 10th best player, we take them, cant afford to get cute, also should increase the odds of getting a good KPF which we desperately need.

I like most of Twomey’s prediction… except Alger over Dodson … that’ll be a weird selection call..???

On draft night my wish list is simple:

1. Of the top group of players, don’t want Allan or Reid with any of our top-4 picks (happy for either at picks 18+).

2. Don’t want to hear a name we select where I have to Google.

That’s about it.

I think you have to go midfielders and smaller types in the first 4 picks. Port are pretty much the only club that will prioritise KP’s over smaller types between 11 and 18.

 

[Azzleberry]

I'm not Hicksy before some dumb campaigner like tiger_doubleup says anything

Sounds like something Hicksy would say

 

[Cotchy9]

Gonna be so bad if we go Allan at 6. Dude legit can’t kick and doesn’t get much ball

 

[wormy]

Love Twomeys draft for us

2 Big inside midfielders- Lalor and Smillie
1 gun outside mid -Lindsay
1 Combative forward -Shanahan
2 exciting small forwards - Datoli and Alger
1 swing Man who can play defence, ruck, forward - M Whitlock
1 of best key defenders in the draft -Trainer


If I were to make any changes it would perhaps be that I want at least 2 tall forwards in this draft. Big tick for shanahan, if we play Whitlock or Trainor forward, or even swing Tom Brown or Gibcus forward that's awesome.


*as a side note I've heard dattoli has great character and is a real heart and sole player who I think you can build a club's character around. When we are starting from the bottom like we are, I'm big on choosing a group who can fortify around.

 

[Waltz17]

Issue i have with Allan is 2 main things
His kicking is not good and inconsistent also does not get enough of the ball which was also the main issue with RCD
Both had good size and athleticism but just inconsistent and impact

gets plenty of the ball. Played a tagging role in the WAFL
