Did Sam Lalor say that if he was picked by us at #1 he’d want Dusty’s number?

Bloody hope so…that’s balls on the line right there - love it

Happy Draft day!

I just wanted to put a message up to pay Respect to Chris Toce today. He would have been in his absolute element today. A day would of given him so much joy.

May he rest in peace. An absolute gent. This draft has still got his influence on it.

RICHMOND

A legacy draft

Understandably, plenty of intrigue has surrounded Richmond and its movements in the lead-in to the draft. Already in possession of seven first-rounders as well as the first pick of the second round, the Tigers easily wield the most draft power in the competition. Is it possible for there to be a worst-case scenario for Richmond at the 2024 draft when you have eight of the first 24 selections? Not in the short-term. But the success of this year’s hall will ultimately be judged in hindsight.

Considering the mass number of players that have left the club — either via trade or retirement — in the past two years, it’s imperative the Tigers nail the next two nights of drafting. Rival clubs are frustrated, yet fiercely admired, by how tightly the Tigers have guarded their draft preferences this year, especially in recent weeks when the rumour mill is out of control.

Ultimately, the Tigers must get their mix right. There’s a scenario where the Tigers take Sam Lalor, Josh Smillie and Bo Allan with their first three picks. Would that be too many big-bodied midfielders to take within the first 10 picks? There are also suggestions the Tigers mightn’t take a key-position player with any of their first four selections. Is that too much of a risk?

Richmond must also make the right trade calls, for it’s unlikely the club will use all eight top-24 selections at the draft. There’s potential for the Tigers to turn one or two of their choices into 2025 capital. Specifically, Pick 24, the first pick of the second round on night two, holds tremendous value and could be the selection the Tigers deal if they feel they have filled enough list needs on night one.

Acquiring a first-rounder next year for Pick 24 would be a good result, albeit ideally it should be with a club that’s less likely to be in flag contention, considering the 2025 draft crop is heavily compromised and isn’t as deep as this year’s.

Why is there a constant narrative that we will trade our last picks out of this draft?

The last 2 drafts show that teams are not only paying a future pick but also offering slide backs, often only 1-2 places.

If you don’t have a pick to offer for a slide back (hello Norf) then you better have multiple future picks to offer, otherwise another team will trump your offer.

I’m warming to Berry at 10/11 quality small forwards are hard to find.

Would happily take Lindsay or Berry ahead of Shanahan....

 

[Wavvey]

Such a big day for the club. Incredibly big really.

Fun thing is it’s the type of draft that is almost impossible to stuff up.

 

[docko911]

I love how they always say the first pick of round two is so valuable like well it’s a good pick but 23 is better. If the clubs have done their homework, which they bloody well should have because they are paid to do it, they will simply know who is best available on their list and if it’s worth trading for them at any stage.

The only potential difference for pick 24 is the time to prepare for the trade but again they could have already done pre-work to a semi agreed value for a trade.

’s and RCD’s and we’ll have a good draft.

I can’t see any similarities in the players we are looking likely to draft with those players so hopefully that is a good sign.

And this is the key, which plays into our favour. Especially if a player slides, then it will be a free for all. Blair would be in his element.

Would be interesting to be a fly on the wall and listening into the rumored numerous calls he has been receiving over the last few weeks.....

 

[Tigerman59]

Haven’t been so excited for a draft in many, many years! I’m sure our club is all over who we need & want! Backing our recruiting team to nail some picks tonight and start the build back up the ladder! Welcome to the Richmond Football Club boys!!

 

[THE THIN MAN]

[richoplzbreed]

Already got a Dr note from Dr Hao Long.... won't be in any state to turn up tomorrow..... it's been a long bloody year. Can't wait to see:

• Dusty hand over no. 4 to Lalor.
• North waste pick 2 on Tauru or take another mid.
• Bid on Kako and Marshall.
• Land 6/ 7 of our next superstars.
• Only trade with desperate clubs that pay 3x what the picks worth. Bring it on!

Exactly, the idea we will potentially hand 23/24 to the cats for their future first only is laughable, but predictable media talk and bias.
They want it, it will be that and a mid/late second rounder back this year.

 

[petro12]

I'm starting to think we gave up too much to Brisbane in this deep draft.
We gave up the equivalent of pick 24

View attachment 2169703

Starting this sh*t again. The value of having the last pick in the first round coupled by the first of the second is insane value. I think we trade a couple of these later picks for F1 and slide back in the 40s to pick up Davidson but the reality is we couldn’t hold on to all these picks. Brissy were always going to be gifted another year with tbe Academy rules and good on em. Their players 20 years ago did the dirty and their sons came good. Credit to them

 

[M0557]

Just walked past Blairs residence this morning, he has already put his market rates for some of our late picks this evening....

 

[Del228093]

If we don't get at least one of Jagga, Langford or O'Sullivan then i'll spew up
