I get what you are saying, but this draft has known depth with Norf, Shats and Bummers desperate to get back in. We hold the keys to let them in the door but they surely have to pay a premium. As I said, I think those clubs are desperate to buy in to this draft having sold all of their capital. Norf still have pick 2 but their next is a disastrous 62!! Other clubs may let those clubs in too (GWS a big chance imo), but they will pay a big price regardless of who they end up buying from, imo.Big Footy logic:
- Richmond's F1 is worth more than 2 top 10 picks (e.g. 7+8 from Saints or 5+9 from Melbourne)
- Norths F1 is worth no more than a mid-late 1st rounder (e.g. our pick 18)
- Richmond late 1st round picks are all worth good F1s (e.g. Essendon, St Kilda etc)
With regards our future 1st, there’s no circumstances that Blair will trade it imo. He is all about a solid rebuild and for that reason, I don’t think you’ll see us trade future 1sts or 2nds for a few years unless the offer is extraordinary.
