There hasn't been a kid drafted since Dusty who's as good as Reid.
Who was 2 last year? McKercher? I have FOS and Lalor ahead of him.

You’d take that, Lalor 1, Smillie 6, the twins as well, all sounds a bit mail-y…

Recruiters have labelled 2024 an “extraordinary” draft and Richmond has been left holding the whip hand.
The Tigers had to navigate some “rocky moments” during the trade period and lost some experienced stars in Daniel Rioli, Shai Bolton and Liam Baker.
However, list boss Blair Hartley eventually got what he wanted for the premiership trio and now holds eight of the first 24 selections in next month’s national draft.
“(This is) what we view as a very, very strong draft and as a list manager you’re always looking to position yourselves in those stronger drafts, which sets our club up for what’s next,” Hartley said on Wednesday night.
DRAFT DOSSIER: THE BEST 60 PROSPECTS OF 2024 PROFILED
There has not been a club which has had so many top-end draft picks since Gold Coast (2010) and Greater Western Sydney (2011) were on the verge of entering the competition.
Trades for Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper in 2022 left Richmond with no access to top-end talent the past two years.
The Tigers’ first draft selection in 2022 was Kaleb Smith (pick 49), while they entered last year’s draft by choosing Kane McAulliffe (pick 40).
This year, Richmond has pick 1 — among four of the first 11 selections.
History tells us that not all high draft picks live up to expectations when they graduate from junior footy to the big league.
PICK 6
PICK 10
PICK 11
PICK 18
PICK 20
PICK 23
PICK 24
The last time Richmond had pick 1 was in 2004, when it secured Kyabram flyer Brett Deledio.
The midfielder was a two-time Tigers’ best-and-fairest winner, a two-time All-Australian and served four years as a vice-captain before finishing his career with GWS.
But Deledio was just one of five top-20 picks for the Tigers that year.
The others were Richard Tambling (pick 4), Danny Meyer (pick 12), Adam Pattinson (pick 16) and Dean Polo (pick 20).
Tambling was the only one of that group to play more than 61 games in the yellow and black.
Of course, that was a different era at Punt Rd and Hartley later went on to build a list which won premierships in 2017, 2019 and 2020.
Can he now engineer another premiership push through this draft, perhaps by 2030?
Recruiters have differing opinions on who should be the No. 1 pick this year, but they all agree that this draft is as strong as super glue and has plenty of depth to pick 25 and beyond.
There are also two other big ticks about this draft for the Tigers.
One is that there is something for everyone in the top-30 group – from gun midfielders to promising key position players and damaging smalls at both ends of the ground.
The second is that most of the top-end talent is from Victoria.
Some 25 of the top 30 players in our 2024 Draft Dossier are from Victoria – if you include key forward Jobe Shanahan, who lives just across the New South Wales border in Moama but goes to school in Echuca and has played for the Bendigo Pioneers.
The heavy Victorian cohort means the Tigers can select without fear of the go-home factor, which was key in the departures of West Australian products Bolton and Baker this year.
Just because the trade period is over, that doesn’t mean that Richmond’s picks won’t change between now and November 20.
Hartley hasn’t ruled out further pick swaps, with clubs able to trade picks in the lead up to the draft and on the night.
But if the Tigers hold their current hand, the “what’s next” that the club talks about could look quite exciting in the years to come.

Definitely
1 & 2
10 & 11
20 & 23
Trade #18 or #20 to move upto #2 with #6
Trade #24 into F1 (essendon , Stkilda , Geelong ,Gc)
6 players in this draft is fine and 2-3 Rookies
It really depends on who’s there at 6, and I do doubt FOS or Jagga will be…
If they’re not, I can definitely buy in on Smillie.

We should acquire a late pick on draft night and pick Noah Yze to **** over the Dees.

This guy does good stuff as he likes the players I like. Liked his thoughts on Lalor in previous video too.

It's an example of what I'd like to see us do. Everyone seems to think that all their favourite players are going to fall to our picks unfortunately it won't work that way even with us holding the most picks in R1. We're bound to miss a few players we're keen on

So.. THE most important draft for Richmond in recent history. We amass a litany of draft capital, assembled a great recruiting staff, and just when it is all coming to a head, our recruiting manager passes away. Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely sympathetic to the whole club, the Toce family, and the larger community, but this could legit be the plot of a dark comedy.

ok - but for me this draft is quality anyways let’s leave it
Too many talls
I don't really care how we get it done, keeping our current picks, trading up or down, but here is my wish list for the draft.
Get it done please and thankyou.
In Blair we trust.
- 2 of Lalor FOS Jagga Draper Langford Smillie
- 2 of Armstrong Tauru Trainor Travaglia Gerryn Dodson Faul Shanahan Whitlock
- Lindsay
- Hannaford
- 1 or 2 future 1sts
Get it done please and thankyou.

It would be great to get the Pies 25 1st....
9 players over 32......they will fall off a clif next year IMO.

Why should the west coast trade not be the standard for this years picks ?
Specially when you consider the the top 7/8 players are rated evenly and recruiters media and pundits all believe any one of them could be #1-#7 pick #6 is extremely valuable and throwing away a pick #11 just to move up 4 spots is over pay
I would keep our current picks if it means trading #6 & #11 to get #2
Eagles got #12 & #14 there is a big difference between #12 & #6 as it goes to the next tier of talent where as #2 & #6 are in the same tier.
Not to mention that North are a very very willing selller thats priority is getting a KPP rather than another midfielder
Lalor , FOS , Langford , Draper , Smillie , Reid , Smith , Tauru , Armstrong , Travaglia , Berry , Allan , Hotton are the players that clubs and media / draft watchers have as the main players then there is a gap to the next level
We currently have 4 picks in that range and i would not reduce that.
For me its #6 + #18 or leave it and just take the best rated on our board at the picks we have
Didn't they trade our their 25 F1?
tigs2010
Pick 1...
If FOS turns out to be a dud, trading for 2 will go down in history as the biggest blunder
I wouldn't be trading any of our picks for pick 2
With pick one we obviously get the player that we rank as the best in this draft. However, the top echelon is so even that from what I have read up to 5 to 6 players have been mentioned as potential number ones at one point or another. So whoever we get at six is going to be a hell of lot better than you standard garden variety number six. And with club recruiters ranking players differently, whilst we probably won't get number 1 and 2 in our rankings, we might well get 1 and 3 or 1 and 4 etc in a super draft
That's hardly a booby prize and we get to keep all our later picks. And if God forbid all the players that we ranked 1 to 5 all go before our pick, we then have the opportunity of selecting Harry Armstrong who is considered the best key forward in this draft and who probably won't last to picks 10 and 11. And if Melbourne takes him as some suggest they might at 5, we definitely then get to select another of the cream of this years midfielders.
Keeping our draft hand as is and perhaps trading our last two into next years first round is the best way of maximising our return. Please if it aint broke don't fix it.
