Devon?
Sorry but most of the players you named as forwards I just see as project types and are most likely to be average types or gone. They need to be given a chance but Richmond need to make all posts a winner and will need to add one or two more KPF types to the list. It takes time to develop key forwards and we need to be starting that process now.I was thinking that a tall forward was right at the top of our list and could go early and take the best available.
None of them scream take me from what I have seen. We have Fawcett, Lefau, Bauer and Gray or our list, all basically unknown how good they will be. Lefau was impressive and looks like he could play CHF due to his athleticism, Bauer was very impressive in his little cameo at the end. Fawcett and Gray will get games you would think this year.
I would also like to see what players who read the ball in the air like Young and even Blight could do up forward. Gibcus could end up there.
So do we wait a year and go early on the best young forward next year after we have had a look at what we've got. Not much point in having a good handful of forwards running around the VFL and then adding another one.
a touch sensitive for a guy that calls a kid a soft ****?I’m entitled to my opinion. Are you so insecure you need to try and get personal with another poster? You have no idea about my physical shape and thus are a complete Fwit.
1 & 6 are great! why trade ?Yes I agree don’t trade to 2. High chance in thei even draft 6 will end up better than 2.
Only trade to 2 if north are desperate with a cant refuse deal. Otherwise i wouldnt be offering anything and take 6 to draft. We will get someone very good there.

If Draper fell to 6 and we don't pick him1 & 6 are great! why trade ?
#1 - FOS or Lalor, #6 - Jagger/Draper/Langford or Smillie or do we pick Tauru ?
& if any other teams pick Tauru & Armstrong before pick 6 we will have 1-3 of them to choose from !!
Then #10 & #11 - Could be 2 of Shanahan, Travaglia, Lindsey, Reid, Bo Allan
#18 & #20 - Berry, Hotton, Faull
#24 - Whitlock, Dodson, Gerryn
Only if they don't play for Richmond.love during the draft when some rando gets picked at #78 and shifter goes with the "this kid really could be something, astonishing pace and amazing aerial ability, an absolute steal at 78"
And then repeats it for pick 84
This immediately reminds me of when we selected Reece McKenzie.....love during the draft when some rando gets picked at #78 and shifter goes with the "this kid really could be something, astonishing pace and amazing aerial ability, an absolute steal at 78"
And then repeats it for pick 84
100% won't get past 4If Draper fell to 6 and we don't pick him
I will have a nervous breakdown.
It was a problem they thought they could fix with Corey Ellis and RCD. They were wrong. For a midfielder I can’t think of a greater concern. More often than not it’s just not fixable.FOS ability to rack up does worry me
And the kicker is when he compares pick 78love during the draft when some rando gets picked at #78 and shifter goes with the "this kid really could be something, astonishing pace and amazing aerial ability, an absolute steal at 78"

Can't fix 'he is where the ball ain't'It was a problem they thought they could fix with Corey Ellis and RCD. They were wrong. For a midfielder I can’t think of a greater concern. More often than not it’s just not fixable.

I can’t see Draper getting past the Blues and Crows but would be happy to take him if that was the case. If we do trade out into 2025 I hope we try and do deals where we get another pick back this year and exploit the depth of the draft. For example getting Carlton’s future first and Pick 33 off the Hawks for say pick 20. There maybe very little difference in the calibre of player available at 20 or 33 and we improve our hand for next year.If Draper fell to 6 and we don't pick him

In a normal year when you get one or two early picks I might be taking my earlier scenario, but I guess as we will use between 6- 8 pics, we should be covering our bases.Sorry but most of the players you named as forwards I just see as project types and are most likely to be average types or gone.

C.Ellis and RCD were soft and didn’t take well to the physical nature of AFL footy. FOS has a get the ball forward at all costs type mentality. He’s not your accumulator either, more of a one touch type. 5 of his touches is worth 10-15 of others. He will throw himself at the ball, both on the ground and in the air. I don’t think the physicality is gonna be a concern, more how his body holds up I guess.It was a problem they thought they could fix with Corey Ellis and RCD. They were wrong.

Quite spooky ey Morroeerily similar to dustys junior clips but with more overhead marking
I might jump on Jagga Smith just to shit you all off.
Then when FOS turns into a dud I can call you all out as dumb ****s. If Jagga is shit you will all forget anyway.
