I'd take it. We've got holes everywhere and this addresses pretty much all of them if one of the Whitlocks can ruck.Looks a good haul on paper. Did this campaigner do the rest of teams or just us?

Blair should get shot if he trades #6 and #11 for pick #2 to north who are more willing to sell off pick #2 than we are to get that pick. #6 & #18 is the fair deal in this draftNorth won’t drop under 6 for 2
6/11 I think will get done I know you don’t want to but it’s a fair deal
Leaves you with 1/2/10/18/20/23/24
You will probably only use 4 picks them trade other 3 for future 1st rounders
Then you will have 4 first rounders next year aswell
Not a bad point. RFC taking Conca, leaving Heppel, Caddy, Prestia, Tom Lynch. was memorable. still enough good players at 6.I posted this in the trade and free agency thread. This is just my opinion.
We need to get the top 2 players on our board for this rebuild, as long as we aren't giving up more than 6 & 18. Yes the extra player would be handy but id rather pick 2 over 6.
Best #2 picks -
will ashcroft, noah anderson, andrew brayshaw,Cotchin, Josh Kelly, Petracca, Cognilio, Naitanui, Roughead, Ball, wells, walker, ottens, nigel lappin
vs
Pick 6
Jack Macrae, Wingard, Conca, Gary Rohan, Ben King, Yarran, no point naming the rest.
Theres a clear difference for mine. GET PICK 2
Yeah I agree, 6 and 11 is fair. We should get overs for the two later picks we trade out for futures (I assume) anyway.I'm surprised so many people are saying 6 and 11 isn't fair for pick 2.
It 100% is.
What West Coast did should not be the new standard or expectation.
I'd prefer 10 and 11 or 10 and 18 but if I'm North, why would I accept that? They want Tauru or Armstrong and there's no guarantee either will be there at 10.
6 and 11 for 2 is fair.
would nut with a haul like that, haven't looked much at trav n trainor thoWHO THE TIGERS COULD TAKE IN DRAFT'S FIRST ROUND
Chris Cavanagh examines the players in Richmond's sights with bumper national draft hand
PICK 1: SAM LALOR
GWV REBELS
Rival clubs believe Lalor is the favourite to be this year’s No. 1 pick. The Bacchus Marsh local battled some injury issues this year, but is a powerful and damaging midfielder-forward who has long tried to model his game on players like Dustin Martin and Jordan De Goey. With Dusty having sailed into retirement, the Tigers could certainly do with another player like that.
PICK 6: JOSH SMILLIE
EASTERN RANGES
A big-bodied midfielder with strength and power, Smillie measures 195cm and tries to play like AFL stars Patrick Cripps and Tom Green. Smillie says he’s a born leader, he can change games with his clearance work and he can also go forward and hit the scoreboard. The Tigers identified Smillie and Lalor as two key players of interest very early this year and might be able to secure both.
PICK 10: TOBIE TRAVAGLIA
BENDIGO PIONEERS
A running machine who finished second in the 2km time trial at the draft combine, this 187cm prospect has starred as a rebounding defender at halfback but can also have a run through the midfield. He’s reliable one-on-one and is a fierce competitor who looks up to Hawthorn’s Will Day. Travaglia could team up nicely with Tom Brown coming out of the Richmond defence in coming years.
PICK 11: LUKE TRAINOR
SANDRINGHAM DRAGONS
Some scouts saw this 194cm defender as a top-six pick earlier in the year, but he has since slid down the order a touch and could be available to the Tigers here. A former forward, Trainor has become a strong interceptor who takes the game on. The grandson of football great Doug Wade, he models his game on Tom Stewart but has also drawn some comparisons to Jordan Ridley. Trainor could be a perfect third-tall intercept defender alongside the likes of Noah Balta and Josh Gibcus.
PICK 18: TAJ HOTTON
SANDRINGHAM DRAGONS
Out: Shai Bolton. In: Taj Hotton? OK, they’re a little bit different, but both bring great speed, creativity and scoreboard impact in the front half, while also being capable of adding a spark during onball rotations. Hotton is unlikely to play again until at least next June, after suffering an ACL injury earlier this year. But he had started this season on fire and is a unique prospect inside the top-20 group. His older brother Olli was drafted to St Kilda in 2022.
PICK 20: JACK WHITLOCK
MURRAY BUSHRANGERS
Richmond really needs another young key forward, with Jack Riewoldt retired and Tom Lynch nearing the end. Could it be Whitlock? He’s 200cm, is very mobile for his size, has strong hands overhead and kicks goals. The full forward in the Coates Talent League Team of the Year, Whitlock has drawn comparisons to Max and Ben King.
PICK 23: MATT WHITLOCK
MURRAY BUSHRANGERS
The twin of Jack, Matt is marginally shorter at 198cm but was equally impressive this year. He is a genuine swingman who has featured in key posts at both ends of the ground and is more than happy playing wherever the coach puts him. Like Jack, Matt is mobile, has an exceptional leap and displays strong hands overhead. The twins have said that they expect to be separated and are “ready for that”, but it could be a smart move for the Tigers to keep them together in the hope they become bookends for the next 10 or 12 years.
PICK 24: JESSE DATTOLI
NORTHERN KNIGHTS
This will be the first pick of night two of the draft, which is often highly sought-after if a player slips through night one that a club is desperate to secure. However, if the Tigers keep the selection and there are no shock drifters, they should look at a player like Dattoli. A half-forward who can also impact in the midfield, he is a creative ball user who can change the momentum of games. The Tigers have history of drafting players from the Northern Knights and Dattoli is the best the club has to offer this year.

Not a lot of paceLooks a good haul on paper. Did this campaigner do the rest of teams or just us?
The guy doesn't even mention itTrainor concussion issues, pass.
We don't need a McCartin...The guy doesn't even mention it
3 lefties and 2 rightiesI'd prefer to keep 10 & 11 than 6 & 18. 10 & 11 gets us two of Allan, Berry, Lindsay, Travaglia, Hotton.
We need lefties3 lefties and 2 righties
ExactlyWe don't need a McCartin...
How is trading pick 11 to move up 4 spots fair?I'm surprised so many people are saying 6 and 11 isn't fair for pick 2.
It 100% is.
What West Coast did should not be the new standard or expectation.
I'd prefer 10 and 11 or 10 and 18 but if I'm North, why would I accept that? They want Tauru or Armstrong and there's no guarantee either will be there at 10.
6 and 11 for 2 is fair.
Yes indeedWe need lefties
Norf won't drop back further than pick 6 as they want Taura.10 & 11 will still get quality, someone always falls. Tigers ready to catch.
On balance, I don’t think it is fair, not in this draft.I'm surprised so many people are saying 6 and 11 isn't fair for pick 2.

6 and 11 for 2 is fair.
Yep Rawlings tried to take him down on the CCJ trade. Look how that's worked out for norf.Blair should get shot if he trades #6 and #11 for pick #2 to north who are more willing to sell off pick #2 than we are to get that pick. #6 & #18 is the fair deal in this draft
Eagles #12 & #14 for pick #3 and they were happy to get that
North #6 & #18 is the Fair deal
But Blair is a hard ass and has danced with Brady Rawlings in the past so i would not be surprised if its #11 & #23
Hypothetical3 lefties and 2 righties
Yeah would be hoping Hannaford over Matt WhitlockNot a lot of pace
Don't need 3 talls
