On the flip side to that, if we do pick him and he doesn't become everything posters expect him to become,there won't be many who put their hands up and say they got it wrong.
No point in trading up unless you are getting FOS. The draft is even after the first few.

Sorry I struggle with the Swedish language. Just as well the girls spoke excellent English when I was backpacking around there 20yrs ago.
Reading between the lines it would seem that unless we got something that was heavily in our favour we won't be trading up into the top 6. Sounds like we will hold our first 4 picks and then look at what offers some for the later picks and decide whether we trade back and/or into 2025.

Richmond’s General Manager-Football Talent Blair Hartley provides a summary of the Club’s incredible 2024 AFL trade period that netted the Tigers a raft of eight picks inside the top 24 at next month’s national draft .
Planning for the 2024 draft
“We were pretty keen on this draft prior to all this happening (trading out Baker, Bolton, D. Rioli) with gathering some picks from last year through the live trading and the Ivan Soldo trade, with the aim of moving ourselves up into the draft with the academy points. So, we’ve been able to do that with pick 20. But along with pick one and pick 24, which were our own picks, we’ve been able to get pick six, pick 10, pick 11, pick 20 and pick 23 as well.”
Maximising our draft hand
“As a list manager you’re always looking to position yourself in those strong drafts, which sets our club up for what ‘s next . . . It feels like it puts us in a good position leading into the trade window as well of the picks leading into the draft. And, also, we can trade picks live on the night. So, we’re pretty happy with where we’re at right now.”
The strength of this draft
“We view it as a very, very strong draft. It’s even. I think you can see the weight of what clubs have given up just to get into the draft has been solid.”
Exciting time at Tigerland
“Patience is required, but we’re really excited about what’s to come. I think a lot of people forget about the experience we currently have on our list . . . We’ve got a lot of senior experienced core guys that have been around and have been involved in a lot of success . . . We’re very excited about what’s to come. It will take time, but I think everyone understands that.”
Taranto and Hopper Punt Road positivity
“We’ve had open conversations with Tim and Jacob, and they are that excited. They love Richmond and they’re excited about what’s next. They couldn’t be more excited. So, we’re looking forward to them playing a big role.”
Trading up our out
“I won’t rule out anything. We’ve just got to let the dust settle. The draft’s very even . . . everyone sees it differently, though. We’ll assess it as it comes. But we’re open to everything. If we can stagger it out, we will.”
heck off. Give us all 3 and we'll think about it a bit before still saying no. The only picks for sale are our last 2.
Yeah I hope that’s not in order
Without having any inside knowledge, I'd say we are odds on to trade for pick 2.
7 left now that poor 92 year old lady passed away during the trade for Clab Daniel once she heard the deal went through for pick #25 and north only had picks #2 & #62That’s it Fox sports keep up the reporting of 6+23 to condition the 8 Norf fans that it’ll happen
Zero chance imo
Came up with the below this morning, while it's unlikely to happen it does allow us to keep 6, North still have a reasonable shot at Tauru, the obvious hurdles are getting Saints to trade back from 7 to 15 & 16, Giants could well be interested in getting up to 11
And they will say no for certain.
What campaigner? I cant even remember what the last what campaigner was about now
Probably.
