I'll never let you campaigners forget it if he becomes a quality AFL footballer.

I was early on Trezise too FYI ;)

Trezise done 9/10th of SFA. It's the equivalent of telling us you went early on thinking _RT_ has influence over Blair.

I think we will get 5 x picks in the top-11. That guarantees us five of:

Lalor
Smith
Draper
Langford
Smilie
Tauru
FOS
Armstrong
Travaglia
Reid
Allan

I’d be confident of at least 3 x ‘big hits’ from those 5 at worst.

So 18 and 20 for 7 from Saints.

So 5 of the above, then we still can supplement with 23 and 24 a choice from:

2 x Whitlock, Shanahan, Trainor, Berry, Lindsay, Hotton, Faull, Dodson, Tatolli, Moraes, Hynes, Hannaford

You could almost pick ANY five and then ANY two and end up with a bonanza (on paper).

Here’s what I’d regard as the very ‘worst’ combo we’d select based on having 1,6,7,10,11,23,24

Jagga
Smilie
Tauru
Travaglia
Allan
Hynes
Hannaford

And the ‘best’:

Lalor
Jagga
Armstrong
Tauru
Reid
J Whitlock
Moraes

No wonder Blair is sitting back and waiting … it’s an absolute smorgasbord of quality in the top-24.

1. Sam Lalor (Richmond)​


GWV Rebels/Vic Country
Midfielder/forward, 188cm, 30/8/2006
Talent League stats (avg): 23 disposals, 6.3 clearances, 6 inside 50s
The Age’s August top 30: 5 October top 30: 1
Agility test: N/A 20m sprint: N/A 2km time trial: N/A
There is only one Dustin Martin, but the Tigers could anoint a teenager with many of the same characteristics as the triple Norm Smith medallist with this year’s No.1 pick. Recruiting sources believe Richmond are deciding between Lalor and Finn O’Sullivan, with Jagga Smith another possibility. Lalor, who was also a talented cricketer before focusing on football, was unable to put his best foot forward in 2024 because of a series of injuries, but the consensus is he will thrive, and improve his running, once he is in an AFL system. He is powerful, skilful, tough, equally impactful as a midfielder and forward, and overflowing with tantalising upside.

7. Josh Smillie (Richmond)​

Eastern Ranges/Vic Metro
Midfielder, 195cm, 17/5/2006
Talent League stats (avg): 25.5 disposals, 11.3 contested possessions, 4.8 clearances
The Age’s August top 30: 4 October top 30: 8
Agility test: 8.391 secs 20m sprint: 3.09 secs 2km time trial: 6:38 mins
Smillie was once a pick one contender, but an up-and-down season left him a polarising prospect. His physical traits and playing style as a midfielder provoke comparisons to Carlton’s dual Brownlow medallist Patrick Cripps. Smillie’s admirers rave about his stoppage work and how he can hang tough in a tackle before finding a teammate by hand, while he has also proven he can step up in crunch moments. Tigers list manager Blair Hartley and performance boss Tim Livingstone both have links to Smillie’s junior club Park Orchards. Whether that connection is being overblown will soon be known. Richmond could take a key forward here instead.

13. Tobie Travaglia (Richmond)​


Bendigo Pioneers/Vic Country
Defender/midfielder, 187cm, 26/10/2006
Talent League stats (avg): 23.6 disposals, 11.6 contested possessions, 6.4 tackles
The Age’s August top 30: 13 October top 30: 12
Agility test: 8.261 secs 20m sprint: 3.19 secs 2km time trial: 6:13 mins
This might be too low for a player who is universally loved by recruiters and improved in leaps and bounds this year. Melbourne could even take him at the previous pick. There are talent scouts who rate Travaglia inside the top 10, but he is typically considered to be narrowly outside that company. Only Sydney academy prospect Joel Cochran ran a quicker 2km time trial at the combine. That endurance makes him an early candidate to fill a wing or play off half-back, but there is confidence he could develop into an inside midfielder. Travaglia is highly competitive, hates being beaten, dependable and one of the safer picks in the first round.

14. Jobe Shanahan (Richmond)​

Bendigo Pioneers/Allies
Tall forward, 195cm, 2/8/2006
Talent League stats (avg): 12.9 disposals, 8.5 contested possessions, 2.1 goals
The Age’s August top 30: 21 October top 30: 17
Agility test: 8.77 secs 20m sprint: 3.1 secs 2km time trial: 6:39 mins

Shanahan just kept getting it done this year, from the Talent League to the under-18 championships then in the VFL for Essendon, where he kicked 11 goals in three appearances. He is an endurance athlete, an excellent field and set-shot kick, constantly presents in the right areas (including being a smart judge of aerial balls) and makes good decisions. Many recruiters believe there is little between Shanahan and Harry Armstrong, and the former has the added appeal of proving he can play at the other end of the ground.

21. Luke Trainor (Richmond)​


Sandringham Dragons/Vic Metro
Tall defender, 194cm, 10/4/2006
Talent League stats (avg): 19.8 disposals, 2.4 intercept marks, 6 intercept possessions
The Age’s August top 30: 7 October top 30: 14
Agility test: N/A 20m sprint: N/A 2km time trial: N/A
Trainor was once considered a potential top-five pick after a fast start to the season, but fellow intercept defender Alix Tauru went up, whereas he has tumbled, including not being invited to the first night of the draft. Recruiters would have liked to see him play on an opponent more and believe he can be shaky deep in defence, while there are also concerns about his concussions. But it is easy to forget all the positives Trainor would bring to an AFL team, from his strong hands to his aggressive kicking out of defence and ability to play at both ends.

24. Jasper Alger (Richmond)​


Oakleigh Chargers/Vic Country
Forward, 183cm, 17/12/2006
Talent League stats (avg): 10.8 disposals, 2.7 tackles, 1.3 goals
The Age’s August top 30: N/A October top 30: N/A
Agility test: 8.141 secs 20m sprint: 2.931 secs 2km time trial: 6:28 mins
The newest draft bolter, and could even sneak inside the top 20. The Giants, Tigers and maybe even the Dogs could fight it out for him. Alger tested very well at the national combine and is a good athlete who performs well aerially for his height and in one-on-one situations. The zippy small forward from Warragul makes quick and smart decisions under pressure, presents well and with a purpose on the lead, and is typically a sound set shot. Alger has played various roles, but his future looks to be in attack.

27. Alex Dodson (Richmond)​

Sturt/South Australia
Ruckman, 201cm, 15/6/2006
SANFL U18 stats (avg): 20.8 disposals, 12 contested possessions, 7.4 hit-outs-to-advantage
The Age’s August top 30: 20 October top 30: 24
Agility test: 9.08 secs 20m sprint: 3.25 secs 2km time trial: 7:06 mins
The first ruckman drafted is certain to be Dodson, a basketball convert who represented Australia at underage level and could have accepted a development spot with NBL club Adelaide 36ers. Now fully invested in becoming an AFL footballer, the teenager has great upside and plays like an extra midfielder once the ball hits the ground, but recruiters would like to see his marking develop. Most recruiters expect the Tigers to take the plunge on Dodson.

28. Cooper Hynes (Richmond)​

Dandenong Stingrays/Vic Metro
Midfielder/forward, 190cm, 28/2/2006
Talent League stats (avg): 23.7 disposals, 4.7 clearances, 1.5 goals
The Age’s August top 30: N/A October top 30: 27
Agility test: N/A 20m sprint: N/A 2km time trial: N/A

This might be far too low for Hynes, who could go as high as Melbourne’s second pick, with West Coast and Port Adelaide among his admirers. The common retort about the powerful Stingrays product is that he has the widest draft range of any player. Formed a great one-two punch with Harvey Langford, and they often switched between the forward line and midfield. There are some lofty AFL comparisons for him, from Cam Zurhaar to even Clayton Oliver. Hynes’ endurance needs to improve, but his forward and clearance craft are rated highly.

I can see us taking Dodson given our situation. The wraps on him are pretty good, and he has a huge upside. If e do take him with one of our later picks (1/2 the clubs that'd be an early pick :cool: ) it could be smart. Long term ruck who becomes an extra mid.

Feels like we are reaching for Shanahan there.
Overall not a fan of that selection.
 
Reid dropping 1 more spot would be pretty good.

Interesting that Jasper Alger is drafted in the first round. Could be the Kai Lohmann of this draft.
 
How crap is our Footy media, where's all the pick swap rumours? This thread is slowing down to a snails pace.......

Gunna have to make our own rumours up .....

oh wait.
 
richoplzbreed said:
I wasn't keen on trading for pick 2 but if reports are they're keen to add 2025 F1 then the club needs to seriously consider it. With the irrelevant rabble selling 2 home games to WA I can't see them leaving the bottom 4. Also the bummers looking to offload Dees 2025 F1 is tempting too. I reckon the Bummers would take pick 20 or 23 for it too. I mean their options of teams to trade with to get into the 1st round are limited.

Imagine ending up with picks 1, 3 ,4 in 2025 on the back of a great haul this year.

yes lets be a doormat

we need to be reactive and seriously consider what other clubs want especially above our needs???

I don't mind Dodson but the worst type of investment in the draft is a pure ruck.

They take considerablely longer than any other position to be ready to play in the 1's & the majority of the time you're basically clogging a spot on the list for the next 5-6 drafts even if they show promise.

Rookie list or trade for a ready made ruck are always the better options.

Rather try and get Knobel from Freo than invest in a pure ruck from the draft.
