North are just showing how desperate they are.It will be 2 future 1st for 6/13/18 or 20 let’s see
Give it a rest mate, you are just making a goose of yourself now.Sadly Melbourne paid less for Essendon pick 9.
He's a bit different to anyone. Maybe Amartey but better ground game?Who is he like do you think?
North, if you reflect what North desire, are hell bent on getting pick 6 from us.Tigers give 6/10/11/18
Get 2/north’s future 1st /15/16
North get 6/13/18
Port get 10 give 13/29
Gws get 11/29
Give 15/16/
Just my thoughts
Overall, there was a bit of list management in my selections along with who I liked the look of, so a few I didn't mention purely as I didn't think they were the type we needed to focus on.Really like your analysis here.
Some questions...
If Murphy Reid is still on the board would you take Lindsay ahead of him?
Not a Travaglia fan?
Why Shanahan over Armstrong?
So lets get this rightTigers give 6/10/11/18

Just my thoughts
Chalk and Cheese, Amartey is a poor man's 2nd tall forward, can't ruck. Gerreyn is taller, much stronger, bigger, is dual sided, has a bit of mongrel, can act as a 2nd midfielder and is a better mark, he's a leader. Watch his kicking, he's able to dob a goal from 60m.He's a bit different to anyone. Maybe Amartey but better ground game?
Not a bad haul but I’d be pissed if Draper was on the board at 6 and we didn’t take him. He’s my top prospect in the draft.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.
Tigers give 6/10/11/18
Get 2/north’s future 1st /15/16
North get 6/13/18
Port get 10 give 13/29
Gws get 11/29
Give 15/16/
Just my thoughts
So lets get this right
Tigers out : #6 , #10 , #11 , #18
Tigers in : #2 , #15 ,#16 + Norths F1
I Could live with that
#6 + #11 for #2 + F1
#10 +#18 for #15 + #16
Wot?Sadly Melbourne paid less for Essendon pick 9.
I dont hate it , But i could live with itHate it, feel like the draft is touted as being so even you would rather 10 so you definitely get who you want in the second tier and then be content with who is there at 18. If all the good talls are gone by pick 14 and we have only 1 and 2 and have got mids we are going to have egg on our face.
Our hand is honestly so strong we should just take it to the draft unless we get massive overs.
I’ve watched a few that I like early on. That’s all I need to know. Like I also said Richmond will know what’s best mate. I’m not a fan of 8 kids coming out of contract at once. I’m not a fan of all these kids coming in and only half getting game time and some wanting to leave. But I don’t control Richmond you need to not get so wound up. Blair will do what he thinks is best and if that means trade up then that’s what he will do.
No one asked.Just my thoughts
Either way it's clear the club has no intention of taking 8 kids- they will trade 1-2 picks into 2025 draft and likely 1 might be lost to either move up or split to pick up mature ages.

You campaigners are off ya ****I dont hate it , But i could live with it
But if the #18 was #20 - I would Love it
#1 & #2 is better than #1 + #6
#10 for F1 is overs but compensates for the upgrade of #6 to #2
#11 + #20 would be a great result for #15 + #16 and we could still get Hotton & Shannahan
4 picks for 4 picks
#1 , #2 , #15 , #16 , #18 , #23 , #24
Take the first 5 picks in the draft
Trade #23 + #24 into Bombers & St Kilda F1's
5 1st rounders in 2024
4 1st rounders in 2025 ( Richmond , North , St Kilda , Essendon) plus Richmond 2nd rounder
Honestly that seems like a bad deal for every team you mentioned apart from North Melbourne.Tigers give 6/10/11/18
