I still look at that draft and see them as averaging out, well, actually I think we won it easily. Campbell remind a few of his talent and physicality the other night.
Never really understood the reasoning why Campbell was rated more highly externally. Gulden was the higher rated a year out, then yeah Braeden had the standout futures game, but both had good draft years.
Some have said Gulden's size may have been a factor, but joke's on other clubs I guess. I imagine we still had him much more highly rated as you say. We would have gone into deficit if needed.
Every other club had a chance to bid on Gulden earlier but didn’t, and most clubs had two opportunities. If Gulden went below market value, then the only things other clubs need to look at is a mirror.Yes, I acknowledge some thought he’d be higher - but Twomey had him at 8, and plenty of phantom drafts had him in the 8-12 range.
Poor bloke - to think, he had the opportunity to nominate North.
I still stand by my view that apart from Gulden, we generally pay fair market value for academy picks. And if Gulden was taller, he’d have gone top 15.
I think Gulden slid because there was no U18 championships in his draft year. If there had been, he would have dominated.
I think we had just two academy matches against GWS and the local Sydney competition. I remember watching the low quality streams of the academy games against GWS. Gulden was everywhere picking up possessions with his workrate and had clean hands in wet conditions.

Richmond under/over 8.5 national draftees this year?
I honestly can't even figure out where their land would start
Yes they will bundle picks but they are also going to get Picks from Bolton, Baker and Rioli who i reckon are all higher probability of leaving than staying so it could be a mass exodus. So i wouldn't be surprised honestly if they had 8 selections all within the top 40Around 8, but won't be more, asking for trouble turning half the best 22 in a year. They will look to bundle picks especially with GC who have the Lombard bid coming

I you keep replying you can't loseThey won’t take all those this year will spread it over 2-3 years. Baker isn’t worth more than a second anyway,
Fair enough. They still then must have traded first and potentially also second round picks that would have got the job done. They certainly can’t complain that Sydney got Gulden for a steal.I'm being pedantic but not every other club, Carlton, Richmond and WC didn't.
Any interest in Owies? He's had a pretty good season.
Carlton don't want him. I reckon he would come cheap, both in a monetary sense and also trade wise (?free agent). His career stats are good for tackles and goals, average to ordinary for most other areas.Yer Owies would be good
TBH all the chatter about players I don't care about flitting between clubs I don't care about doesn't excite me a whole lot.
I can only imagine us trading out 3 players at very most and probably not even them.
Parker I really hope not.
Sheldrick I really hope not.
Ladhams I don't mind either way.
Noah Balta would be a great pick up but probably zero likelihood. Can't see anyone else.
Even the draft isn't super exciting.
Have to concentrate on the here and now.
No. Admittedly this is only because I think his giant head makes him look ridiculous.Any interest in Owies? He's had a pretty good season.

I'd prefer we just use any vacant list spots on the existing out of contract players, than signing fringe players from other teams.Any interest in Owies? He's had a pretty good season.

He needs to go back to XWhite flag raised on Monday as I’m away for 3 weeks
He's always injured though.Any interest in Owies? He's had a pretty good season.
