Just a thought I heard we can trade our future 1st if we received a future 2nd and target someone like Jack Whitlock Jobe Shanahan obviously we would have to wait until after the Sam Marshall bid
Are they better or worse than Annable next year, because that kind of trade makes it very hard to get points to match him under the new system.
 
Not sure but are the key forwards any better next season and would they be available later in the draft Clubs will have the ability to trade future picks two years in advance from next season Annable is our first round pick next season what's our Academy like form 2026 is it worth trading our future 1st 2026 pick to take the Key forwards this draft

According to the trade draft board 2026 is looking the best year for talent the academy has ever had. So on that premise trading future firsts is probably not a good idea.

I don’t know about that just yet.

‘25 and ‘26 look about the same to me.

The difference is, all our top end talent from this year is going around again as 19 year olds next year in the academy.

Going to make next year’s draft very interesting if more than a couple of our overagers have Keidean Coleman type years.
 
Draft Intel: Calls For Tigers To Bid On Ashcroft At No. 1

Levi Ashcroft’s coach says the Brisbane Lions father-son prospect is “undoubtedly” the best player in this year’s draft, urging Richmond to place a bid on him with the No. 1 pick.
Rob Harding — a former Essendon assistant who has coached Ashcroft through the Sandringham Dragons and Vic Metro the past two years — said players should be recognised as the best talent in the draft pool regardless of their ties to clubs.
“If you put aside Levi for a second, it’s a broader thing about making sure that players who are Academy or father-son are recognised rightly for their position in the draft order,” Harding told this column.
“The draft order is not universal, but we’ve got a case here where I think the vast, vast majority of people see Levi as being the No. 1 pick, and if it was an open pool, he’d be a clear pick one. So I think it’s important that these players are recognised for all the hard work that they put in.”
“We’ve seen it in recent years with players like Nick Dacos and Will Ashcroft not going at pick one,” Harding said.
“They deserve that recognition and I’ve seen Levi up close for the last two years and I’ve coached a number of players in this pool and I’ve coached against a number of players in this pool. Speaking to clubs and recruiters as well, he’s clearly pick one.
“I’d like to see him recognised for that and I really hope Richmond do the right thing and bid on him. I think it’s important for the integrity of the draft that academy and father-son players are bid on where they should be bid on.”
 
Are they better or worse than Annable next year, because that kind of trade makes it very hard to get points to match him under the new system.

I wonder if we can we use our 2026 first next year to match Annable and keep it rolling forward.
 
Yes, but all future draft picks count as the last pick in the round from a points perspective, at the time the bid is made.
You get more value by trading them forward, and there's usually someone willing to do it.
 
The closer we come to the Tasmanian entree in draft terms the more valuable first round picks will become.

Tasmania will be gifted a lot of first rounders in the first two years of them coming into the league. Just like GWS and The Suns were.

No team will want to finish in the bottom half, so leveraging their hand for high end picks in the drafts prior will be the modus operandi.

If we play the long game we will extract lots more value. So this year take our two Lashcroft and Marshal and one of our tall academy kids and wait for more rorts to fall our way in the coming drafts.

I don't see this fascination with drafting for the sake of it. We know that our list management is more strategic than that.

Nek minit Ambrogio trades our future first.
