WC don't have to give up 2 or 3 assets. They can just give up pick 1 or 2 next year. Warner is probably way better than anyone they could draft. The AFL want the Swans to stay up the top for ratings, and might also do something to help Sydney like tell WC they will give them a priority pick, but only if they trade it to Sydney.

If I was Richmond I’d ask for Knobel with 9 for Bolton.
The bloke is going to be monster ruck and can develop with their other young draftees

Noddy has re-signed
Depends.
I’d show him a **** load of tapes of Cameron Ling and tell him we want him to be like that only faster
I would show NOD the tapes of himself kicking running goals and say we want more of this. He's athletically gifted so turning him into an inside tagger just seems like a waste to me. Let teams worry about NOD not have NOD worry about them.
Nank would only have 2 or so years left in him as well, makes perfect sense list wise for them to be after someone like Knobel.

Ling used to do that on the regular while tagging

They seem to use it as a way of getting players up to speed in the middle. They did the same with Young and now he is off the leash. Great way to learn what the best players do, watching the vision during the week and then first hand in the game.
Also, I doubt it would be a Crowleyesque tagging role, not so close checking.
Losing Nobel and watching him become a beast would suck.

I don't think he will unfortunately, probably trade bait for Richmond. It's a shame because if he continues his current trajectory, I can see him competing for Darcy's spot. We really need a plan B for Darcy cause I'm loosing faith.
Not many like Ling though, he was one of a kind who could get the ball himself and stop the best. He could also take an unreal overhead mark, NOD breaks lines so I just can't see why we would want to make him a tagger.
We’ve officially lost the plot if that’s the caseTwomey just stated we have pick 10 on the table
For Liam Baker
I was watching Reidy against Jones on the weekend and thinking Knobel may be a better match as he’s just bigger
Yeah, I get that the team likes to do it that way but I don't really see the need myself. Young was going to be an offensive weapon in the midfield regardless if he spent 10 games playing the defensive role. The best mids mostly either start off playing forward (backline as well recently ie Daicos and Sheezle) with some mid time or just pure midfield time. Can't think of any that started as taggers then went onto become the best, only we seem to think you need to learn by tagging.

I wasn't going to say "I told you so" in regards to O'Driscoll, but I told you so.
Genuinely was shocked at how many people genuinely thought he was a chance to walk out and leave, was never in doubt that he was staying in my opinion.

If you dont mind me intruding and giving a richmond supporters opinion on this on your board
Richmond would rather picks in this years draft than in 2025 but early picks
If freo could haggle pick #2 from North in some way then that pick would be what we would be looking at
Richmond will be looking to move #21 into next year for a F1 possibly to Geelong or Pies maybe even Port
very good chance we will have pick #1 again and possibly pick #2 with Noah Balta as a free agent that would attract Mac Andrews level interest and with Dyson Sharp / Archie Ludowyke as the stand out mid and Fowards i dont know if Richmond will match that type of offer.
I also think North will be better next year than people may think and wouldnt surprise me to see them finish 10-13 range with all the talent they now have and another year
Ahhhhhh
Lynch $1.5
Hopper $700k
Taranto $700k
Think we have enough front ending that wont be an issue
But cap space is a tool that could be used to get better picks and as of next year cap trading is a high chance to come in
pay everybody up and buy picks with cap space next 2 years then free agents would be the plan
What if we did mind?

You touched on it but your club is going to be interested in getting at least one extra future 1st and North's is going to be the best one up for grabs. It's just too many picks this year and if there's any club that can be patient to possibly get MAXIMUM value, it's Richmond. 5 or 6 picks top 20 picks in one draft is just not the best way to go about things IMO.
Everyone keeps expecting North to go up, yet down the bottom they stay and who else do you honestly think is more likely of being bottom 4? For North, pick 9 is more valuable than their future 1st if it means getting Houston. For Richmond, I'd have thought it's about getting as much value as possible and you cant possibly lose because North's pick is absolutely not going to be pick 9 next year, even if they improve.
I keep getting told by a Richmond supporter that the top 5 is where it's at and you wouldnt take the unloseable gamble to get one?
This is the deciding factor tbh, can Richmond walk away from the picks if negotiations get too tough, or likewise can Freo walkaway from Bolton et. al?
Might be a Freo bias thing, but Freo are in a stronger position here using that perspective. Outside looking in, Tigers fans seem extremely excited they are going to get the world purely because Freo have the currency, and Freo fans seem to want to only part with minimal currency... so it'll likely be somewhere in the middle.
