Not sure if anyone's posted this already, but Kayle comes across as a grounded guy. Also, 11 clubs spoke to him at the combine, incl. Hawthorn and Collingwood.
Barracked for Hawks as a kid.

His old boy was on their list for a bit. Never played

Best genuine KPF in the Comp. 600+ goal career.

What happened? It was 800+ a while back....he retiring early?

Aka you want FOS

No. FOS just doesn’t find enough of the ball for me. He’s probably the least preferred on our board. Draper has the most hype. I think Jagga is the safest bet.

Ok keep pick 2. I don't want to trade 2 or 3 picks for pick 2 anyway.
I think you want to trade it because you could probably get Tauru at pick 6 to 10, so you don't want to use pick 2 on him.
I'd be happy to take 7 picks and trade pick 23 for a future pick.

I’m so happy I get to watch these negotiations in real time.

Good, grab your save our skins tin, your squeegee and **** off back down Victoria st.

Clubs didn't reach for Walter, Darcy, or JUH because they didn't have to pay full whack with a top 3 pick. Also, they were not bottom of the ladder teams having to make precious use of a top end pick to rebuild a weak list. It's really not reaching when you are a team in contention that gets to use a bunch of third round picks (with 20% discount) to match a top 3 bid.

Nothing to do with the discussion. Regardless of what you’re saying you shouldn’t reach for talls.

Feels like we’ll trade the F1 more than 2, reckon one of that FOS/Draper/Lalor trio is the cherry on top of our midfield and we were active in shopping it during trade week. We don’t have many list spots so it needs to be a good pick but I can see Richmond seeing as much value spreading this rebuild over two drafts and that F1 will be a nice addition to the likely pick 1 in 2025. Maybe seek 10/11 if Tauru is still on the board and if we can get something in the late teens to twenties with it even better. Add Tauru and a high rated KPP to one of those top mids and it’s another great draft for us. I think it’s the sort of thing that might be done on the night though. We can still be very active in next years window with free agency and future trades.

You're confirming my point........clubs DO reach for whoever is considered the #1 key forward in any draft. Rarely if ever do they end up being the best player in the draft, BUT they don't grow on trees, and if you want the best key forward you typically have to pay up.

It rarely happens and when it does, it generally backfires. No chance it happens in this draft.

3 out of the 4 are academy / father-son. Is that the pattern?

still require a bid from another club to go that high in the draft.

I think you could be on to something…

I did say that picks swapping will be when we are on the clock. Should be an interesting watch to be honest.

Love that he has a basketball background. Commentators will keep that under wraps though.
