what's even more staggering is how the haul was accumulated

Liam Baker never finished in the top 3 of the B&F did he? Jack Graham the same. Shai Bolton the only genuine one who was worth a first rounder..

staggers me how easy they acquired first round picks

Also Daniel Rioli.

Definitely capitalised on their outgoing players.

Brisbane Lions match bid for Sandringham Dragon Sam Marshall

still staggers me how this works

 

[Keystone agony]

Cox wasn’t - Reid, sure. Absolutely an FB. Still, Richmond added a mid (2), 2 KPF’s and a KPD.

Cox was playing as a CHB or tall FWD if not for covid. Theres just no qualms about that

What he did all PS and in PS games just pre covid

So the draft isn't being split in to rounds this year?

It is. This is still the first round. Pick 18 is pushed way, way out.

 

[boncer34]

Now to target eagles 29/30 with 2nd rounders

Not the future first?

 

[Vander18]

Clubs are really picking the eyes out of the Vic Metro and Country talent.

The Allies and WA were both very competitive at the champs….should be some very solid interstate talent available when we pick if we are prepared to roll the dice and risk the go home factor.

 

[Keystone agony]

Not the future first?

Depends how much we really like them, feel we need them

Also still has its risk to do it now, may still require an F1 but maybe youd want to get something else in return now

Brisbane Lions match bid for Sandringham Dragon Sam Marshall

still staggers me how this works

How what works? Lions can’t control if he comes to melb to board

 

[King Patty]

That Richmond haul is impressive.
Trade out now would be good for
Them With 27

 

[Vander18]

How what works? Lions can’t control if he comes to melb to board

He mentioned that he came in year 10….wonder what the rules are re staying tied to an Academy?

Pretty generous apparently.

 

[doug85]

Time to throw a couple of second rounders at someone to get Shanahan?

 

[andleanback]

Sydney 1st round recruiting been very strange the last couple of years

 

[eth-dog]

That's very early.

Tigers won't take Shanahan at this stage. Maybe Dodson? Either way, very keen to trade up to 27 tomorrow

 

[doug85]

Please norf give up F1 for pick 27

 

[Call Me Cake]

That Richmond haul is impressive.

Every draft is impressive. It's called recency bias.

History shows us that not all picks turn out great, and most of their key position players are in the less certainty range. They've decided to go all in one draft instead of spreading it out which is a big risk.

But I'd like them to defy history as I like teams being rewarded for realising it's over rather than them being clueless like West Coast were and Collingwood are (albeit could've been earlier, cough Taranto/Hopper cough) but the realist in me says it's not likely.

 

[doug85]

Far out

 

[Keystone agony]

Theres your Future top 3 pick ha, told ya again

 

[Keystone agony]

Ill wait

social media already writing off the 2025 draft as hopeless and Dons deal was poor. Even before realising Dees were sliding down this year

u wot m8

 

[eth-dog]

They've given up a probable top 5 pick for 27 and a F2. Wow.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Gees Tigers have robbed North there

 

[faible]

Bigly from Norf, F1 is say 5, for 27 plus F2 ~ 19

 

[andleanback]

North Melbourne horrific

 

[bombreys]

Bad luck if it’s a bust of a draft. 8 picks in the first round is a big investment in one draft cohort.

It’s a big investment but it’s the right draft to do it in. Huge risk for us taking just the one player in the top 40 on the same hand
