Tom Morris saying Kemp more likely to get to Saints than stay at Carlton. Also says Saints will need to "pony up" for him.


Interesting.

I wonder if it's tied to the Kennedy trade, which I've seen on here as potentially being 25.

Kemp + 25 for pick 7 or 8

Not only 2 picks inside the top 20, per Austins plan, but 2 inside the top 10.

Let's be real for a minute... I don't think we're necessarily interested in trading away Kemp. More of a "show us what you're offering and we might consider it" kind of situation...

I don't think we should trade him because if we start losing talls, we're screwed. But I would also look at it if the price tag was too good to be true...

If you're Austin, what is the minimum pick you'd require in order to make you consider the trade?

I'm stuck on 7 or 8
 
If the Riolo deal goes through as expected they will have 7 first round picks (1,6,10,11,18,20,23) and pick 24

Wow
Yeah but fair few of them them Bitchmond will manage to somehow stuff up probably.
 
Would have preferred 12 and 14 personally.
We get another very good mid to go with our array of very good mids.
At pick 12 or 14 - likely to be 15 & 17 by the time we'd use those picks - you're really not getting a very good mid. You're getting a decent player, B grader perhaps. Likely someone who isn't playing immediately. Hopefully in yr 2 or 3 they solidify their place and will be a solid long term player.

Pick 3 you're getting a potentially club changing player. For a club like us in finals and ideally pushing for a flag you're looking at something like Ashcroft/Daicos type impact.

I'm surprised at the doubters on pick 3, I don't see any downside. 2 first rounders sounds nice on paper but when you see it's basically 2 picks in the mid-late teens then they aren't premium picks, at all. There's a reason why WEagles fans are having conniptions and the broader media can't believe what they've done here.
 
That would be a monumental stuff up with those picks. No one could stuff up with that bank could they?
You'd think not but it's Richmond...

I tend to agree with you

I expect we will go for a player who can make an impact immediately and is not the same as what we already have. I'm no draft expert so not sure who that is
 
There is 0 chance Kemp gets a pick inside 15.

Agree. I think if Kemp goes it'll be for a 2nd rounder. Either f2 or something before campo bids this year.

I would much rather keep him for that. But if we do trade him it means we don't really rate him and was probably going to just be depth next year.

Would be surprised if we trade him for that. We're lacking depth at either end of the ground and at worst he provides AFL quality cover.
 
I'd say Richmond's list management over the last decade has been pretty good. Netted them 3 flags.
Overall yes, but they have a penchant even in their peak years to draft some absolute potatos. And let's face it, they were largely carried by a peak Dusty.
