I'd do that with him rather than Reef, because Reef has a touch more of a chance to make it - so you don't want him to come on and then be a UFA down the track. A small risk.

We’ll be shit in the VFL again next year. Already had a couple of our better VFL players leave.

I still like AJ. He needs to listen closely to what Fly is telling him. Super talented

To be fair those are quite old lol
I think the strike rate on Top 10 picks is far better than it's ever been, but it's still not a guarantee. Let alone anything outside the Top 10
There are so many ways this can go wrong for Richmond:
1) All those kids turn out not great
2) All of them turn out great but they can't keep them all under the cap
3) They turn out great but want to leave after playing in a garbage team for their first 3 years
Whether you like our "players not picks" strategy or not, we objectively strengthened our list. One of the players we did that with was a player who was unanimously agreed to be the best player available in the trade period

How to assess which clubs improved or failed in the AFL trade period
After a week and a half of furrowed brows and frantic paperwork, the dust has begun to settle on a new footy future for all 18 AFL clubs.

Don't reckon Adelaide was 7th, they topped up to have a serious crack next year.

Dwayne gets it. All these other dipsticks talking down our future. 2025 is the future. Coming off a premiership & then just missing the 8, why wouldn't we be going for another premiership next year? Isn't that what you should be aiming for unless you're going through a complete rebuild like Tigers?
I’d put them 5th, they got ANB, Cumming and Peatling and whoever they get at Pick 4. That’s a great trade period, pretty much improved in every area they needed

You're assuming everyone is going to be fit all at the same time. It hasn't happened yet.. I think Membrey would be a great get.

Yeah… I was just taking the Pi55.
At the very least, if they all become good they will be good trade able assets for the future.
The challenge is devoting the resources for all of them at the same time to meet each of their individual development needs over the next four or five years while bringing in new draftees over this time.
I don’t get Carlton.
They traded pick 11, F1 and F2, Owies and Kennedy for an 8 pick upgrade in an even draft and a very late second/ third rounder?
Did I miss something?

This number 3 pick has all the pressure in the world on him. I hope they stuff it up royally. One things for certain, we'll be making comparisons to Nicks first and second years and if he doesn't compare they'll be coping it

Liked for including Chris Egan as a miss. Maximum mirth points.
Parker as catB
Hoping there’s confirmation of Reef for an extension

Good point Swipey!
That is the problem - very rarely are these things revisited.
It seems now a days their are premierships awarded for a teams presence in the national draft.
